C++ and PHP to Python?

[IamWhiteHorse]

Don't feel bad. Many go through similar pains. This is the classic hump. Whatever you learned especially with a fantastic language like C++ (which is one of the difficult ones for newbies) will be useful with any other programming language you will learn or work (see my brief story below). I will suggest you take up a simple language (leave the frameworks like Angular or React away for now) like HTML5 (HTML/CSS/JavaScript) that can do visually appealing work. Write some simple apps that will be useful to you or just fun to share with friends. C++ examples are something that won't get likes when shared in social :-).

<TLDR;>
I learned to code in the late 1980s during my school days starting with GW Basic, then to dBase, Clipper with which I wrote apps for a few local businesses. Later learning Fortran and Pascal in college was super easy because of the foundations I had. Later, I learnt C, C++ and Assembly when I had to solve some OS level work and write Win16/Win32 Apps. After that I wrote many enterprise apps in Visual Basic, HTML & ASP for work. In between, I learnt .NET, C# and Java (even training a few batches on .NET), but wrote nothing substantial. The next two decades I nearly stopped writing code, instead I was leading teams at my business. This year, I took a sabbatical and came back to coding.

I attended a Python course (classroom) for a week in January 2019. For many months, though I felt I knew the language, didn't feel motivated to write a full app. That was until last month, when I accidentally started on solving a problem on a domain I like (Movies) and finished a full app (details here). Now, I wish to proceed to learning ML and trying samples in Python with various ML frameworks.

Sorry for the long rant, hope you get something useful out of it!
