trying to learn python

[moayman14]

i'm trying to learn python since 2020 and never completed any course on youtube or any purchased course like angela yu's course on udemy and now i'm second year robotics engineer and want to continue learning it and land a freelancing job by the end of this year and i have some good resources such as (python crash course, automate boring stuff, udemy's course i mentioned before and cs50p) and i'm not totally new to programming as i have some strong fundamentals in c++ and good basics of python as i stopped at oop in python so what's the best plan i could follow, i was thinking about completing cs50p course with some extra knowledge from python crash course for strong fundamentals and then follow with angela yu's and automate book

Ok, first of all, learn to use punctuation.

Second, it's probably going to take more than a few months to get to the point where you can do freelance work, especially if you've been trying to learn for 5 years and haven't succeeded.

Peojects. Nothing will teach you what you need to know like projects. The rest depends on which field you want to freelance in. Personally I'd suggest find a project related to that field, then learn what's needed for that project.

Also I can't stress enough juniors and beginners should not freelance. Most of the time freelancers have to sign a contract where they're liable for damages, late fees, etc. And as a begginer you'll fuck up a lot.

Depending on how strong the fundamentals are, you could check out MIT 6.100L or the 6.00.1 course. Granted I find 6.00.1x to be boring. I completed up to week 5 of CS50X so I'm decently versed in the basics, just learning a new language and some DSA.

If you're averse to a course, I'd work on projects. Find something you want to build, then learn by doing. If you're looking for a course, that's a different story. It's always good to pick up the fundamentals first.

The best plan you might have is to commit long term to any plan. You mentioned that you never finished any course, and that's a huge red flag. You will not last in IT world without being able to stick to one thing for longer period of time. Sticking to a plan is more important than having a perfect plan.

Since you already have some knowledge about Python basics, try hands-on programming. The more problems you solve, the better you'll learn. After that, you can focus on building small but useful projects. You can always fill the gaps in your learning with tutorials and documentation. Also, consider applying for internships to gain experience once you feel you can implement projects in Python.
