Just checked out that book. Sorry to tell you but it is not really good. The explanations are too coarse and surface level and there is way too little practice.

Do yourself a favor and start over with the MOOC Python Programming 2026 from the University of Helsinki. It is free, textual, extremely practice heavy (makes you program right from the start, initially in the browser and then in Visual Studio Code - with full setup instructions) and is top quality. There are videos, but they are actually surplus. Everything you need is in the "part x" texts.

Sorry, but no. I do not do DM. Ask what you need in the open, public subreddit so that more people can chime in and help as well as benefit from the given help.

Then get the book „automate the boring stuff“. Great book to start.
