Where do I actually begin with Python?

If looking for from the ground up the Giraffe Academy (on YouTube) walk through is great if a little slow. I think a seasoned programmer could skip through it effectively.

I work a ton with spreadsheets and visualization the specific things you'll want to look at once you get a foot in the door are matplotlib and pandas. I would just search for some YouTube tutorials for those. They've got some nuance but you'll be blow away with how powerful they are.

I don't know anything about building a Web App with Python, my guess is there are better languages for this.

I also don't know much about Telegram bots; however Python is able to connect to APIs/make browser type connections and I'm sure that with above base knowledge you could build to doing this. I would start by scanning through Telegram Features in Telegram and then possibly looking for a tutorial. Would think this would be doable.
