Oooh, thank you, @carback1, for sharing the introductory programming course!
I'll definitely check it out.
Python was the only contender when I was looking for a start point. I understand the very basics: open closed; IF THEN. That's about as elementary as you can get but I don't mind baby steps because if I thought about the sheer volume of text out there I would probably freak out. LOL
Glad to help—baby steps are asbolutely the way. A lot of people say the most important thing in programming is learning how to learn, but I think it's going from a high-level goal, and breaking that goal down into tiny, achievable chunks (or baby steps)!
Exactly! You can't read unless you know the alphabet first. :)
