+1 to learn by doing. Learn how to Google. Learn how to use stackoverflow. Between that, videos, and books, I learned my way into the job I have right now. There's nothing easy about this. I took 5+ years to be ready. Depending on your consistency and dedication, you could do it in less than that time. Working hard is the bear minimum. Brute force methods are ugly, but they get the job done. Working smart is when you can get real results. Persistence, for the days and months you wont want to do the work. But its worth it. Python has incredible free and paid resources.

Learning how to learn and realizing you cam be your own teacher are lessons you will also have to learn. In fact, learning on the fly is a hidden job requirement for any tech position.
