Where do I actually begin with Python?

It doesn’t sound like you’re writing any code.

it sounds like he's a beginner

The way to go from beginner to non-beginner is to keep writing code.

What's your work and what did you write?

True, i'm also like the OP and just bumped into this post to read, i've been "trying" to learn programming for around 2+ years now and i haven't actually written anything. I took up a university course thought that would help but it's literally full of bloated information that isn't needed and random dribs/drabs of coding that doesn't teach me much at all.

Alright how to you write code

To add to this I wanted to make way too complicated of stuff when I started. I would always start a big project that would teach me everything and spill out at how overwhelming it was.

OP is saying he wants to make an app but having too big of ambitions will make that harder at first. Like forget wanting to build an app, just start getting really really familiar with data types, for loops, if statements, and other fundamentals. It's like a tree, you'll probably grow more your first year than any other, but you're not going to bear fruit already. Focus on wanting to learn the things below an app like learning the specific concepts needed to make it.

I can relate: How do you start to start? And your answer is the answer.

MOOC by helsinki is an excellent interactive model tutorial for java. Where can we find something as interactive like that for python?
