My recommendation would be to go down the web dev route to start because it's very easy to create things that you can share easily (everyone has a browser, but not everyone has python installed on their machine, or wants to open an executable). That can be a great motivator.
I still think App Academy's free bootcamp is one of the most comprehensive resources to go from zero to making small web apps. It's very hands-on and they have over 200hrs of material, discord community, and it was updated about a year ago. However, it can be quite daunting and you need to have good discipline to keep going.

Otherwise, as someone else mentioned, freecodeacademy is a good beginner resource.
