This.
I developed a .Net web application for a company 20 years that is still going strong (better than ever and now with multiple developers). I didn’t know how to code back then but bought two good books and their concepts are the basis for almost everything in the app.
Now I am trying to learn Python/Django. I have tried doing the Udemy courses and going through building a “blog” and “real estate” apps. They are fine but boring and I lost interest. Then I remembered what I did 20 years ago and am now building a real product based on what I am learning in a couple of good books. It couldn’t be going better.
