Start with Python Foundations with Turtle: commands, loops, variables, decisions and lists. Python functions and events follows: your own functions, modules and events, ending in a game you build in milestones. The console bridge then shows the same logic as text in and text out, and every extension starts from it: deeper Python in the console, web apps with Gradio (and machine learning after both), and games.
