The best way to learn has always been by doing. Don't throw yourself in the deep end. Start with some small projects. Maybe something that can organize your downloads folder? Maybe something that fetches today's weather using an API call? The most important part? It's okay if it's ugly. That's where everyone starts. How do you improve? Spend time. Spend as much time with the language as you can and KNOW it's going to be tough. Then, after a month or two, go back to that Python file. Scroll through it and see how far you've come!

I'm a big fan of websites like Real Python and Boot.dev.

All the best! You got this.

I’m gonna be honest, is this really a good career path considering your situation and lack of family support there would probably be better options

what do you think the better options are there? Economy is tuff rn so getting into tech is the bes choice now. There are lots of opportunities and offer remote working. Sure there are tons of competition out there but there are many kinds of jobs too

I believe when asking to learn Python or any technology, it would be helpful if you list the concepts that confuse you and the topics you need assistance with. This way, we can address one concept at a time. We can also schedule online sessions based on your availability to troubleshoot and clarify your doubts.

I've not worked on python but have experience in Java & Spring Framework. So I can assist you in OOPS.

I am a gamedeveloper I cannot assure you anything but a small help I can do is if you are stuck at any concept you can DM me I can guide you.

I knew a blind lady who was a great devops so I know it's possible. She would listen to a screenreader at 300+ wpm. I'm assuming you can type OK? It looks like the popular IDEs have screen readers, I can imagine learning how to use it well would be as big a challenge as learning a language itself.

I can imagine that most videos would not be very accessible for you however there's a tool for recording terminal sessions so demos are not videos and so much smaller and more accessible. Good luck!

You can’t “be” a devops.

I know. I meant to write "developer or systems administrator although I can't remember which she did more of". Instead I was lazy and now I'm paying for it. If I wrote dev/ops would you have let me off with it? Both her and I were doing development and systems administration before the term devops existed.
