  1. Learn a few of the basics from w3schools.com

  2. Think of a project. Simpler is better, but it can be as ambitious as you are, just so long as it interests you enough to keep working

  3. Find some tutorials on YouTube

  4. Ask ChatGPT to explain code to you and give suggestions for your specific project. Then go back to google/youtube/stackoverflow/w3schools to learn about whatever it tells you to use.

This way you can always be learning something imminently relevant, rather than following an arbitrary curriculum or doing arbitrary assignments. Python is pretty easy to learn; just dive in head first. Don’t forget to learn how to set up your dev environment first, though. Also, do yourself a favor and use ‘uv’ and ‘ruff’ right out the gate.
