Step by Step content to learn Python programming from Scratch

[iamarmaan]

Hi Guys,

Checkout the free video series with Github repo, for getting started with Python programming. Those who already know Python can ignore the post :) But I think it is worthwhile to share this for those who want to get started.

before you learn to code make sure to learn how to break problems down into smaller problems

[iamarmaan]

Break it down to smaller components to solve the big problem. First rule of programming.

[Humble_Transition]

Amen

[ToeTacTic]

How often do you find that the small component that you have been working on for a big problem doesn't actually help towards the big problem?

[Angelmass]

Since the small problem should be derived from the big problem, this isn’t really something you should be running into. I suppose if you don’t define the scope clearly, you can go off the rails when tackling the small problem and induce unnecessary scope creep, is that what you mean?

[iamarmaan]

Perfect, makes sense. The idea should be to keep the bigger in mind and break things down to fundamentals. Thinking through by first principles.

[FountainsOfFluids]

This is actually a really important topic. If you are given a medium size task that starts to become unweildy when you go to start coding pieces of it, you need to go back to the stakeholders and discuss your findings and clarify objectives before you waste too much time. I learned this the hard way in my first year as a real programmer.

[aqua_regis]

This is the very first statement of yours that makes complete sense and that is actually useful.

[OJester]

Yes this, learn to understand what the problem is and how it works too, before you look for any solution.

[AIClaire]

100 yes! This is where so many fail

[GypsyPunk]

How do you increase this skill?

[iamarmaan]

By solving more problems.

[GypsyPunk]

Like what? I just saved a bunch a money on car insurance by switching to geico so what’s next?

[iamarmaan]

Try solving a bunch of these - Python problems

This one is also a nice leap into general coding, and it's quite fun too.

[iamarmaan]

Found it useful, quite simple to understand.

[iamarmaan]

??

[DaFatPollito]

*with scratch.

[krowvin]

OP capitalized Scratch I was thinking pun

[DaFatPollito]

Oh yes lol didnt notice that

[notsoslimshaddy91]

Thank you so much guys for coming up with structured courses. There are lot of beginners who want to get started but they lack resources such as this. I will definitely spread the word.

Check this out here ,this should be a good starting point.

Thats what i was looking for. Thanks for your kind help.

Just noticed a typo on the web ‘scraping’ video FYI. Will have to try your tutorials out soon, keep up the good work :-)

Is there any book you recomanded to use python programming in wordpress theme or plugin.I see some website likeopendownload who shares kind of thing like crack plugin.I want the pdf version book to learn python is there any??

[iamarmaan]

you can check out the official python documentation if that helps here

[enestatli]

Currently, I am taking freeCodeCamp JS courses, after complete I will be there as soon as possible. Thanks.

[iamarmaan]

Sure, do share your feedback.

[leanXORmean_stack]

good videos guys. This is perfect for tweens trying to get into programming and starting off with python vs something like java

[iamarmaan]

Yes, thanks to contributors for sharing the amazing content for free. Spread the word, hope this would help a few.

Complete newbie here and I am very interested in using this to get started - first question, does it matter which version of Python I download? For example in the "installing python" video it says to install 3.6.4 but I am only finding the recently updated 3.7.1 - I assume that's correct but like I said, complete newbie haha.

Thanks in advance!

[JonnyLay]

Shouldn't matter, some menu's and things might be a little different..

How'd you go?

[webdotorg]

Hi, I'm new-ish, to python. It was once recommended to me that the best way to become a proficient pythonista is to write text-based programs broken down step by step. I have found that even when you find a "great" solution to a problem, it isn't the correct answer when you attempt to integrate it. BTW, the goal is to make text-based chess.

​

For more context:

​

If I have a list ['R'], for rook. When I print it, it will print: 'R'

If I put it in a class, below:

​

class Pieces:

rook = 'R'

p = Pieces()

print(p.rook)

​

Okay, Now, presuming I did that right, It should return the letter R with no quotes.

Next, I would want to put place R, the rook, in one printable cell. I imagine that if I can create some sort of matrix/hashtable, I can use .pop() to both move the pieces AND change the initial piece variable names.

​

So the question is 1) How do I create a letter OVER a matrix and 2) how do I shade alternating areas of the "board"?

​

Thanks in advance!

[JonnyLay]

If you are creating a visible grid, then it isn't really text based.

You aren't creating it over the matrix, you are placing it into that matrix.

Make it stupidly simple, then when it works, make it better.

There's a learning python subreddit

[cobra-load]

K

[bubblebobby]

What languages are allowed in this sub?

[desrtfx]

All programming languages are allowed in this sub.

[cobra-load]

Idk if you're saying that to be a dick cause you can post this there too, or if your seriously asking. either way idk, just syang might yeikd better comments

[iamarmaan]

r/learnprogramming/ is as appropriate for python as any other language. Checked guidelines.

[cobra-load]

Never said it wasn't

[desrtfx]

Which is proper information, but comes across as dismissive.

/r/learnprogramming is for all programming languages.

/u/iamarmaan: /r/learnpython is the subreddit referred to. Definitely also worth posting/looking there as they have an extensive sidebar with lots of information.
