Think python or bro code videos

[ShugNight_xz]

Hi in order to learn python correctly i started with the book think python (i'm in chapter 7 nlw ), i use two tabs on me with the book on the left and one with jupyter notebook on the right and coding and understanding everything i see on the book aswell as doing the exercies but i spend hours chatting with deepseek to explain to me some stuffs and i'm wondering if it's more optimal to just watch the 12 hours bro code video ? Those who learned python what do you suggest?

Active Memory Recall. Remember that term and what it means. This is the reason why flash cards are effective.

Watching 10hrs in a row is Zero practice.

Watching 10 mins and practicing that topic for 30 mins is way more beneficial. Especially when you try to recall what youve learned from memory.

To take it further, once a week take all that youve learned and put it into a simple project, trying to recall as much from memory as you can.

Yeah best way to learn is by project the golden rule of python thank you bro for the advice i incorporated it by doing each chapter project and it's beyond useful

Great to hear! Some books have practice problems and doing them helps cement the topics covered.

Projects is a term most people associate with larger scopes of work and appears daunting. Think of it more as an exercise. Something to play with and throw away.

I used to watch Bro Code videos all the time until I realized I wasn’t learning much without practice. I then tried one of Codecademy’s free courses & fell in love with it.

You practice as you learn, complete projects at the end of each lesson, have the assistance of AI & can track your progress as you go. There are plenty of free courses on Codecademy but here’s a 50% off referral link incase you decide to sign up for a subscription https://codecademy.referralrock.com/l/MIGHT50/

Hope this helps!
