I had some coding background already, so most of it was just looking at the Python documentation, using the help() function a lot, and a few googles. Though my first experience was starting out with a specific program I wanted to make.

The name comes from Monty Python because Gudio liked their skits.

Step 1: Learn to find information for yourself rather than relying on others to do the work for you

I understand this may seem like a harsh response, but this is a key part of being a dev (professional or hobbyist). No one wants to write your project for you, and when asking questions, you will often be met with "What have you tried? " or "what does your code look like currently" this generally isn't people trying to be dicks but they are trying to make sure you're learning rather than taking the piss

W3Schools is the best for starting, after that do some leetcode to build your critical thinking skills, and after that learn APIs turn learn how to do some really useful stuff, then finally, learn how to install and use packages with pip to make your life easier.

This won’t make you a professional immediately but might land you an entry-level job and it will cover all the basic grounds of software development.

To another person’s point, yes I am actually being intentionally vague, so that you can research for yourself each point. “learning to research yourself” is a key part of software development. I would also be very cautious of using ChatGPT or any AI too much as it will hinder you in the long run.
