Hi.
I’d appreciate a little patience, since I’m still a beginner.
I started >really< trying to learn Python two days ago, and so far I only know how to use the print command...
I don’t feel like I’m really learning, I wonder if it’s that hard to understand basic computer science concepts. Until yesterday, I didn’t even know the difference between the terminal and the Windows Command Prompt, and even so, it was really hard to fully understand some things.
Anyway, I got way off track. that was almost like a story.
Overall, I’m looking to learn how to build websites and how to write a checker script to look for logins on sites.
But I just don’t know where to start. I don’t know how or where to study, I don’t know which language is best for beginners, and I don’t know where I can find courses or instructional videos. I’m just lost.
btw if you know how to build an checker script i really would like a tutorial

the concepts are within lexica.
soykaf has it, you need to know the lexica of said language to get ideas down.
math is great, so is physics. programming languages like python ith xxx libraries and thus xxx documentations to read are soykaf.
if you know math, your fine. you can atleast verbalize your ideas in such way. py and the rest is just a retarded way to do so.

you're trying to fight a level 200 boss with level 1 weapons. it's certainly possible to learn how to make a website without learning how to program, but if your goal isn't merely that but instead to actually learn programming, then you're going about it the wrong way.

what does that mean. what's a checker script.
if you want to learn imperative programming start with fizzbuzz and work from there. python is fine, don't listen to the other retards, every language they would otherwise suggest you is C with automatic memory management, i.e., exactly the same.

If you want to go with Python, read the book related. It's project approach to learning the language. There's nothing more to it. Some people learn doing and following a source code/docs, others learn reading a book. Try a book!

...the book was not uploaded at all. Anyway it's called "Python Crash Course".

i would begin with javascript, since it's easy and you want to build websites. check this out: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn_web_development/Getting_started
as soon as you have an idea how the thing you want to build might work, just jump into making it. query google as needed if you don't know how to proceed further with your idea. if the response you have been provided contains something you don't understand, query further. break the query into concepts that are unknown to you and query them until the information is fully understandable to you. avoid AI since it will try to do too much work for you.
to build the checker script you need a conditional statement, if...else statement. it will let you execute code responsible for login if the password provided on a website matches the password in a database. and it will let you execute the code responsible for whatever happens if the password does not match. you will meet conditional statements pretty soon in programming tutorial of any language.
