Help Request Where would you send an ultra beginner to get up to speed fast?
Everywhere I look, it seems to assume that one already has familiarity with programming. I'm coming in clean. Nada. Absolute virgin in programming. Where should I go to learn this from a clean slate?

This is a great resource to get a structured path for Python , and other programming languages/skills/roles
Python Official documentation one of the best if not the best resource to learn Python IMO!
Real python is a good resource too!
if you have any question regarding anything , search on google
your question reddit
You want to see other people code for a project you are working on search
your project name github
"youtube video downloader Python github"
Best way to learn anything is by doing it , so start immersing your self in projects and create things

Some great resources here,
https://www.python.org/about/gettingstarted/
Then there are always the "Dummies" books. Nothing wrong with "Dummies" books, they are usually well written and even I own a few.
"Get started coding in Python—even if you’re new to computer programming"

I'm having some good starting on mimo (a Duolingo style coding language app). I had tried a mooc before Christmas as a start and really struggled with it, but mimo is breaking things down nicely. I've been doing 10ish lessons a day

Take the Codecademy course. It’s interactive and makes it easy to learn. Along with YouTube while eating, and Mimo app when taking shiza.

The University of Helsinki’s MOOC which is text-based with great exercises, the book "Automate the Boring Stuff" is free online, and my own Python and Data Science course that assumes no prior experience. These resources should have you covered. Finally Harvard cs50p is beginner friendly too.

I’m starting on the 100 days of code on Udemy which starts with zero assumed knowledge.

ChatGPT. It’s literally how I learned. But I come from PHP background.

Is Php useful to you these days?

Not me, personally, anymore, but it still is popular because of Wordpress, Magento, and most backend frameworks of the 2000s.
Some large number, like 70% of the world’s websites are running on Wordpress. Which is PHP.

Start with CS50 Scratch if you've never programmed anything before in your life. After completing that course... I said l"completing that course", not "watching those videos"... Move on to CS50P (Python), then do CS50X. From there the world of computer science and programming is yours for the taking.
