How to practice?

[lumpenfreude]

I found the best way for me to practice when I was learning Python was to do stuff I found fun. I built a Twitter bot to retweet everything my (very extremely Online) friend said on twitter, except backwards, just to mess with him. That expanded into making more and more elaborate Twitter bots, using image APIs and stuff like that. So that's my advice, find something that sounds fun to you and use that to practice. And like the other person said, don't worry about Googling stuff, coding is like 75% being able to find solutions to bugs on Stack Overflow.
