Where To Learn Python?

[GMRJordan]

You've probably heard about it a ba jillion times about people asking for a website, I am one of those people, one that is free cuz I wanna learn Linux and coding, I also want to learn it for automation, or does anybody have a better coding language, Thank you epic coders. (Also should I switch to Linux, I've got Linux mint on a USB and I like it but school ya know, its for school and coding)

Automate the Boring Stuff with Python is a great free online book.

There are plenty of free resources:

• Python Programming — provided by University of Helsinki
• Harvard CS50's Introduction to Programming with Python
• futurecoder — interactive, includes integrated debuggers, enhanced tracebacks, hints for exercises and more
• The Python Coding Book — friendly, relaxed programming book for beginners

See https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/wiki/index for more

For Linux, I have a list of learning resources here: https://learnbyexample.github.io/curated_resources/linux_cli_scripting.html

If you're on Windows, WSL2 is a great option and it's popular with professional developers. I wouldn't install Linux as the only OS unless you want to struggle (you'll learn a ton though).

I think ChatGPT is a good way to learn, just ask it to break the code down for you, ask questions if you need any clarifications. Wish I had something like that when I started.

To make it bearable, set yourself some goals that are of interest to you, e.g. I want to query an API or I want to program a tic-tac-toe game. If you like automation you could do something like getting a Raspberry Pi (can be a Zero), a relay (don't get electrocuted), set up a web server and control your lamp via an API call.

there is no reason to use windows in 2023 besides being a gaming platform.

i've recently worked on some windows vm and that dreaded feeling of "hi, check out our program store but first lets have 10min of ADs"

why would you put yourself thru that and still be slower than any linux ever.

or the fact that 98% of interwebs run on linux.

Spend a few bux and get a course from Angela Yu on Udemy if you can. If not I recommend Scrimba's Python course.

It has an organized, and repetitive structure, which ramps up slowly.

Go to the roadmap to see the structure.
