You need to know datatypes, operating, functions, object oriented programming, Dundee methods , basics of data science, and you should start practicing by doing some projects on your own

The only problem with tutorials, is that they spend so much time on “concepts” that they don’t truly “implement” them.

That will not be a problem at the initial phase because you need to understand the basic syntax and concepts of the language. Once you have understood the syntax and concepts, you can head on to do simple applications. This is where the comments from Max come in handy. Python allows you do do a multitude of things. Backend, frontend, ML, DS. So you will need to narrow down to what you want to do. Or you could do generic apps such as a To-Do app, Calendar, calculator etc just to get a feel of it.

with Javascript, I had a tough time learning it because it was all concepts, after concepts with concepts. but, I did find a tutorial that "used" what was taught, and really connected it for me.
Python already, is showing to click with me more than JS. Theres allot of syntax that seems the same, its the layout that's different.

"dundee" or is it "DUNDER"?

"dunder" = "double" + "under(score)"
