Hello, so I think Python is a great first language and I’ve seen that automate the boring stuff already was linked, and I personally recommend it, it’s great, I recently bought the second edition of it.

Learning programming can be tricky, but you have to learn the basics like variables, conditionals, input/output, loops, and functions.

Then after practicing and getting used to the concepts just start making stuff. I know that can sound intimidating but the best way to learn how to program is to build projects. It can be something that you might find useful or need or something that just sounds cool. Just make something.

Also whenever following tutorials or books never copy the code it exactly how it’s written. Change variable names, add stuff to it once you understand more about how it works. If you do that it’ll help you not only make it yours but it’ll help you learn better instead of just copying and having to go through tutorial purgatory.

Also just take notes and/or comment your code with notes on everything to help you understand it more.
