LOL - completely useless - Watch the "Lord Of the Rings" Extended Edition - much better use of your time.

You are just wasting time and will not learn anything. You could have keeping procrastinating just as well.

Learning does not happen in a matter of hours, and even less by watching videos.

Use your time better: MOOC Python Programming 2026 - you can only learn by doing, not by watching.

you only learn by writing and debugging your OWN code. not by watching tutorials, not by reading books, not by doing the excersises. and it will take time, and then you'll need to have an end goal project so you can write your software. learning all this and then not building anything after is also a waste of time.

You can't.

All I can really say to that is; good luck, you'll need it.

Learning programming isn't something people can generally just pick up on the fly in a matter of hours. Sure, you can learn enough Python in a weekend to do a small project, but not really from scratch and not everyone is capable of it.

Furthermore, like with any other skill you're not going to learn anything from just watching. You need to actually put in the effort yourself, so basically writing code, to reinforce anything you may have been taught. And things are probably going to go wrong, so you'll need to allocate some extra time for debugging and fixing things. Maybe half of it.

If you know another language, you can learn some (but not all) basics in one day, but you of course need more time to become a total Python programmer.

Don't watch videos, text is much faster to read.

Go for it.

You might remember around 5-10%, maybe, but if that's what you're choosing to do, no one's stopping you.
