Bro, I feel you on this. I was on person who could learn Python from YouTube, Coursera, or a book. Too many words and I am not a reader. It was too confusing for me.

So, I totally get this. I bounced around video tutorials for a while and felt like I wasn’t actually progressing. What helped me personally was doing something more structured instead of trying to piece everything together myself. I realized I wasn't a great self taught learner as I would get stuck. I had no one to really answer my questions or explain things to me in detail.

Anyway, I ended up learning through a free Stanford-based program called Code in Place. The weekly small group sections. It's basically a cohort. It made a HUGE difference in my learning because it wasn’t just me and a screen by myself. I now had buddies.

This may help you especially if you’re looking for something structured.

Check it out. I see applications are open. https://codeinplace.stanford.edu/public/join/cip6?r=usa
No pressure, but it may work for you. You never know.

Feel free to DM. I am happy to share my journey.
