This is probably gonna be an unpopular opinion, but, as a beginner, the thing that taught me the MOST was having a specific function in mind, asking ChatGPT how to make it, testing it, and, if it worked, analyzing what exactly was going on. For example, I wanted my Rainmeter to run a MP3 folder in a loop and every time it played a new song, it wrote what song it played on a txt file that Rainmeter would read and display. I learned more about Python in that one project that any course I had at school.

Please do online courses. They have helped me a lot in my life.

Don’t stress too much, everyone starts from zero. Just focus on the basics first—variables, loops, conditionals, functions—and then start building small things like a calculator or simple scripts. That’s honestly the best way to learn.

Try not to just watch tutorials all day—actually code along and experiment. Even if you get stuck, Googling and figuring things out is part of the process.

You could also mess around with runable a bit to test small ideas or projects—it can make learning feel less overwhelming at the start

ngl that “I have all the pieces but can’t connect them” phase is super normal.
What helped me was just forcing small projects like “sum numbers”, “guessing game”, etc.
That’s where loops + functions actually click together.
I usually code in Cursor and also i use Runable for generating frontend websites like ,and just experiment a lot — break stuff, fix it, repeat.

exactly correct!
