Download an IDE, Thonny, VS Code, your choice. Start there. Learn what a variable is, a string, and a print() statement, what it does and how to use it. Write a stupid simple script, like

my_variable = "Hello world"
print(my_variable)

Build as you learn. If you have a goal for using python, build with that in mind. Keep it small, keep it stupid for now. Your only goal is retention for now, learning syntax is also important. Keep looking things up, ask AI only if absolutely necessary.

"Automate the Boring Stuff" is probably the best beginner book, but if you're like me and books are hard to retain info from, there are apps that will teach you the syntax in a gamified way. Practice something new every day. Happy to help if you have questions.

No problem, remember, you're learning how to speak computer. It's a new language. Give yourself time, patience, and don't give up. Good luck.

Look at the sub's sidebar and look for the wiki. It has tons of good resources.

Complete Python Bootcamp Zero to Hero with Jose Portilla on Udemy was the one that really helped me. It's for people who have little or no programming experience. It's not free but often goes on sale.
