All newbies/noobs should start with QBASIC. Python itself is hard when you venture deeper.

I think udemy has plenty of courses to help you get up and running, it just depends on how you plan your path.

I have no programming experience, just a burning desire to learn the real language of our universe grin wink
And I've already been scouting courses. Settled on three that seem to match my objectives. They are the highest rated in the three sections.(Swift, Python/PHP and one called 'The complete Web developer in 2018)
Oh, and I'm an Optometrist cheesy.
How you see am?

I'm a beginner too! I'm actually enrolled in that web developer course, I believe it is taught by Kalob tualen. When I say path, I mean what you plan on majoring on, say software development, data science, Iot, CEH etc.
For instance, I plan on being proficient in software development so my 'path' for this is;
learn web development and mobile app development too. You're an optometrist? Your own better o, me I be jambite.

We seem to have similar path goals.
When did you enrol for the course?
How're you finding it so far?
Software/Web development is my primary area of interest.





You're a jambite? Imagine where you'll be in 6 years of hard coding.
I wish I had come across software development when I left secondary school.
And I'm in my final year in Optometry school shaa(6th year), but I'm so close to being a doctor that I like to refer to myself as such wink

I haven't started the course yet, I'm taking a course on Cisco networking academy on introduction to linux. By the way, did you purchase the course? I didn't purchase mine, I got enrolled for free.

If you're a Facebook user, search "udemy coupon codes" without the quotes. Also, you can search on google too. I'm enrolled in over 10 courses, all for free. Furthermore, The tutor of the web developer course also runs a website that has tons of courses all for FREE. Arkmont.(I can't tell if it's.com or net) just google arkmont.

I'm still a fresh learner but I think I can help.
First things first, what do you want to do with programming? Web development? Mobile app development? Both?

It's pretty cool you wanna learn to programme smiley. One thing is for sure, you need practices!!!!HTML is a good place, to begin with. And with persistent learningundecided, you will excel smiley. You can begin with this Video blog post series at https://blog.atopwebtech.com/html-and-css-for-beginners/ which at the end of it, you will be able to build your first resume website from scratch. In the end, you can host it and use it has your portfolio during your journey in programming.

Just to correct an impression.
For the guy who said Python gets difficult as you progress, I think that statement is misleading.

All programming language follows same principle ie Logic connected by syntax so if you get it right from the scratch, you will always find it interesting. And yes it is possible to become so good in a short time with python.

And i think it necessary we point out also that programming is not limited to building web and apps... Creating prediction models and Co are also part of programming .

Infact complex machine learning algorithm can be carried out with ease using python, R etc ....
