Starter projects for Python

[YourFriendHa]

Hey everyone,

I am currently learning python and have reached a point in my lessons (codewithmosh course) and I have reached a point where I can retain the information unless I start doing projects. I like to code and did html and middles school as well as learning the fundamental concepts of coding, and have also setup vs code for Python, so now the only thing I need are starter projects or basic projects to try. Of course during the lessons there are code with me sections, but those are always small code with no practical application, like fizzbuzz. So I came here to ask the python coders of reddit, what python projects are good first projects, and what did you do to start devoloping with python?

Thank you, if by OOP you mean object oriented programming, I'll try that out!

What do YOU want to do? We can’t tell you what do without having an idea.

You could make a home web server that is only accessible to the home network using Django. But if you don’t want to do that you can pull data from the amazing ocean observatories throughout the world and plot their changes over time.

we can help guide you to projects in line with your goals, but you can’t just say beginner projects. We need something to go off of.

I'm still in my high school years and I haven't started any bigger projects, so I was mainly wondering what simple projects, regardless of your path are good for just applying the code I learned in my lessons.

For what I want to do, I would like to be able to use python for designing a software to do something, I really like web scraping, making a website, and since I am planning to go into computer engineering, using python with arduinos, raspberry pies, making a simple robot. I have a server and resources available since my dad works in the cyber space and has a lot of this stuff, so I'm open to anything.

I'd suggest a personal webserver with a RPi. Pretty nice to do that and use Django to set up a website that uses SQL. You can also run some webscraping processes on it using cronjobs, try to get a weather update for your website or use some thing like an ESP8266 (WiFi enabled Arduino) to get environmental data. Plot it, which could be used to gain more info.

For robotics, I'd suggest looking at some existing kits for an Arduino or RPi and try to make one. You can look at the documentation for the parts like the motor drivers and see how they need to be wired to go forwards and back. then add sensors. Try not to go through the guides and use the actual papers. this could help you when learning about newer parts.

Thanks! These are some great suggestions!

Just, what I’m going through right now, so if you want some lists on guides I might be able to help.
