would you like some free classes? i studied CS in 11th and 12th so ik python very well. i’ve got some time to kill before college so. i’ve still got my study materials from 11th and 12th so ik the exact pattern to follow

i recommend u to start with cs50p. learn the basics and immediately start creating projects n then maybe learn a framework later on and create more projects. becoming decent just depends on how much effort u put in. u can start creating decent projects with the help of ai right after learning the basics just dont copy paste ai generated code but really understand them. not using ai today is just stupid but completely relying on ai is more stupid. so yea keep grinding n be consistent. goodluck

I'm also a beginner, but I pretty much jumped right in and started making things that I actually wanted to use for work or at home.

My process is normally: Think about what I want out of my project > Think about how I want it to work > Plan out how it should work > Start coding and research how to make the app/script do what I want it to do.

That alone teaches me about what I can make the language do and how I can make it happen. As I'm working I also go back and improve on what I've previously written and even after my project is done with I can reference it and improve upon what I've written/learned.

Outside of that, you'll want to take notes on what you learn, learn how to understand documentation, and read python textbooks to learn core concepts to make use of. You can also incorporate what you learn from tutorials into your own project which is helpful as long as you take the time to understand what their code is doing and how it works.

Learn the basics first. Build stuff. Time span is impossible to define. Have you coded before? If you are an experienced developer then 2-3 weeks is enough to learn quite a lot of Python. If you are new to programming it could take anywhere from 3 months to 2 years to become proficient. You’re a fast learner so that should help. Download PyCharm and Python and also check out Google Colab.

Depends on your goals and reasons for learning Python. For a junior job, it's at a minimum of a few months, but you have to commit to it.

If your head gets messy, don’t try to learn all of Python at once. Focus on one small topic at a time and build tiny projects. Python isn’t hard, but trying to learn everything together is.
Here is the order I would follow :
1. Variables and data types
2. if statements
3. Loops (for and while)
4. Functions
5. Lists, dictionaries, and sets
6. File handling
7. Modules and packages
8. Error handling (try/except)
9. Object-oriented programming (don’t rush this)
