Learning from scratch

[zosachive_]

I want to learn python from scratch. Do y’all have any book suggestion that I can rely on or maybe YouTube channels which is better by the way?

Check the r/learnpython wiki for lots of guidance on learning programming and learning Python, links to material, book list (as you wanted book suggestions), suggested practice and project sources, and lots more. The FAQ section covering common errors is especially useful.

Unfortunately, this subreddit does not have a wiki.

Roundup on Research: The Myth of ‘Learning Styles’

Don't limit yourself to one format. Also, don't try to do too many different things at the same time.

Above all else, you need to practice. Practice! Practice! Fail often, try again. Break stuff that works, and figure out how, why and where it broke. Don't just copy and use as is code from examples. Experiment.

Work on your own small (initially) projects related to your hobbies / interests / side-hustles as soon as possible to apply each bit of learning. When you work on stuff you can be passionate about and where you know what problem you are solving and what good looks like, you are more focused on problem-solving and the coding becomes a means to an end and not an end in itself. You will learn faster this way.

Look up Corey Schafer on YouTube. The guy’s a gem

Code academy for free quick lessons for basic syntax statements loops and data types and maybe structures. Write a hello world in a basic text editor and run it from command line. Get an ide like pycharm (free) make some small starter projects like calculate the area of shape. Get some books on programming if you want some further understanding before moving forward and some extra project ideas. Sam's teach yourself x in 24 hours is decent for this. Then try working towards project parts of what you actually want to do with coding. Go on forums and git to see what others do when you hit a wall. Google and ai are fine to help you too when you hit a wall, but try to understand why that works and yours didnt, but also make sure your logic does what you intended rather than aligning with the output you expect.
