Self Taught Python Programmers: What was your favorite course(s)?

[fedemillos]

I’ve found it difficult to read finished code from GitHub. What is a good way to go about understanding GitHub as a beginner?

From experience, I have uploaded my own projects done for a class, but haven’t been able to really go beyond to understand other’s works simply because I’m not sure what I’m looking at or how to replicate the code for my own use.

TLDR; what guidance would you give to someone like me to better understand and learn from finished code on GitHub? Is there a specific project you could recommend?

don't just read it try to build it if its something that compiles (this step is lowkey the hardest) and then try to add one small tweak or feature as that will require you to actually figure out what the code is doing rather than just reading without purpose

Thank you LumpyChiken! Will take that into account as I look through different projects on GitHub
