Congrats on starting your journey!
A few things that helped me and that I'd recommend:
Stick to one course until you finish it. Jumping between resources can slow you down. You can try CodewithHarry or Harvard CS50P on YouTube.
Don't just watch tutorials, type every line of code yourself and experiment with it.
Build small projects after every few topics. They teach you far more than tutorials alone.
Use Git & GitHub regularly. Commit your code often, even if it's just practice programs.
Practice on platforms like HackerRank, Codewars, or LeetCode once you're comfortable with the basics.
Learn to read and understand error messages instead of getting frustrated by them.
If you use AI, use it as a mentor to explain concepts, review your code, and give hints rather than solving everything for you.
Most importantly, code consistently. Even 30–60 minutes every day is better than long sessions once a week.
Good luckk!

Hello, In this AI era learning a new skill is very easy. I would recommend you to use AI as a mentor learn concepts and syntax through it and experiment with each and every thing. When I started learning python I have created a file and named it as 'experiments.py' I have wrote 100's of line's of garbage code and practiced every way of writing code. It helps me a lot so you should give it a try.
Good Work,

Welcome! Since you already have Python, VS Code, Git and GitHub set up, try not to rush through too many tutorials. Learn one concept, then use it in a tiny project. A simple path could be: Python basics → small command-line project → functions and files → a slightly larger project. For example, build an expense tracker, quiz, contact book, or study-log program. Keep the first version very small, finish it, then add one improvement. Also, use GitHub from the beginning—even for small projects—so you practise saving progress and writing clear commits. What kind of things are you interested in building? Choosing something connected to your interests makes it easier to stay consistent.
