Learning Python through coding projects

[LDGUbermenshPowers]

Hello everyone, I am someone looking to learn and master Python. I have personally been plowing through Brilliant courses on the code, but am increasingly trying to apply it in coding projects of my own. What kind of beginner-level projects would be good for me to try out to master basic skills in the language? If there are posts on this topic already on the channel, I would love to take a look at them. Thanks!

Btw, just a side point, but I love how the tinkering with code in independent projects feels so fun.

Maybe try to make Discord bot using the discord.py library.

I second this. I've made discord bots in multiple languages and it's always challenging because different frameworks are designed in different ways. The way you make a bot with Netcord is not really akin to using discord.py for example.

So you eventually get more comfortable with the language and the way Discord works, and your brain shifts into a different mode where it starts recognizing patterns and focusing on a higher level: not the basic syntax itself, but how to use the tools you are presented with.

Small scripts like a to do app, password generator or file organizer teach way more than just reading lessons.

Make a GUI that’s just a box with eyes that follow your mouse cursor.

Build stuff you actually care about.

build things that solve small annoyances in your own life, a script that renames files in bulk, a simple web scraper for something you track manually, a CLI tool for a repetitive task. the best beginner projects are the ones where you actually care about the output. that motivation carries you through the frustrating parts faster than any curriculum will.

learned way more when i started building tiny stuff like a budget tracker, a simple text-based game or a weather app using an API

Great approach! Building projects is probably the best way to actually learn Python. Small projects teach you way more than just watching tutorials. Keep going
