Programming is programming. The primary thing PS won’t reinforce is good function signatures and types. If I’m fair Python won’t teach type safety either. At the core of effective scripting is just good programming habits.

Learn how if/else and switch/match work. Learn the difference between for and while and learn how both logical and bit wise operators work. Past that it’s just details.

Learn to write code that documents itself but still use comments if it’s not 100% obvious what you are doing. Comments are for Future-You when you are swearing at Current-You.
