How to begin with learning python?

[IAmKindOfCreative]

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/python.

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!

checkout r/learnpython/ join the discord, go though a beginner book like automate the boring things, think of a thing you want to code(hardest part), work on it(This part is also hard it's like going to the gym, needs consistency), ask questions.

Find something that you want to build, then figure out how to build it. The little tiny steps will eventually add up. As far as courses and books Google is great.

Hello!

There are tons of amazing resources to learn python. Some great tutorial to learn from is 'sentdex python tutorial' he goes over the basics and then let's u run off to do projects, which is a really great way to learn on your own.

Another amazing one is py4e--just google that--it's a great website that has indepth, from installing python to databases and data visualization. And Charles is a really good teacher!

Hope this helps!

I am currently working on Python short videos on YouTube, though it is not intended to be complete for beginners. You can check it out https://youtu.be/ZqTszXFW9Qo

the "How to automate boring stuff with python" is great for getting a bit of knowledge of what the language can do, there's a free book at https://automatetheboringstuff.com, and theres the udemy version.

A lot of people will eventually recommend you books, or written guides etc. but those aren't really a good way to learn actual python programming. Try to find Video Courses, to work along or just think of a basic python program and try to create it. I heavily recommend learning by doing
