I am a nudge over 40 and learning to discovers the joys of programming again. I am on the product side, have coded in the past around a decade ago (C++) as part of a rotation scheme at company and learnt BASIC in school. The thing that got me interested in this again was the excellent 'Automate the Boring Stuff with Python' https://automatetheboringstuff.com/ https://automatetheboringstuff.com/. This was my best lockdown read so far. I have used it automate some dumb stuff I have to do at work (moving mouse clicking). Get real-time custom alerts on my bank transactions and a develop an app that logs into a site, searches keywords, scrapes results and sends me an email each morning. Can't recommend the book highly enough.
