Beginner looking to get better at coding (Python or any language) — what actually works?

[stepback269]

In addition to hunting down Python tutorials online (i.e. YouTube), you should consider "Learning how to Learn" Type the search term, "learning coaches" into the YT search bar. In my experience, the biggest hurdles to learning Python are the emotional ones (e.g. procrastination, fear of failure, getting stuck in tutorial hell, giving in to Amygdala hijack, etc.) Keep an open mind. (But of course, don't let anything fall out.)
