Why is it so easy to get through the tutorials, but so difficult to actually learn the content? I feel like I’ve learned nothing at all.

Because practice is the only and best way to become proficient at coding.

thanks rain, I’ll give it a shot. I’m still very new to coding, so I guess it will take some time for the brain fog to clear.

Essentially, you practice while learning. If you learn how to make a variable and print it on the screen, then do that but in a different way. Print a different line of text like "Praise for the lamps," or something. I'd say these tutorials are pretty solid for beginners. If you don't learn anything, then you aren't trying to absorb the information. Take some time to experiment with the code. They even have a "Try It Yourself" section usually at the bottom. From there, you can experiment with the code and see how it works. It's also common knowledge that most programs you will make won't work the first time. That's when you try new things to make one thing work. Good luck in your programming.
