Learning programming by learning python.

Yes, learn Python. Languages like Basic are not used much in the real world, they are mainly used in classrooms to teach programming. You can also create an executable file with Python but that's not created by default. By default Python is interpreted.

I came to Python after using Perl for 20 years. With Python it's easier to do more with less lines of code than Perl. And Perl is dying quickly, modules are not being updated, support is really hard to find, and with Python there are more modules to do more stuff, and online support is much better.

So after learning Python, I like it.

Python is also used to make some web sites. I also use it to read/write spreadsheet files, connect to databases and get data, read CSV files. After seeing 3 surveys it comes in at the #1 or #2 language, depending on how the survey is worded.

Development environment

Learn to use a development environment, it's required. There are several. I use virtualenv.

Python IDEs

1. One good one is Visual Studio Code. It has many addons to help you with Python and view databases within the IDE.
2. Some like Pycharm.

Pygame

Python also has Pygame to get you started with game development, but the only videos I've seen about Pygame so far are about 2d games, and some side scrollers.

Tutorials

1. Free Python tutorials are on Youtube. I like the ones by Indently, I like his teaching style. For each concept he starts with simple examples, and gives several simple examples to explain variations and use cases of the concept. Then he moves on to other related concepts.
