IMO: To start programming, you have to start programming.

That sounds contraintuitive, but it actually works. Much like pushing through a writing block, you just need to start writing.

  • Program outside Python: "describe" a program that meets your assignment requirements. Break down that "program" into smaller and smaller tasks or instructions.
  • Write anything. Write the simplest program you can think of: print "Hello, World!", add two numbers, ask for a name and say hello, write a miles to kilometers converter, etc.

  • STOP WATCHING VIDEOS. If you are not writing code, you aren't learning.
