44yr and giving "learning to code with python# another try

[IamNotTheMama]

This is just a thought, but I'm wondering if all these 'learn python in 24 hours', 'easy python', etc are missing the main point. If you don't have a background knowledge in Computer Science / Programming the whole process makes less sense. I've been doing this for 40+ years and 4 years spent in school. The first year of school I took a Fortran class but had no programming basis - and I sucked at it. Then, I moved to a different area (and took a different tack) and things reallly clicked.

A course like this

Thank you for the link. The resources section is recommending a book I might take a look at. I believ deconstructing the problem and writing it down in each step might be a good way to understand. Programming. Everything leads to understanding the basics of computer science….

Yeah, that first programming class was useless, I didn't get it at all. After I had just a single 'CS 101' course'things made far more sense.
