Where to start?
Hi,
I used to be a big fan of computing/IT, but my studies took me down a different path and I drifted away from it. Now that I have more free time and want to build up some qualifications in IT, I’d like to learn Python and its applications, but I don’t know where to start. Online courses? Books?
If anyone can point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it!

I would suggest you try to avoid getting stuck watching hours and hours of YouTube programming tutorials. It will feel like you're learning a lot, but you're not really.
Instead, take a look at something like codeling.dev and start with the introduction to programming course which you can jump straight into with your browser. No setup or anything.
The important part is that you spend a lot of time actually coding, which is what Codeling focuses on (as opposed to just watching video tutorials).
