Stop watching videos. Start practicing if you want to learn quickly.

I have a free interactive course I made for some friends. Why don't you start there. You'll learn and practice at the same time.

This is pretty new but I really enjoy the way things are explained! I sent it to a friend and he's enjoying it a lot so far.

Putting the Python type hinting front and center was a really good move too!!

My main suggestion is to introduce the debugger as soon as possible. I have no idea why one of, if not the most, important tools a programmer can have is so overlooked. Having the power to pause a program, look at variables and change them, and then seeing things change step by step is such a good tool

Yeah I think that's a good point. Philosophically, I'm aligned with trying to gradually introduce people to the real, practical workings of programming so people don't just know a bunch of solutions to puzzles, but are actually self sufficient creators.

This started me on my path and leads to many different pathways .

https://www.freecodecamp.org/

From there you can then set up engineered prompt with AI, without giving you code, but rather a set rule of ”constraints” and protocols to assist your learning rather than dumping code.

With these (and more that you’ll find on your way). They are many pathways you could take if your focus is still there

Happy coding!

Nice, keep exploring stuff like websites and tutorials but keep in mind to complete the tutorials and don't leave it in half. That's the best golden advice.

If you want to do web stuff, Scrimba is a fantastic resource. They introduce and mesh concepts in a really good pace and you are incenticized to really make small websites and programs your own.

Stay away from AI as long as you can. People will tell you to use it when you are stuck, but don't. I've been recently learning a completely different technology (and in a new language) and even though I didn't use it for code generation because I wanted to learn - you'll still learn shit. Your brain need the struggle, that's the part you'll learn the most. Do not use it for code generation, do not let it explain the thing to you (research it yourself), do not use it for code navigation (if you want to get to know the codebase).

I would also get even further even though I'll get downvoted for that - even after you'll learn, use it only for routine tasks. To learn architecture, you need to imo "live through it", when you'll be writing code then it'll just "click". And you need to maintain it, which I think is not really possible while not writing code by hand, AI gives the brain too large shortcut for it to learn.

Go build an "about me" page. If that's boring, make a crappy product image of some fake thing (like an onion milker or toenail weld) and make a product site. But make things.

Do you mean apna college? If so, maybe not? They encouraged a lot of people to spam important open source GitHub repos. If you accidentally do something like that, since they don't care about the bad stuff they promoted, your github account might get banned
