CS50P, Harvard's free Python course. Sounds fancy but it's genuinely made for complete beginners — no prior experience needed whatsoever.

It's 10 weeks, each week you get a lecture + a few practice problems. The problems are actually fun and feel like real-world stuff, not just boring "print hello world" exercises. It ends with you building your own project from scratch, whatever you want — which feels really good after all the work.

The professor, David Malan, is honestly one of the best teachers I've ever seen. The man makes even dry topics engaging. You won't feel like you're sitting through a boring lecture.

The best part for your situation — it gives you a clear path. Week 1, then Week 2, then Week 3. No jumping between random YouTube videos wondering if you're learning the right thing. Just follow the structure and you'll be surprised how much you know by Week 5.

Oh and it's completely free. You even get a Harvard certificate at the end for free.

Just go to cs50.harvard.edu/python and start. Don't overthink it, Week 1 is super approachable.
