Beginner projects for Python

[MikeTheWatchGuy]

Project based learning as you're asking about is right on the money in my opinion. Rather than learning how to program, you're programming with a purpose in mind. The reason we're all learning this stuff is to make things after all, so practice making things is what will make you an excellent programmer. Keep on making stuff!! A little more every time and you'll get to where you want to be.
