If you ever consider learning to code and think about doing it with
Webmasters Europe - just don't!

It''s the worst way of learning. The didactic is a nightmare.

It's literally like:

Theory: "You need eggs, flour and milk to bake a cake."

Test: "Now you try: Bake a three-tier-wedding cake with angels and chocolate frosting"

Unfortunately, I've been programming in Python professionally for 25 years, and personally for 30, which makes me spectacularly out of date on how to learn Python from scratch today.

Back in the day, I frequently recommended people start with the basic tutorial included in the Python official documentation. It was well written and not too difficult for a beginner, even someone new to programming in any language. After that, you could go on to various books (I'm old...); the tutorial got you started, but didn't get you all the way to "design and implement my first useful program".

Others here can probably give better and more recent recommendations for online tutorials, YouTube video series, or even (gasp) books. Adding some tags...

Let’s say you want to help a 13 year old get started with #programming, ideally something to build small games or something else that’s visual.

What budget development environments are available? Something that could be run on a ln Android tablet or an old laptop.

Worthwhile to check out for best practices when developing & designing new software solutions! The writer explains,

> I discovered a lot of things happened in my thought processes that have come with experience. These are things that make software engineering easier, but that I know I wouldn’t have considered when I was less experienced.
