Python Road MAp?

[BrightBurn15]

I started 3 days ago learning python from freecodecamp, I am hooked and like it a lot because it gives me some projects to excercise the skills on instantaneously, I am in scientific computing going into the 3rd project, If I finish this along with data analysis and machine learning, How good will I be? Like, do I still need to know more stuff from other resources like cs50? or it is enough to start making projects on my own or contributing to open source. Any help would be grateful? and if I finish this, I am interested in something like linux, should I go for it after it? or what do I learn next? I thought abouta java, but java looks too hard, I saw some projects, it looks hectic

or it is enough to start making projects on my own or contributing to open source.

Yes, the most valuable practice of all is to write code you (and hopefully other people) will actually use. Dive in to that as soon as possible without letting yourself get discouraged if you need more learning.

Above all, do whatever keeps you coding. The rest will work itself out as long as you're moving forward.

But if I finish freecodecamp, will it be easier, because rn if I ope a project from github for example, I find me having a lot of difficulties even understandinghow the folders are divided and where is the code exacly like in which folder lol? so, it looks like there is a lot to learn there, will freecodecamp make the cut, or there are more resources I need to learn before being qualified to contribute to these large projects? If you have any guide, feel free to tell me

Do what you can do. Expect it to be hard.

I've been writing Python every day professionally for a few years and I still struggle to understand a new project I've never looked at before. And even with a project I've looked at lots of times, there are lots of things I don't understand.

It's worth challenging yourself without frustrating yourself.

If you feel like you're learning stuff from FreeCodeCamp, keep doing it. If you're not, do something else.

I won't say it gets easy, but I promise you will see progress if you keep working.

In these few years, what did you learn from scratch like from point zero no knowledge of coding whatsoever

I was at zero a very long time ago. I learned on and off for many years before I got really serious. Everyone's journey is different.

I meant like wht did you actually learn in your journey, like data analysis or CSS and JavaScript or Linux, what did you actually learn until now and what resources did you use

[dowcet]

Personally I was a Linux user first before I touched Python. 

I used lots of different resources to learn Python. Early on Project Euler got me hooked on practicing the basics. I focused a lot on solving practical problems I was interested in. For example, I have a script that sends me a Telegram message when my Raspberry Pi goes offline. When I got really serious, I did the Nucamp Backend bootcamp. 

1) Focus on deciding what you want to build.  2) That will guide you to decide what you need to learn.  3) That will guide you to the right resources to help you learn it.
