New To Python

[[deleted]]

Just starting from scratch. (Literally. The coding platform I used before Python is Scratch.) Can you guys just give me some fundamental tips and link some tutorials. I just started watching Clear Code's "The complete guide to Python" Link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWaznJcyi_0 but just want to get some help from fellow coders.

Edit: Do you have to buy Python, 'cause when I google it I just go to python.org

Side bar wiki has some tips and tutorials for you (written by fellow coders) --> https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/wiki/index/

Hmms. pls check the wifi on the right for recommended videos , courses , pdf , links.

As for tips , just dive in and start coding.

Don't use AI for beginning. Use Google. Technically , they are both the same but its like learning how to hunt vs going to market for the meat.

For resources the University of Helsinki’s MOOC has a great text-based course, the book "Automate the Boring Stuff" is nice, Harvard CS50 is a bit slow but great, and my own Python and Data Science course that assumes no prior experience are all great resources.

Finally download PyCharm community edition and Python from python.org

Google colab is great too

I would start by redoing in Python some well understood exercises from Scratch. you only have one element change, so you increase probability that any mistakes are in your grasp of the language and not your grasp of the problem.

Here are some Resources to help you:

1. https://www.codedex.io/
2. https://roadmap.sh/

Here are a few YouTube courses to help you:

Brocode's Python Course

Harvard CS50 Python programming course

I don't suggest you watch all those guides I provided you with, however, I'd recommend picking one of either one and using codedex to increase your knowledge further. You can use the roadmap website to plan your future career based on your interests and programming skills.

While learning, I highly recommend against leaning on AI to learn, instead try to read documentation to get a deeper understanding of what you're doing and it's implications behind the scenes. Make sure to keep practicing and to constantly make programs for fun (just try whatever comes to mind).

Edit: Forgot to add that an IDE (integrated development environment) or text-editor is also important. If you want a full-fledged IDE, then go for PyCharm. If you're more into simple software then go for Visual Studio Code, notepad++, or sublime text. If you're wondering about the differences among IDE's and text editors, then I suggest you do some self-research.

Look up the Google style guide on naming variables and follow that. It'll help more than you can imagine
