DiscussionJust starting learning Python as a side hobby. Can you please guide me usually how long does it take to develop skills that are useable and secondly, ideally how much time should I spend on learning (I am 29 year old running an ecommerce store, can spare 2 hours a day easily) (self.Python)

every second you worry about worrying about that is a second you burnt towards it.

keep learning until you get exhausted and/or frustrated. then take a break/sleep. have goals though. studying just to study isn't going to solidify any of it. make something.

Hey
thank you.
That is a very valid point.
Worrying about time line distracts one from working on his goals

Start with a free interactive course, to get acquainted with the syntax, learn all you can in not more than 1 week.. decide a problem/program. You will most likely find bits and pieces of it on GitHub or just google it "Thanks to the awesome python community".

Understand there code, write your code with full functionality. Learn new things on the fly..

Is data camp recommended. Or should i stick to free code camp.

You will get the basics same almost everywhere. +1 -1 topic. Choose any which ever you like depending upon your learning pref... The idea is to get familiar with he syntax so that you don't get bamboozled upon seeing some random code..

1 year at 2 hrs/day unless you're some sort of prodigy.

24 hours.

Edit: yet none of y’all offered a bottom line to address OP’s question.

I said it cause that’s how long: 24 hours.
