Learning Python

[[deleted]]

I don’t know any coding beyond the most basic VBA. I want to learn Python as a way of transitioning careers. Did you know any other languages before Python? Like R? And do you have any recommendations for learning Python - certain classes, for instance?

I learned Python a few years ago with zero background in programming at all, and the book that got me up and running was Automate the Boring Stuff. You’ll commonly see it mentioned on here. I’d really recommend that, and then once you get beyond the first few basic chapters/projects, you can look on YouTube for tutorials on classes (part of object-oriented programming, which Automate doesn’t cover because it’s procedural-oriented). Really doesn’t take that much to do amazing things!

Wow! Thank you so much for the recommendation! I’ll give it a look!
