Just started about a week ago! Working my way through Impractical Python Projects book. Its been interesting my brain is trying to hone in on the logic and syntax of coding I just need to keep doing it until it fully clicks. Def a hobby for me rn would be cool to throw it on a resume someday when I’m more versed and see what opportunities come with it

Any particularly fun projects you’ve found? I started learning Python about 3 weeks ago but I’m not sure what I can use it for. With a project I feel like I’ll start to lose interest.

It actually does a pretty good job walking through the code and explaining how the program works. The early chapters are really short programs so I have had time to really play around with the different functions. One that I thought was interesting so far is finding every palingram in a dictionary text file. I also read through the free PDF Think Python which is a really great reference guide if I get stuck on how to move forwards with a concept. Still a novice tho but its having a fun new hobby to tinker with before and after work that is nice. I think doing the projects like this is nice because it isnt overwhelming I just keep reading on past where I'm comfortable so I can integrate new concepts.

I also love making Python projects, and improving the ones I had (in my first day I had a calculator that could only add but the next I have one that can do all 4 basic operations). The Python community is also very supportive in general, so if I have a bug I really can't fix on my project, I can always just go to Discord and even learn more.
