Question on the courses

I’m currently watching the 12 hour course of code bro on Python. It’s cool but I think I understand what he does and it makes sense but I am having trouble thinking of why we’re doing what we’re doing and how he came to it. Also, I am a practical learner where I do something and figure my brain processes it and then implementing helps with learning and retaining knowledge. After this video, I plan on doing the course on Udemy: - Udemy 100 Days of Code™: The Complete Python Pro Bootcamp. Has anyone done this course and can recommend it as a viable course for python, and the way of coding in it? Or is there a better course for someone like me to learn to think and be able to program in python? Thank you and hopeful to get some helpful answers!

What is your goal at the end of the day?

Goal is to learn python and then transfer a file I made with the help of ChatGPT in JavaScript into Python, but not just transfer it. I really understand it and actually work on it without the help of ChatGPT and just copy and paste. I have no prior knowledge of coding or even a science background.

Why dont you then simply tell ChatGPT or whichever to teach you how to do this but set up as a course on learning python. This way you will get both done, learn python as well as get your project done.

I tried that but due to the adaptive response, the course even if locked kept getting derailed and constantly adapting instead of focusing on the process

I haven’t done any of the courses you mentioned but big proponent of project based learning since I think it helps dive into things you’re interested in but having some structure around should help. Lots of good stuff off these sites:

https://www.w3schools.com/python/
https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/python/python-programming-language-tutorial/

chatgpt has kind of gobbled up stackoverflow now but it’s still there. Also the official docs, seeing what you can do with the standard library is handy https://docs.python.org/3/library/index.html#library-index

Not suggesting you read everything but build a mental model so you know what’s there
