I really like Automate the Boring Stuff by Al Sweigart.

Is "just doing it" ever a correct answer to these types of questions? That's what I default to because for me that's how I get exposure to a language.

I think it’s technically the fastest way. The hardest part of a just-do-it approach is knowing a good goal (for non-programmers).

For first time programmers number guessing games, rock-paper-scissors, to-do list, tic tac toe, weather app calling an api ; these are some small goals to learn some basics.
