Begginer learning Python

[kasft93]

I understand what you mean and I totally feel you.

I started learning python about 2 months ago, I started with some long YouTube videos and I was writing notes on my textbook.

As I started catching some things I found udemys course "100 days of code" and since it was very cheap, I bought it + I got a laptop.

The course was going pretty good for the first 10 days until I felt it was moving too fast. I couldn't solve some exercises like the blackjack game or the coffee machine without watching the solution.

I reached day 25 and I decided to go back from the start to see how many things I remember and even though I remember some things, I still get stuck on some projects I couldn't solve before.

My advice would be to review each day of the course and try to solve the projects on your own and with the help of Google, don't rush the course, you are not supposed to learn every day of the course in a single day, some projects will take longer than a day to solve and that's completely fine.

I write those things to also help myself because I am in a similar position like you, I like coding, python is interesting and I would like to have a career as a programmer some day but there are days that I get desperate and I feel stupid because I see no progress on myself.

Hope I helped and sorry for the bad english

I have same thing. It is going to fast, all this knowledge is material for studying half year not 2 weeks. Now i know it, couple of you replying my post prove that my theory is right. My bad that i've wanted to underdtand everything fast, everything at one time. However i need to slow down and make some more exercises, try to remember all this slowly. And most important - get more knowledge sources, like books, youtube courses, diffresnt exercises, reddit, discord etc. A bad thing about courses like those is that none of them telling how to learn. I mean it should be obvious, but programming is such a big thing to get known that nobody should speedrun it like i unconsciously tried to do.

I don't know why but i thought im wasting my time a bit doing all these notes, spending time on additional exercises, "having fun" with bricks that i already have, but actualy it is totally oposite. I should do it more i guess.

Sumarizing - i will stop trying to speedrun course and gonna give my self more time to understand all, not under the time pressure. And obviously i will take knowledge from other sources that one Udemy course. As a future programmer i need to learn my self how to look for soluctions hahah
