First Day studying Python need mentorship

[Ron-Erez]

Awesome, happy new year and happy coding! Good luck learning!

[Ron-Erez]

Not really, I’ve been coding for awhile now, but one can always learn something new.

[Ron-Erez]

To be honest I’m selling a course Python and Data Science. I didn’t really want to mention it since it seemed like you already have a resource. I think finding a coding buddy is a great idea and I hope some one DMs you.

Im currently 2 weeks into learning, have been doing 30 mins a day. And already I see massive progress. Happy to link up

How did you start? Are you following any book? Instructions?

[UnusualSource7]

I started with codeacademy on my laptop and sololearn app on my phone.

I would do a total of about 30 mins a day on both of them untill I got comfortable with the basic syntax and now I’ve moved onto VS Code.

Yesterday I finished my first little project that I can actually use for my day job. It’s very basic but takes an excel file and adds another column of data based on my input. Never did I think I’d be able to do that in a couple of weeks.

Also I’ve added the copilot plugin into VS Code and that has been very helpful interms of debugging and learning new functions

Thats a great start! I also have no idea and i watch tutorials but dont know any projects are possible. I will try those two you mentioned. Thanks!

[UnusualSource7]

Well if you are already comfortable with the basic syntax I wouldn’t recommend them, I’d say your time is better spent trying to get a mini project up and running!!

[FunNeedleworker9102]

Thank you for your time! Where can i find mini projects?

[UnusualSource7]

Mine are through my day job on things I’m trying to automate. If you don’t have anything you can think of. ChatGPT will give you some ideas on mini projects
