I think I’m in the same boat as you.

I know enough to be dangerous. That is, I’ve started many tutorials, and know enough to debug the software I deal with at work (I’m an escalations engineer), but I struggle with advancing towards comfortably writing my own code.

So this particular style of teaching (talking about Parent’s comment) really appeals to me. For example, I totally see why “How To Learn Python the Hard Way” is recommended, but building up from math operations just doesn’t work for me. I understand why it works for certain people, but it’s too abstract for me.

Parent’s app, however, shows an example, and then explains plainly what each part does. This style of explaining moves me closer towards the “Learn Python the Hard Way” method.
