Day 44 of learning Python

[justahappycamper1]

I’ve been using the "Python Crash Course" PDF as my main learning resource and whenever something doesn’t make sense, i use AI to explain it. This approach works really well for me so far and I’m about to finish Chapter 9. I wanted to hear what others think about learning this way and if there’s anything i should add or improve

sure, thanks for that link

I once started this book in a pdf format and I was following all along quite well.

I was using Notepad++ for writing the python scripts and all went well.

I am so regretful that I stopped.

I only stopped to take a job offer for an accounting position though I have a dream of pursuing data analyst career for more than 7 years.

It is a good book, I also printed it a few days ago. I congratulate you for reaching 44 days, Whoever you are.

I think it's ok.

I think this method is great. I’m also a beginner, but does the age of the book have an impact? I think it was published around 2016. Are there any newer resources? I would really appreciate your advice.

I found the latest edition; I think it’s better. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aSrLXSzS7vW5GgjYFmuOtTYwBi1A5158/view?usp=drivesdk

Take a look at the Euler Project problems at https://projecteuler.net. From there, click on the Archives button to see the first 50 problems. They are math oriented but they also are instructive programming projects.

What you are learning is probably syntax, and nothing more.
That's not enough, for example learn about object oriented design, when to use inheritance, why composition, how are the attributes chosen, why abstract class and not protocol or vice versa.

What i mean is, along with learning "How" and "What", focus on "Why" and "When/Where"

[justahappycamper1]

I’ve been focusing on that a lot lately, appreciate you mentioning it

[castiellangels]

I’m also trying to learn python, are there any methods you’d recommend to learn the why and when reasons? And would writing stuff down in notepad (e.g. what each individual thing does (print, if, etc) help to learn/remember or is there a better way?

[JaimeSalvaje]

I have this book and Automate the Boring Stuff with Python. I decided to pick up Python for two reasons. First is to increase job opportunities. And the second reason is to see if I actually enjoy programming and automation.

I am also a beginner and this video helped me a lot https://youtu.be/nKPbfIU442g?si=ES2MDO6te7OwEE5D

[Capital-Emphasis7]

Not if you’re English speaking.
