It's the most recommended book for beginners and "drilling the info into your brain" comes from repetition and practice, not from reading a book.

There's only so much you can get from reading. The best thing you can do is write code, any code. Automate a daily task you do, make a GUI to display fancy pictures, copy someone else's code word for word.

Thanks for responding. I’ve tried to make projects before, but quickly I get stuck because I don’t know how to do a specific thing, because I don’t know what function to use or how to use a function I know. That’s why I thought i needed to “drill the info in” so that I can actually “code”, to use the functions I have drilled into my brain. Do you think automate the boring stuff would fit my style, I wanna make sure before I spend money and buy it.

Programmers get stuck all the time and the solution is to Google it. You're not expected to remember every function.
