Feeling lost

Hello, So I have been learning python for like a month now but most of the time it’s hard for me to even understand what am I doing and what is it even used for. I have like no experience in coding what so ever so I’m a complete beginner. I kinda wanna become a full stack web developer or make mobile or web apps. So I just wanna know do stuff get more understandable with time or what? I am using all kinda of resources to learn: Codecademy,udemy,udacity,learn python the hard way... Thanks for any advice

A month is not that long, so be patient. Keep programming constantly and consider small projects that put into practice the things you have been learning. If at any time you do not remember any keyword or structure, look it up in Google, and then go on doing exercises that involve it, that way you will reinforce what you have learned at the moment. Another recommendation is that you do not take big projects even if it's something you want. That can demotivate you in case of failure. It is much better to go for small things and master the basics so that you can handle much more complex things in the future knowing your tools.

CodeCademy is outdated in Python, just by the way.

Stay positive and diversify your learning. start building meaningful projects and things that might interest you. If you're targeting a full-stack developer career look into programs that guide you. Self learning can be tough to get results. I like to think of it as working out, we all can go to the gym and try to improve, but without a well developed plan being executed, you won't see much results. Sometimes, we need trainers to guide/motivate us novices as well. Maybe check out this course: https://www.udemy.com/JUMP_LINK__&&__python__&&__JUMP_LINK-and-django-full-stack-web-developer-bootcamp/
