I apologize for the delayed response. I have been buried in my computer attempting to learn Python starting with the basics.
Full transparency here. I honestly chose Psychology because it was an easy path to a bachelors degree. Did not have any passion in regards to a degree in college as college in my honest opinion is a huge money grab for nothing in return. No real life appliance taught in college. I just happened to be a good test taker and passed all my courses with flying colors. My line of work consisted of a Data entry job at a start up for a lighting company. Since it was a start up, I managed many different aspects in the company. All the way from customer service, logistics, web site administration and even back end product development. Then once the company moved to Miami(and I with them), after two year I decided to move back home (NYC) and pursue a career in Real Estate as an agent. Doing very well till Covid hit and screwed the entire industry over. After some time, I realized that my entire family has history as very high level programming/software engineers. Example. My Uncle was a programmer for 20+ years working in co like Nasdaq, Duetchbank etc. Now he is a Architectual manager in a firm to over seas in Russia.
Point being. I have close relatives who can assist me with this field of work. Only issue is I started learning Python and after one day of learning, I forget everything I learned the previous day. Even as simple things as “what do loops do and what is a while/for loop”. When I start, or should I say TRY to code, I end up just staring at the screen having no idea on how to even start. Can not even remember how to form a correct variable. Frustrations obviously set in and mind starts to race. Forgot even the basics.
All I am asking is how to correctly pace yourself on learning how to code. I know game dev is a difficult field to be in, but learning just the basics will at least put me in a comfortable area where I can at least code a simple calculator without going back to a tutorial video.
Any advise?
