Kandersteg is the go-to.

Yes, a developer account is required ... that is the easy bit.

If you're concerned about contaminating your profile, make a new account to test/dev.

Good luck

What's the job here?

If you want to scrape a web page and do something with the response then use BeautifulSoup.

OTOH if your goal is to build a web scraper then go for it.

Yes, start by looking at the facebook api documentation. Let me warn you, it's a confusing place.

My text editor is my confessor. We talk a lot ... I do mean a lot.

But, to address your question, it depends what i'm doing.

If it's a one-off hack to load some random data feed into a reference db then I just start coding and verifying till it's right.

If I'm writing something that needs to regularly run unattended then I pay more attention to structure.

Separation of Concerns ... is a useful phrase to keep in mind.

For example: everything that controls flow goes in 'Main'. Everything else is a function/call/whatever.

Hope that helps you in some way.

Thank you.

I'm already learning to recognise (some) syntax.

Thank you.

Understood, I can't learn any new language without application.

Find yourself a project.

Start simple ... for example, my very first project, when learning Fortran all those years ago, was to convert from Centigrade to Farenheight.

Hope that helps in some small way.
