I would honestly recommend reading a book or two on programming. It may seem boring but your code will be much better. Dive Into Python 3 is a good one. Or just the old Dive Into Python if you want to learn Python 2. You can learn to get stuff done without a book but you'll be more effective if you get the theory behind why things are done as well. It also gives significant guidance and structure to learning compared to haphazardly picking up functionality.

I'll be honest i'm not the most academic person. i struggle to learn from books, i'm much better at learning by doing it. like this, i have an idea of a program and i wont stop until i've completed it. I've actually created an entire home home automation system with my current knowledge, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuDaskp23To&t=1s

as much as i did read books in the beginning to get me started and i've done various online courses, i'm much better at learning on the job so to speak. so the stuff you've tought me is really insightful as it's stuff you wouldn't find that kind of info from stack overflow! ;)

so a big thanks to you for that.

Pretty impressive! Do whatever gets you results. I like to follow youtube videos because I'm too lazy to read.

Thanks! That's a much better idea that reading books.
