Who's got resources to learn how to build things on BSV? I have started learning Python and followed Unwriter. What should I read or watch?

I was thinking of getting a "For Dummies".
Python is a great language to start with - comforting syntax, a huge standard library, big community to help.
To build on BSV, first learn how to build. Basic data and control structures, execution flow, functions, classes, etc.
Then learn how all the pieces fit together. Algorithm challenges are a good way to start with this, or building small command line tools to do interesting things.
Most BSV apps are web-based, so once you're comfortable with the above, learn basic HTML/CSS/JS. Flask is a great Python web framework to run your back-end or power APIs if that's your jam.
Resources:
-py4e.com (Great for beginners, start here)
-freecodecamp.org (JS-based, but do the algo challenges in Python, they are superb)
-docs.moneybutton.com (Easiest entry into BSV app development by far)
-Corey Schafer on YT, wealth of Python info
Most important, persevere! There's a steep incline between learning the basics and building real-world applications.
Do not give up - get addicted to solving puzzles. Tread each bug as a new and exciting mystery.
Hope this helps. Good luck :D
Thanks so much for the advice, gato. Really clear and easy to follow. I'm happy to pay in the form of likes.
Thank you, happy to help! I tried and failed to become a programmer for many years & convinced myself I didn't have "the mind" for it.
That was nonsense. I just needed the right learning resources and commitment :)
I am excited to see what you create.
