Is there any way a noob, who hasn't even taken a course in Measure Theory, can learn basic stochastic calculus?
I want to do a little project about it.
mhm.. Re-implement this Python code in your favorite language, then read about Brownian motion and clarify all terms for you that you don't understand

Yeah, plenty of textbooks that teach it in a non-measure-theoretic manner. You'll just need good knowledge of probability, and skills in calculus.

Interesting, thank you. I already read about the derivation of the stochastic DE:
[eqn] \mathrm{d} X_t = \mu X_t \mathrm{d} t + \sigma X_t \mathrm{d} B_t [/eqn]
I think I can program the thing from the link in MATLAB.

That's something I got. Do you have any specific recommendations?

Why not discrete Markov chains ? This is stuff you can actually study in-depth with very little measure theoretic background and that would give you some intuition for how Brownian motion works

SDEs got my interest for some reason, also we covered some Markov Chain theory and Brownian Motion in class.
The project is not for a grade, it's optional for people who did well in the probability course and want to expand a bit for an extra credit point. It's supposed to be something that's taken you around 25 hours to do.
yeah you can learn some of the results with an approxmating theory called the binomial model (in finance).
you wouldn't be able to do that much though.

Looks interesting, thanks.
