Hello! I'm almost done with my first year of college and I'd like to start teaching myself to code (I'm not interested in algorithms, but I'd like to learn something interesting and useful). I think I'd like to learn the python language. What would you suggest I do? Can you give me ideas for resources? (websites, books, reddit communities and more where I could learn as much as possible). I felt like I wasted my time this year and I don't want to do this again in the future. Thank you! (if you have other recommendations regarding programming languages, you can write to me).

Start with CS50 Python version, it’s free, lecture based with problems sets. You’ll learn the basic of Python (loops, conditionals, files, modules, etc)
https://cs50.harvard.edu/python/2022/
Then jump to Odin project

OP wants to learn Python. So, why do you then even suggest TOP?
TOP is web dev. Not everybody needs to learn web dev. OP didn't even mention a single word about web dev.

Read between the lines.
OP will eventually want to progress beyond simple CLI apps.
Web dev & guis are a natural progression to make anything useful.
Hardly anyone builds UI the old school way (TCl TK, QT, GTK).
Even regular CS50 has you go from C to HTML/JS.

Do you think it's better for me to sign up for the Harvard course on the platform or watch it on YouTube and solve the tasks on the site?
