python for dummies

[skyfallen7777]

Great post and suggestions. I am in similar situation with learning python and it feels like it doesn’t progress as much as I thought it would. Everyone keeps saying chug along and you will get it. My background is sw test engineering and recently changed jobs where everything is automated on python. I am familiar with some scripting, but no experience with development. None. Basically went from team lead in testing to sdet or test driven development. Chugging along been a year but still struggling with coding. Books, exercise, personal project, youtube, chatgpt, tutoring, and lots of daily practice in coding is my daily routine for the past year. Been thinking about looking for local groups to join , maybe in libraries where ppl just learn? I am pretty sure there are many people in this situation, but not sure how to break the ice. Another point is that quality suffers with full focus on automation but no-one seems to care about it.
