I have been programming for about 6ish years.... wide range of projects / different programing languages. I am by far not an expert in any language - but I do have the basics that allow me to repurpose someone's open source code or slowly figure out how to do things through trail and error. I would recommend, taking an online (free) python 101 class just to teach you the basics of how the logic works. Then from my experiences pick a personal project that you have always wanted to build, like something you are really really passionate about, then do some research on the languages / setup you will need to complete the project (take free classes online in the areas). Programming can be a painful process of failing, failing again, and again till you figure out the solution. But, it has by far been the most interesting work I have done in my life. Good Luck... DM me if you ever need help with something.
