I've recently started learning programming, primarily focusing on Python, but I've been having a tough time maintaining consistency. Some days I feel motivated and grasp the concepts easily, while other days I find it all confusing and overwhelming. Right now, I'm practicing basics like loops, functions, and simple projects like number guessing games and calculators. However, I feel like I forget things quickly if I don't practice every day. I'm looking for advice from anyone who's been in a similar situation.

It's perfectly normal to forget things, even experienced programmers do! Over time, you just get better at finding the info you need. A great way to reinforce what you learn is to stop relying on tutorials. Try adding a new feature to a project you've already made. That way, when you encounter challenges, you’ll really have to dig into the concepts, and they’ll stick better.
I'm in a similar boat—just a beginner myself! I took one Python class and enjoyed it, but I felt lost with some concepts even after the course was over. Now I’m diving into Java and JavaScript alongside Python. If you're looking for resources, I found W3Schools pretty helpful for free courses on various languages.
That sounds like solid advice! Focusing on projects seems like a practical approach.
