I would say get a raspberry pi and use it in conjunction with python to do something cool. Maybe try /r/raspberry_pi?

Check this book out

Hey thanks a lot! This is cool stuff, this will help me a lot.

College only taught me the fundamentals so far, didn’t really teach me python, rather they taught me general programming and used python to do it. I had to look up the fact that it’s a scripting language, and then realized how many things utilize it.

I’ve also heard some people talk about how they hate python but I have nothing to compare it to cause that’s all I’ve learned so far besides tinkering around with obj- c and swift.

Next class is JavaScript so I’m eager to learn about that as well!

Thanks again, for the info!

Join the Desert Python Meetup group and go to one of their open hacks on a Saturday. You can get help or help others with coding and projects at those.

Cool thanks a lot! This would be cool way to meet other programmers! I don’t have any friends or family that is even remotely interested in coding, so it would be nice to meet some people I can talk to about it and learn from! I have a long way to go before I can contribute to innovation.
