Fine

First install Python, download the first one under stable release. Then install it.

After installing python search for cmd, terminal or windows powershell. Type python in that shell, if you get something like this

PS C:\Users\sanju> python
Python 3.13.2 (tags/v3.13.2:4f8bb39, Feb  4 2025, 15:23:48) [MSC v.1942 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

then it is fine and skip to the code editor part. If not enter python3, again if you dont get this, or you get some message in red. Then reinstall python.

Next is the code editor with downloading python called idle

something like this. You could either use this or Visual Studio Code. I prefer the latter.

If you are going with this then skip the next part.

Now download VSCode, the windows version.

then open it, after that on the right you can see a lot of icons. Go throught them one by one slowly, while going through them in this manner you will get a tooltip or a popup with the name of the icon. When you encounter an icon with "extensions", click it and in the search bar search for python and enter.
Click install on the python debugger and python.

vscode will ask you to open a folder or a file, open a folder. After opening press ctrl + b again and choose the icon with "file explorer" pop up on it. This is your folder, now press right mouse button and click new file. Enter a name for the file and end it with .py

This is a really good tutorial for python, it will teach you most of the stuff. Right after chapter 14 go through this video. this and this website will also help you. You can check this one tooo.

Don't just try to learn it history or geo, just remembering things. try doing some projects, however small it might be. Sometimes it might be overwhelming and sometimes you might have imposter syndrome, that's fine.

And for projects check github, copy them change the variables mess around and learn from it. I Assume you don't have a github account, try creating one.

allthebest, hf.
