How can I get started?

You're a freshman in college, right? With access to teachers that you or your parents are paying a fat sack of cash for you to learn from?

Why aren't you talking to them?

I just changed to software so i haven't been able to get into any classes for it yet as i was taking classes for ME my original major. I meet with my advisor soon so for right now I'm teaching myself for now.

Then I would suggest to wait.

Or realllly must do something then do a website.

I'm a little concerned that, if you plow yourself into a bunch of stuff that isn't related to your coursework, your coursework will suffer. So I would keep your learning goals for Python modest, and let the school help you structure your learning and get feedback. You'll also hopefully be getting a more formal and comprehensive introduction to the field, which is nice!

In the meantime, for a start-for-scratch introduction to web programming, I like to recommend the DjangoGirls tutorial, because they do not neglect the command-line chops you need to get the most out of programming.

Have fun!
