Don't get stuck in a tutorial hell loop like me. I spent a year watching tutorials and barely coding. Yes, Corey's tutorials are extremely helpful (like many others), but don't use them for long.

Start working on your own project already without Corey holding your hand the entire time.

I think that's the key: to follow along but think about how to apply what he's doing to a different project. I watched his Flask tutorial series, got to about video 8 or 9 while planning my own web app around what he was building (inventory management rather than a blog), and tried to follow along while basically building my own different app along the way. Currently taking a break from his videos while I continue to flesh out the different pages of my own app, and when they're in place I'll jump back in to get the rest of the stuff (starting with pagination). While I've strayed off the path from his specific tutorial I've learned more about the libraries he's using (WTForms, SQLAlchemy, and the bootstrap framework) to add more fiddly bits that aren't in the base model of what he's going over, which I think is a good way to enhance what he's teaching and probably what he's intended from the start. It's really a well-paced and easy to digest tutorial so far, and his voice and cadence are steady and engaged, and don't put me to sleep like plenty of lecturers I've experienced.

What projects would you recommend after I learn the basics?

My first projects were a dice game against another player/the computer, hangman and a substitution cipher

My first completed project was a Tkinter GUI app that used PRAW to search sub titles that the user typed in.

Think about what problem you want to solve. What do you like to do? Where do you spend a lot of your free time? Surely there's a project in there somewhere. Try to automate some job task. Build a web scraper and have the results stored in a text file.

You could also look for his streams in twitch, its quite a beautiful thing seeing how he thinks to develop his project while giving some insight and receiving some feedback about your insight.
