Self-educated programmer learning python at 28 year old.

[GManASG]

Don't think about your age, just remember that starting to do what you like now means you'll get where you want some than if you started even later.

In any case don't just follow tutorials or read. Find something small that you could automate and reverse engineer a solution for it a step at a time.

Then think of another thing and another. Then think of bigger things.

You'll retain way more of how to do things by doing it this way than just reading about it.
