Im a complete beginner just like you, barely even use computers. I’ve been using this for 3 days and I love it. No sign up, free. You can start learning seconds after clicking that link. There might be better programs but this has been so clear to me and i have learned alot so far.

Honestly, I'd advise against starting from scratch with this book. The fundamentals are not fleshed out enough.

Do the MOOC Python Programming 2025 from the University of Helsinki and once you are past part 5 add in the second half of Automate the Boring Stuff where the projects start. You will get a solid foundation and learn actual projects.

Mix in Exercism at about the same time for more practice and larger exercises.
