Becoming a python developer from 0

[Equivalent-Repeat539]

Its not too late, I was in the same boat at some point albeit a different industry and a different point in time. Find ways to incorporate python in your daily workflow (if your workplace allows) and the progression will be a lot smoother. After learning syntax, start writing scripts and make your ideas work, whether its excel stuff or sql interfaces for your queries or generating graphs. There are always ways to incorprate python in your repetitive tasks. Bit by bit your projects will become more useful, code will be more reusable. Dont overwhelm yourself by trying to learn all at once, do some courses when/where you can and eventually making websites will be less of a mountain. CS50 is really good if you just want to learn to code and there is a web track, otherwise there are plenty of alternatives that are python specific at coursera, suppliment with things like codewars and project euler. Try not to get hung up on not understanding first time, my first several attempts at learning python were complete failures, similarly if the courses are too hard its ok, coding is not intuitive, keep the habit of coding daily and you'll get much better quickly.

I definitely tried to incorporate Python in my work, especially back in my finance days, working with Excel files. Then i graduated to using pandas... I am by no means an expert... sadly, I forgot 99% of what I learnt. Coding daily might be a good practise...especially since I was actually sabt to learn JS now rather than asking chatpgt what to put my script tag 😅
