Hi everyone, I am in my early 40s and a help desk technician and want to move up to play with the big boys so to speak. I have been working with computers my whole life but professionally since covid hit and i had to find a remote job. I can fix computers all day long but lets face it help desk doesnt pay enough to take care of my family as a single father. I learned that python is the best language to learn to move up. Over my life i have dabbled in VB, C++, HTML, CSS and a few others. I get the basics as many share the same things such as var, int, boolean… I started learning the basics so i can learn the syntax of python and can do them but all the videos and tutorials end and i have to go searching for the next step only to find another tutorial and they force you to start back at the beginning. I dont have much money to throw at learning so i stick to free. I found coddy which i love but your limited to so many executions a day unless you want to pay for a pro account. I do have a little ADHD and have been through some depression over the last year due to losing my wife but i really need to push forward and i feel hindered either due to me getting bored or not finding something that moves me beyond the dang basics to intermediate info along with projects i could create. I cant be the only one out there that gets a little bored and has ADHD/focusing issues while being stuck in this loop needing to move forward. Any help or suggestions would be great.
