start with python to do what? learning a language is not the same a s learning programming. Heck most languages can be learned in an hour or two. Programming is another beast altogether.
A person can learn to use a hammer in minutes, but it doesn't make them a carpenter.
Find a project you want to build, and start building it. solve problems, and learn along the way. Learning "python" on its own will not help you learn programming in any way. Programming stuff will.
I second this.
I started learning Google app script for work and while its not exactly traditional programming like most folks would do, i can now look at javascript and have a basic understanding of whats going on.
I learned a ot by doing. And with the help of ai, i was able to learn concepts, syntax, the best way to do this or that at least to a degree.
Just trying to make something is the best way. Make a tool to make your life easier. Like if you have a repetitive task that you dont want to do each time, make a script that does it for you.
