[Cheese Effect]

I'm new to programming basically.  Well I learned some stupid Basic stuff
years ago as a young teenager, but don't remember much and I've heard that
not remembering is a good thing.

Does anyone have any good advice as to how to get into the right mindset to
start playing around with code.  I've also read that Python is good code
because it is powerful, clean, but simple.

I do know HTML and network stuff.
