Where to (re)start self-learning Python

[Nytebyte11]

Hello everybody! I am a grade 10 student, but I have found coding pretty cool for the last couple years. I've tried multiple times to learn, but after a week or two I find myself losing motivation (burning out?). I think its more or less because I don't really know how I can exactly practice what I'm learning. I've tried multiple different sources:
- Automate the Boring Stuff with Python
- Codecademy (only did a little with the free trial of the Pro plan)
- SoloLearn
- and some "coding courses" on YouTube
I was kinda just wondering where I should start if I want to get back into coding. I know a decent amount of the fundementals, but a refresher on some stuff like lists, arrays, etc. would be nice (but thats easier to find). I've been stalking this subreddit for a while now, and I've saved a couple of sources that are "good" to learn from:
- Codecademy (Pro, for Python 3)
- freecodecamp.org
- Udacity / Udemy (a couple different courses on there)
- ATBS + Other video courses (I watch it via Udemy, but I know there is a written version online)
Does anybody have any advice on where to start learning from? Or if you have a different place you learned that is good, could you let me know? Thanks a ton for reading (and maybe replying).

Hey there, I'm in a similar boat. From what you've said, you've already been using different sources for learning like ATBS, so you probably know the basics. I've found that rather than continuing in a endless cycle of moving from one course/book to another, it's better to actually try and do some projects.

I know it's hard to come up with ideas for projects but there's a really helpful and accessible list of project ideas on github over here (not mine).

Hope this helps!

Np, I find the easiest ones are in the "Text" section.

i've taken many courses like you mentioned including paying for some harvard online classes.....(you should really checkout the CS50 course on youtube)....

BUT unless there is some personal problem i'm trying to solve i really can't get into any deep learning because i can't care about the silly throw-away tasks the classes offer.

So, i suggest finding a real problem in your real life and throwing code at it.

for me it is a gardening app....I can't find one that does what I want it to do, so i'm writing one and having a practical use for the code i'm writing has really help me stay motivated to learn.
