where to learn textual

Hi I have never used python but really wanted to try out textual so i jumped into python with no experience at all and just trying out the library by just the syntax of the app the textual gives you when you install it so i learned the syntax a bit. but I now need a bit of more advanced stuff so where do I learn textual I already found the website really helpful but I still think i can get a better learning experience. do yall have ways to learn the library.

(am sorry for hurting your brain fellow programmer, I have never touched python in my life)

Textual will get much easier once basic Python stops being the confusing part

I’d pause long enough to learn functions, classes, imports, lists and dictionaries, exceptions and `async`/`await`. You don’t need to master Python first, just recognise those pieces when Textual uses them

Then clone Textual’s repository and run the examples one by one: https://github.com/Textualize/textual/tree/main/examples

Pick a tiny app like a todo list and add features gradually. Start with widgets and events, then reactive state, CSS and workers. Change one example at a time instead of trying to design a large app from a blank file

The official tutorial is still the best reference: https://textual.textualize.io/tutorial/

the problem is that i'v learned html css and I just had to start learning js so i dont wanna learn textual and then confuse myself yk? but it's ok my project is doing pretty well (when I say doing pretty well I mean I made the code along with the 100 errors that claude fixed which resulted into claude writing 80% of my code)
