My experience with coding.

The main website I used to help me with coding was YouTube. One YouTube channel in particular, called 'Programming with Mosh'. He teaches primarily beginner level coding for Python and other languages such as JavaScript and Csharp.

One video he has on his channel 'Python for beginners - Learn Python in 1 Hour' helped a lot. He simplifies everything and has timestamps available to select from, for each section he is describing.

After using python for a few months now, my understanding of how to use it has significantly increased, compared to when I first saw a set of basic coding. For a beginner it did take me a while to fully understand what is happening but with proper explanations and continuous work I eventually caught on. 
Useful tips I recommend for python are using the built-in library functions and modules, prewritten by expert developers. This helps to speed up writing code as the functions are already accessible in the library. 

One difficulty I struggled with was remembering how to write out the code for certain functions, I overcame this difficulty by continuously asking for help from my tutor and classmates which eventually lead me to be able to remember how to write out the functions with no help then in turn, me helping others when they needed it. I would recommend this to any beginner coder who struggles to ask for help, as they may fall behind in learning if not doing so.
