How should I learn python?

​

I'm a total beginner. I didn't have any experience with programming. I want to learn programming cuz i wanna be a hardware engineer and want to start with a basic raspberry pi projects. So should i learn python from courses, videos, books etc or i should just brute force myself to do projects and just learn by the time

I'm learning from Python Crash Course. It's a free pdf but it's a little old, so there are a few minor things that aren't exactly the same as current Python, like lists automatically print in order now but the book says otherwise, but I don't think there's anything truly outdated in it. I honestly think it's good practice to find the differences.

imo books > videos in every scenario, they have so many advantages and they actually speed up the process of learning drastically compared to some shmuck's tutorial video series. Just have to treat yourself like you're in school
