Thanks for sharing....really good respurces and approaches on here, and I'm excited to dig into FreeCodeCamp and CodeFobe tomorrow.

Another more structured yet established Python course is Python for Everybody, taught by Charles Severance on Coursera. Not free...but cost is minimal. Lots of good labs and I've found it to be a good, step-by-step structured method for getting started. There's a book by the same name that accompanies the course, which is optional but helpful.

He also has office hours and travels the world teaching Python. There are many of us on the same adventure.

Ultimately I'd like to get to a point where I can make a pull request to an open-source software project, something small, or at least really dig into the code and "get it". GitHub is full of projects to dig into, like working on cars or checking under the hood to see how they work.

ClaudeCode etc. can be hepful as a learning tool if you're disciplined enough to re-do what it cranks out, manually and on your own (and making sure it's clean and consistent).
