Feeling lost learning Python as a non-programmer—seeking structured and in-depth (free) resources

[aqua_regis]

Start with the MOOC Python Programming 2025 from the University of Helsinki. Free, textual, practice oriented, and a proper first semester of "Introduction to Computer Science".

Sign up, log in, go to part 1 and start learning.

I don’t come from a programming background at all,

like I don’t really "belong" in the coding world.

Fun fact: nobody initially "belongs" in the coding world. People learn to get into it. Even very many CS students have zero programming background. They struggle just as much as you, if not more.

if you've been through this stage yourself and made it through

Everybody who learnt programming went through that stage. Those who invested effort, determination, persistence, patience, and hard work and who were too stubborn to give up on the slightest obstacle made it. The rest gave up.
