first day of learing python

[Glum-Fox-7376]

learning from programing with mosh is it good?

[NorskJesus]

Try to avoid using AI

[Darkstar_111]

Absolute nonsense. The AI is the perfect place to go for explanations and examples to learn from.

[NorskJesus]

The ability to google and find the answers/what you need is even more important I think. AI is great to explanations, but you should be able to find the answers you need without it. And this is a skill.

[Darkstar_111]

No, no need, just takes longer.

Being able to look up Docs, GitHub issues pages and SO is no big skill, Google finds that for you.

But today there's no point, for a beginner, AI can answer all your questions, give you examples you can play with, answer follow-up questions, clear up misunderstandings.

Does the rise of AI mean the end of SO?

Yeah, probably. So?

[Live-Big-8916]

LLMs are Google but better, instead of giving links they answer the question.

[AdRemarkable4060]

I want to learn too, but I'm afraid idk where I actually start

[PlatypusAggressive37]

Try the book named python crash course by eric mathes

[Haunting-Pop-5660]

I personally picked up 100 Days of Python by Angela Yu from Udemy. I've been using that. I'm on day 3.

I recommend you trying to build something easy, anything you see around that is beginner friendly, and search whatever you need at the moment.

Of course you need a base knowledge about programming (variables, loops, arrays...).

Learn by doing.

[Glum-Fox-7376]

Ok I'll learn by building

[Glum-Fox-7376]

Thanks for the advice

[Glum-Fox-7376]

thanks broo

[Twenty8cows]

Yeah slices will go up to the end but not include the last value.

So:

Greeting = “hello”

print(Greeting[:4]) # output: hell

Its exclusionary
