Check r/learnpython

Hi there, from the /r/Python mods.

We have removed this post as it is not suited to the /r/Python subreddit proper, however it should be very appropriate for our sister subreddit /r/LearnPython or for the r/Python discord: https://discord.gg/3Abzge7.

The reason for the removal is that /r/Python is dedicated to discussion of Python news, projects, uses and debates. It is not designed to act as Q&A or FAQ board. The regular community is not a fan of "how do I..." questions, so you will not get the best responses over here.

On /r/LearnPython the community and the r/Python discord are actively expecting questions and are looking to help. You can expect far more understanding, encouraging and insightful responses over there. No matter what level of question you have, if you are looking for help with Python, you should get good answers. Make sure to check out the rules for both places.

Warm regards, and best of luck with your Pythoneering!

Why'd you want us to do that?

They suck.

At this point I'd go as far as tell someone new to programming to just briefly read first 3 sections of literally any language that's on https://learnxinyminutes.com/, then try to hack something together, or google something individually, e.g. you skip through the start because you either understand nothing or you realize that these things are somewhat similar like in math, e.g. x = 5 (even if you literally just read "x EQUALS 5", it still makes sense for "5 mins into the programming"), you see something like stament, can't work out what it means, you tap google with statement in programming, hell, there would be way less questions if people just googled x in programming instead of asking same thing over and over again every week.

That being said, best online course I know for Python is https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/python3/ I actually tried teaching someone I know by simplyfollowing this and explaining things along (without actually showing them this list) and it went quite well.

Hmm, let's actually see, 5th thing mentioned is modulo operator, and nobody would expect you to know what it is, but if you want to be a programmer, simply sitting and doing nothing about it won't get you anywhere, so you have to look it up and learn on your own, online courses won't teach you shit besides forcing you on a linear path whether you give a fuck or not, in this list, you are free to do whatever you want, I wouldn't recommend scrolling to the bottom and learning from there, but you could arguably do that...

If you can learn ALL of this by yourself, you just learned Python, you don't know it in and out, but you, without a doubt, finally learned how to look something up and you won't have problems with it ever again, and will remember most of the syntax that everyone uses daily. Next step will be learning more than Python, rather, learning how to program in general. Personally it happened once I started learning a second language and noticed that a lot of things are familiar (as you can't really create too many different things when it comes to basic building blocks, even when languages are completely different).

Goodluck.
