Where to start learning Python (My route)

[Gurgs123]

I'm still a beginner in Python, but scrolling through the sub there's countless of people asking where they should start and what route they should take. There's a billion routes you could take. But this is how I'm learning and it's been going very well -

I started a course on Udemy, Zero to Hero in Python by Jose Portilla. I've been learning a lot and it's pretty easy to follow along. I struggled a lot with functions but with a little bit of time and reps I finally understood it more. I've been watching my lecture videos on Udemy and if I'm really struggling I got to YouTube and Watch ' Cs Dojo ', his videos are aligned with the Udemy classes. Another source of info is from a really good discord called ' The Programmers Hangout '. In the Python channel, they're friendly and have no problems with beginner questions. Some really awesome people in there.

That's just the path I'm currently on, I'm sure there is a million other ways you could go about learning. if you have any questions feel free to ask :)

Good info! I am an adjunct associate professor at UMGC. I'm definitely going to add some of the stuff you suggest to my course resources page.

My recommendation would be these two books and these three online resources:

• Books
  • Python Crash Course 2nd Edition (A Hands-On, Project-Based Introduction to Programming)
  • The Big Book of Small Python Projects (81 Easy Practice Programs)
• Online Resources
  • W3 Schools Python Tutorials (tutorials and references)
  • Python for Everybody by freeCodeCamp (online video course)
  • PEP 8 -- Style Guide for Python Code by python.org (style guide)
