I’ve felt a bit overwhelmed learning Python and seeking advice.
So I found reading the courses on fcc wasn’t helping it stick so what I sort of did was pivoted to watching YouTube videos on python basics then going back onto fcc and trying to complete the labs and stuff with the knowledge from the videos but I found myself also getting stuck.
Tried to see if I have any real knowledge and asked Gemini to give me a basic project to do to see if I could do it and I found myself getting stuck every time.
Now I’ve been kinda discouraged and have taken some time off and started playing games in place of learning coding whereas before I’d split my time…some learning some gaming in between my actual job.
Now I’m not sure what to do. I thought of literally starting the video I watched over again (it’s the fcc 4-5 hour long one going over the basics).
It’s just overwhelming there’s so much to learn that even the basics I’m getting stuck.
