Hi everyone! Im new here and also new to developing software and programming, and with new I mean 0 experience or schooling for it.

As Im currently studying medicine via internet and I use a computer on an average of about 8-9 hours a day, this has lead me to get very interested in programming. I got a link from a fellow Redditor and I got some questions before I dive into this project.

  1. Is this too much/hard for a beginner?
  2. Is Python™ programming language the way to go or would I be better off learning some other kind of language to begin with?
  3. What other ways of learning basic programming by myself is there? Are there any better ways for a complete beginner to start off?

Thank you for your time!
