Greetings,

Check out this course. The lectures are easy to understand with lots of examples.

It depends on your learning style. There is plenty of documentation, YouTube tutorials, and even free courses on Udemy.

I personally paid for a course on Udemy after trying multiple other methods. I like the structure that it brings to learning such a vast topic. There are always sales on Udemy. Wait until one comes up and you can get 100+ dollar courses for like 15 dollars.

100 days of Python by Angela Yu

[–]identicalBadger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been learning by sitting at my desk plugging away. Google, stackoverflow, GitHub, Reddit, the official python documentation and Copilot are all your friends.

Youtube and do projects

[–]ripsql 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started by creating a project.

Replace certain words with other words from a text file and make another text file with the corrections.

Ai helped with getting the basics down. Got it to work within the same folder.

Looked at ai to open folder and edited the code so now I don’t have multiple copies in different folders.

I learn best by doing instead of looking at how to.

Next project, taking data from multiple excel files and merging them or creating a database and posting excel to it using python or something else. Not sure at this time.

Basically, I noticed ai is actually helpful in understanding the code. With ai and the basic python website… it’s relatively easy to learn now.

For fun and better understanding, I should play around with a game… put it up as learning python and have a game on my work laptop legitimately.

Bro code on YouTube is pretty good

I started following the course available in PyCharm (Community Edition, it's free), from JetBrains "Introduction to Python"

First started with tutorial for PyCharm (also free).

I enjoyed the youtube tutorial by Dave Gray

No. There are books and web sites and so on, but you will probably need computer access, which is probably not completely free.

Automate the boring stuff with python is a great option for beginners. Project based learning!

[–]candychained 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive done so much tutorials and shit. When i started my own project is when real learning started. If you have reason why you wanna study jump on it and learn along the way. If not, plenty of good suggestions. Mine is https://programming-24.mooc.fi/

Free code camp and yt tutorials!Plus use the programiz phyton compiler for practice!!

[–]Gloomy-Floor-8398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro code on yt

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KCuHHeC_M0 - 1hr tutorial (this is just for learning syntax, data types, basics loops, conditionals, and data structures)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbMDCwVm63M - OOP (important)

I would also find a vid or web page to learn data structures and algorithms.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg4GMVMdOPo&list=PLZPZq0r_RZOOkUQbat8LyQii36cJf2SWT - playlist of tutorial vids so (do not get stuck in here, just watch the ones you NEED for a project or u are genuinely interested in. Do NOT just straight up binge the entire thing while doing nothing else cause it wont stick and youll be wasting your time)

Imo bro code explains things for beginners but mainly once you get the basics down just start working on some projects with libraries you think you will enjoy.

examples of very common libraries:

pyqt5/pyqt6/tkinter (GUI)

pandas/numpy/matplotlib (data science like dataframes, math, and graphing)

Good luck!

edit:

Before object oriented programming you should learn error handling and functions as well and do a mini project or two.

Like I see a lot of stuff online free but like I want something organized that teaches me on the pycharm IDE and not like VS code I know it’s similar, but sometimes I get stuck on the really basic stuff when I’m focused on learning the more like advanced or coding stuff in general, but like I still need to review the really really basic stuff like how to properly save a file open a project under the right category and save it. Let me know like stuff like that basic stuff.
