What would you suggest me?
What courses, books, video you recommend to learn python.
Python is also a language that professional programmers can stand to use (and even like), so it is possible you can collaborate on a cross-functional team, scale up without having to do a total rewrite, etc.
Don't let the title put you off, it's very accessible and you'll learn a lot.
I'd feel comfortable recommending Python to a beginner who was committed to learning. I found the book Automate the Boring Stuff With Python very good from that perspective. It takes advantage of Python's "batteries included" nature to teach you the basics and solve some real workaday problems. https://automatetheboringstuff.com/

I agree with the recommendation. Automate the Boring Stuff is a great premise and a decent execution. But I'm really concerned by the OP's comment about not knowing math. As in, how much math don't you know? You don't need to be able to solve ODEs or multiply matrices to write Python, or in general unless your field of endeavor calls for it. But I've found that people who have a hard time with basic algebra have a ha…

Would you mind giving some examples of how not knowing about transcendental functions and conic sections would make someone have a hard time with life?
