I had tried to learn Pd several times since the late 90s but it finally clicked and i have been obsessed.
some of the things that have really helped me this time are YouTube tutorials...
Dr Andrew Brown's 65-part tutorial series is excellent for newbies, highly recommended..

following these left me with the knowledge, and something of a toolkit, to be able to get satisfying-enough results to keep me motivated and excited, and the gears turning

This is brilliant, thank you. It's been an age since I've used pure data and I'd love to get back in to it.

there is another channel, "cheeto moskeeto" , that has been helpful and is often recommended, but the tutorials are 12 years old and i believe he uses Pd-extended so alot has changed, but still worth a look... https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL12DC9A161D8DC5DC

also, the best resource I know of for interactive help is the forum at pd patch repo... https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/ the community is the largest I have found and the help is probably more helpful and less snarky than other routes.
