freecodecamp python course isn't really teaching me anything
Just finished freecodecamp’s Python tutorial for beginners. And I’m not sure what to do next.

Hello!
I have no background in computer science, data analytic, or coding at all. I've always been interested in learning how to code. A few days ago I began going through the Scientific Computing with Python (Beta) course(?) on freecodecamp website. I finished the first module and I feel like I haven't really learned anything. I can follow the instructions and go through each module/project pretty quickly but at the end of the day it feels like I don't know what I'm actually doing. I'm just following directions without actually knowing what it does or what it means. maybe a lot of the tasks are common sense to someone who is a CS major but I am completely lost. Is there a website or course or book that teaches the fundamentals?
Like I’m trying to decide between working in smaller projects like number guess or and madlibs generator or going into problem solving with project Euler. I would like to improve my programming abilities. What advice would you give?
