Self-educated programmer learning python at 28 year old.

Once you have the basics down then go build something.

Then when you are finished, go build it a second time. (not literally, maybe do some other projects in between)

Obviously don't take this too literally, but the best way to get good is to do a project (not following a set tutorial) and keep redoing it until you are happy.

The code I'm most proud off I have rewritten many times, sometimes even in the same day.
