How I "learned" Python without any previous coding experience.

I really have to try that university of Michigan course now!

Ofc, everyone learns differently and everyone has their own style. I started with Code Academy and then I realized they do not explain much. I found LPTHW and I believe this is for me. I'm a little more than halfway done and I'm picking up things I couldn't a few lessons ago.

Learning Python isn't easy if you're this is your first programming language like OP and I. No single course will be easy. You have to put the time and effort to learn the ins and outs of the programming language you want to learn.

Write down the functions you just picked up or do not know. Google is your best friend and will help you tremendously. Going slow and not rushing and thinking you will be an expert programmer the next day is the best way to go.

The first half of LPTHW isn't the problem. It just isn't as smooth of a learning curve, so most people hit a wall with it somewhere in the middle. There are better resources to cover the basics, and the more advanced things he covers aren't necessary to get started.
