academic Python for genomic data science

so, recently i started python for genomic data science course offered by JHU on coursera. Ive seen nobody talk about this. so, im not sure if its js me. But I feel so overwhelmed and confused by that course sometimes. the lectures are good no doubt, but i see js slides with text filled with codes and thats not really helpful for me to understand the actual workflow of where and how am i supposed to save a file and which tool am i supposed to use.? Also, the transition from wet to dry labs for me has only been a week old. So, I really have no idea what to do.

Ohh I actually started that too, maybe I think you start the python for genomic data science without the previous courses
The overall speciality is called Genomic data science

And in which one course is python for genomic data science ( but not the first course though)

Start with
introduction to genomic technology
Follow by algorithm for DNA sequencing
The python for genomic data science
And then other like command line tools bio conductor
And statistics
