hey everyone. i am 40 years old, worked in a completely different field that had nothing to do with programming. due to suddenly becoming an unplanned dad and other circumstances like my field of work being paid shit and the whole thing just being unstable (as usual, everything happens at the same time), i took the decision to start something new, more stable and safe for the future as well as something i can see myself enjoying.
i always had some interest in programming but never actually started anything myself. learned html and some java at school about 25 years ago but didnt stick to it.
in a couple of months i will start a full time education on programming after quitting my job and position and be a beginner with python as there is huge demand.
started with python tutorials about a week ago at home after work because i want to prepare myself and i am enyoing it a lot. but after so many years in different professions i feel kinda dumb. which is probably something every beginner goes through, i’m aware of that.
i am fine following the tutorials, finding solutions to simple problems myself, thats not the issue. but after a couple of days i realized a massive lack of understanding the basic terminology in python and programming in general probably. so i dont feel comfortable continuing before i dont actually understand the basics behind everything.
i am interested if you can give me some tips for tutorials. and by tutorials i mean the pure basics. not even the programming itself because i found a lot of that out there. more the terminology. i kind of want to approach it almost from a child perspective, everything explained plain and simple. and i include even the most basic things that are obvious like back end, framework, algorithm, syntax, machine learning and so on. a simplistic explanation to all.
am very grateful for any kind of advice, websites, videos etc.
thank you very much in advance.
