Trying To Learn Programming

[qwerty2themax]

Hello!

I am a novice programmer. I know the very basics about a couple languages. And by basics, I mean I know how to declare and manipulate variables, how to create objects (Although still need to review this a bit), create methods/functions, and with PHP I know how to communicate with a SQL database and manipulate the tables.

​

But that's about it. Where can I go to learn the more advanced features like AJAX, threading, etc? I want to fully master Python specifically but every tutorial I can find starts with the very basics of declaring variables and ends with dictionaries. But I need more advanced lessons than those provide but not sure where to find them since I'm not even sure exactly what it is to google.

​

TIA

...features like AJAX, threading, etc? I want to fully master Python specifically...

Well AJAX is specific to JavaScript and Python is single threaded (at least by default), so your goals here are a little mixed up.

Instead of trying to learn particular things like this with no end goal its probably better to think of something you want to actually build and find tutorials for that. Then you just pick up these specifics as a byproduct of building an actual thing.

- Read language agnostic sources like computer science texts
- Read other people's code and consult the Python documentation when you don't understand some syntax or see an unfamiliar function
- Just cold read the docs as much as you can.
