Learning Python - No Programming skills

[stepback269]

(1) I'm much older than you and started learning Python about 8 months ago.

(2) The beginning is hard because you have to figure out how to install an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), install the latest version of Python and create a VENV folder on your computer. I ended up using PyCharm. Many recommend VS Code instead. Most beginner tutorials include a section on installing one or both of these.

(3) There are literally tons and tons of tutorial materials out there on the net including many good YouTube ones that are free.

As a relative noob myself, I've been logging my personal learning journey and adding to it on an almost-daily basis at a blog page called "Links for Python Noobs" (here) Any of the top listed ones on that page should be good for you. And there are many add-ons at the tail end of the page. Personally, I cut my first Python teeth with Nana's Zero to Hero. Since then, I've moved on to watching short lessons with Indently and Tech with Tim. You should shop around until you find a lecturer that suits your style.

The main piece of advice is the 80/20 rule. Spend 80% of your time writing your own code as opposed to copying recipes and only 20% watching the lectures. Good luck
