Hello Winiemko! HTML and CSS is pretty easy once you get the hang of it but don't worry you'll get the hang of it. If you are interested more in this I highly recommend buying a course from Udemy, I did a while back and it helped me a lot. If you ever need help with any coding etc gimmie a shout.

You tried youtube? They have good coding tutorials for other languages. Also out of interest. Why Python? :D

Oh yeah, I'm sure Youtube has several tutorials, but I'm looking for more interactive ones because I learn better if I'm given an assignment to complete. And Python because it seems like one of the more well-known useful ones. Plus I know a little bit of it already, I want to build on that though

Hi,
You should try some udemy courses. I've learnt more of them then any other sources. There easy to follow and fun. Udemy doesn't just do coding it does heaps of stuff from lifestyle to tech. There are some great free coding courses.
(This is not advertising I'm just telling you about my experience with udemy)

HTML and CSS are the basics once you get use you will find its actually more intresting after you look at the final product from your code. After learning HTML and CSS you should move to either JavaScript or PHP as it is the components of Web development.

Speaking of coding, I want to learn more python. Does anyone know any good free online courses? I've already tried codeacademy, is there any other besides that?
I learned Python off of Python's own website. Lot of reading, since there's no video, but it's a great adventure because you're pretty much exploring on your own. I suggest starting from there because they teach you in-depth about how certain things in Python work. Once you've gone over the basics they'll give you details of how you can branch out depending on what you wanna do with Python.

If you have a Microsoft account I think you can get access to it without having our account dev enabled but you sign in on the visual studio dev site and go to the benefits page and they will give you a code to get 6 months of free plural sight. Pluralsight is probably your best bet at learning coding, with Microsoft you get 6 months free then you pay but I'm sure you can get another account. They provide a range of not just coding courses but everything from architecture to IT. It's not free after 6 months but it's sure to kickstart you. They give you the option to take tests before you begin to see what your skill level with each language is and I surprised myself, it turns out I know a lot more HTML then I thought.
With coding it seems that it's easier to understand then write. After a while you will start to understand everything but it's another thing to write code.

Oh yeah I think I checked that out but it was kinda boring so I gave up haha. But I'll give it another go!
