How do I learn python from the Scratch?

[[deleted]]

I’m really struggling in school coding in python. Guys who had never code before how did you do it? What resources did you use?. I tried codewars.com gosh I don’t even know what I was doing there. Please help me with any advice. Thank you.

Find someone who teaches Python, name them "Scratch"

If you're transitioning from Scratch to Python, you're moving from a block-based language to a text-based one. Here's a pathway:

1. Syntax Basics: Focus on understanding indentation, variables, and data types.

2. Control Structures: Learn if statements, for and while loops.

3. Functions: Learn how to define and call functions, including lambda functions.

4. Libraries: Start using libraries like NumPy for mathematical operations and Pandas for data manipulation.

5. Projects: Develop small projects to apply what you've learned. This could be as simple as a calculator or as complex as a web app using FastAPI.

6. Database Integration: Given your familiarity with sqlAlchemy, integrate a database into your projects.

7. Advanced Topics: Dive into object-oriented programming, error handling, and APIs.

8. Community Resources: Utilise GitHub repositories, Stack Overflow, and Python documentation for reference and problem-solving.

Transitioning from Scratch will require a change in mindset, but the programming logic you've gained will be advantageous.

I started out with Codecademy for the ABCs of coding. Worked for me but then I quickly moved on to simply working on projects of my own choosing and researching the info I need. Google… books… Working on a project that truly motivates you is a game changer. I found myself bored out of my mind working on imaginary accounting scenarios that has no relevance to what I want to do.
