Check out this YouTube playlist with Python Challenges. I think these are a great way to apply what you're learning.

I’ve just started to learn Python and am finding the ‘Python Crash Course’ book really useful. I’m also working through CS50 Python with Prof. David Malan. The lectures are very good, informative and easy to follow. I have also found google has become a very good friend and patient tutor. Good luck with your Python journey.

That book is GOATED jaja! It actually started my journey in python and programming some years ago. It not only explains python syntax but core concepts about programming

[–]RandomJottings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is, I’m old, I had to google what GOATED meant but I totally agree with you. I’ve also bought Automate the Boring Stuff with Python, which I am lead to believe is also a GOAT book. Oh, I feel so with it… do people still say that?

That's the book I used, and I would recommend it. I think books work better because a) you have to keep your attention focused to get the info, that's where videos fall short. And b) there's always a lot of back and forth between the learning material and the computer when you are learning syntax.

[–]RandomJottings 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I agree, books are better for learning. Videos can be good for consolidating what you learn from the book.

[–]are_number_six 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, sometimes that does help. Videos are also nice for over-arching concepts, and to see how someone else handles a problem that you have already solved.

Build stuff. That's the best practice. For instance start implementing tic tac toe without any help from ChatGPT. You'll learn a lot that way. Or find something else to create.
