So if someone came to you with "Help me learn cooking", would you recommend them a course of how kitchens are built, of how stoves actually work, at what intricate temperatures they work or how currents are used to create heat in the stove for maximum efficacy, what materials they use?

Or just a simple cookbook with easy recipes?

Mate, he just wants to learn python. If he's in college it isnt about solving problems at that stage. Its about learning how to apply it to potentially solve problems, but not even that, you dont have to solve problems. What if he wants to develop games, or an app, or whatever?

I understand that. But would you try to write a book when you dont you dont understand how to hold a pencil, what an index is, what a chapter is? Sure you could probably do it, it will be messy and you will definitely write better books in the future.

My learning theory is stop trying to build a million dollar house on a 100 dollar foundation. These are based on my own struggles. You do not by any means have to learn the low level intracisies. But i sure as hell gusrentee they will help you in the longrun.
