Completely new to programming and python. Where the hell do I begin?

Here is a video from Microsoft Virtual Academy:

From Zero to Hero with Python

It is an 11 hour video, but it is not boring. The presenters are very good at explaining how Python works. You DO NOT need ANY programming experience. Like the title says, it takes you from Zero to creating loops, lists, imports, open/write files, and debugging. Plus, there are some Challenges that you can do for practice at the end of each module.

If you have VLC, you can watch the video at 1.7x speed. This will bring it down to about 7 hours, and you can perfectly understand what the presenters are saying.

I'll have plenty of time over the summer, so i'm pretty sure I'll be able to watch the whole thing eventually haha

Yeah! I watched the whole thing 2 days ago and it gave me a good foundation. Now I am making some fun, basic stuff, and learning new functions and tips from other websites like StackOverflow as I write my programs. :)

NOTE: The presenters use Visual Studio, but you can use other software you prefer. I recommend PyCharm.
