I am also surprised by the large, sometimes overwhelming, amount of information available - my problem is finding it and then sorting the wheat from the chaff 😊  I was first taught to program using a variant of Dartmouth Basic on a mainframe in 1976 as part of a postgraduate navigation course in the RAF.  I progressed through Algol, Fortran, Pascal, etc and earnt my living after I left the service with FoxPro.  I retired 15 years ago but earlier this year I bought a Raspberry Pi and an electronics kit which came with code in Python and C so I had to learn one of them.  I am now hooked on Python but seem to spend my time taking two steps forward then between one and three back!

I noticed that you once used FoxPro.  You might want to checkout Dabo 
(https://dabodev.com/). Dabo is python's answer to foxpro.  It works in 
general with python 3.x and wxPython 4.x but some items are not working 
correctly.  I have been working on moving to the latest wxPython 4.1.x.  
There are several branches on github (dabo3-4.1 is my branch).

git clone git at github.com:dabodev/dabo.git

Good luck,
Johnf
