      For    grown-ups            and     guides                                  
                                                                                  
                                                                                  
                                                                                  
                                                                                  
                                                                                  
      This is a short, hands-on introduction rather than a                        
      complete Python reference. A learner can finish it in                       
      7-14 days at about 45-75 minutes per day.

      should use invented personal information, avoid chat                        
      and sharing features, and ask before opening links. Let                     
      the learner type, predict, and debug. Helpful questions                     
      include: What did you expect? What changed? What is
