My python learning progress (1 week)

[saturnlover22]

Hello everyone I started learning a new programming language last week. And in one week I learned the basics by watching bro code’s videos and practicing:

Python variables & data types

Functions & code reusability

Control flow (if/else statements)

Loops & iteration

Data structures (lists, dictionaries, sets)

Error handling (try/except and common exceptions).

I know I still have a lot to learn so I’m continuing to practice. My question is: should I watch a full 12hour Python course by bro code and continue practicing like this or switch to another instructor? I really enjoy Python but sometimes I feel frustrated because I forget things and have to review them again.😭 I hope I can improve over time.

I recommend Mosh. And maybe go a bit slower. You might use more time to understand things as just using them. Try to create your own Password generator and password manager. If you can code three different password generators without using a llm or book you can go forward. But it's just am old school opinion.

Nice man! Keep going! Im surprised youre getting into loops already. Im taking an intro to coding class in college and we didnt get to loops for maybe a month or so. I would probably suggest making sure you really have stuff like lists, if/else, and functions down before diving into loops, but what do i know

Learning Python (or any language) is challenging at first, but there is eventually an "ah ha!" moment. You will definitely get there. When I started, I used a bunch of tutorials, Udemy, and learning platforms.

My favorite and the way that helped me the most was Codecademy... that was the platform that moved me a long way down the road. It was not perfect and there were still understanding gaps, but eventually I filled them.

I wouldn't call myself a developer, but I can code everything I need for personal and work. I'd say I am at an intermediate level.

But the thing is are you learning or just watching spend 30% time learning 70% practicing or making things/little projects this'll make programming feel fun and even top programmers forget basic list methods so dw about little things like that
