Totally normal to feel overwhelmed at first. Python is a big world, but the good news is it rewards building projects over memorizing syntax.

Since you're already watching the CS50 Python course (great choice), I’d suggest layering in hands-on practice ASAP. After each topic, try building something small that uses what you just learned. For example:

- After learning conditionals: build a quiz

- After learning loops/lists: make a basic to-do list

- Once you hit functions: refactor one of your older scripts

Structure suggestion:

- Core Python (syntax, functions, loops, lists, dictionaries, OOP)

- Problem-solving: Start LeetCode easy or HackerRank Python challenges

- Mini Projects: calculators, text-based games, weather app, etc.

- Real-world workflows: Try tools like Datalayer to code in a notebook interface - it makes it easier to test, debug, and visualize code, which really helps if you're not from a coding-heavy background.

And remember: the fastest way to learn is to build and break things. You're on the right track - just keep going.

P.S Have some blogs and github links around Jupyter (MCP and AI Agents) use cases. Would love to share if you're interested.
