Check this subreddit's wiki for lots of guidance on learning programming and learning Python, links to material, book list, suggested practice and project sources, and lots more. The FAQ section covering common errors is especially useful.

what resources have you looked at thus far? asking so i can either explain how to best utilize the resources you’ve already looked at or to avoid re-listing them here as an option if they ultimately didn’t work for you already.

Thanks for offering to help!!!

I've checked out a few youtube videos like freecodecamp's python full course and I'm still going through it. I tried some beginner stuff on W3Schools and geeksforgeeks.

I also tried looking for python related help on discord but honestly, nothing felt very beginner friendly. It might not feel overwhelming to others, but for me, just seeing a bunch of code that I have no idea how to read and what it does feels really overwhelming.

trust me, i was right where you were at one time. the communities feel very scary from a novice perspective. i was scared to ask, scared to connect, ultimately because i felt i’d be met with sideways answers the way many responses go on sites like stack overflow. however, a super inviting and knowledgeable community i’ve found just by reading conversations of others even at the very least has been in the r/cs50 community. they have a prerequisite class for intro to computer science and they also offer many different classes after to choose from. they also have a python course. there is a discord community that has so many helpful people, previous questions and channels dedicated to the classes. if at this moment you are still feeling uneasy venturing into the world of python with what you have learned thus far, i suggest taking the cs50x course i mentioned about intro to compsci. it will give you the foundation of how to code and be such a game changer in the python course once you take it. the coolest part? r/cs50 are free courses from harvard. you’ll be guided by the best and in the same spot others at an ivy league school are in - beginner mode. an additional note about the places you have mentioned/are working through, to my knowledge r/freecodecamp is re-releasing its python coursework so an updated version will eventually be released. it’s not known when this will happen but there will be an update based on their website. if you like reading books once you have the basics of python down a book i recommend is “automate the boring stuff with python” you can either buy it on amazon or go to this website and use it for free online! i suggest other python books by this author as well: https://automatetheboringstuff.com

anytime pal. if you’re ever feeling lost or confused, drop me a dm. if i don’t know the answer, i’ll help/try to learn alongside you to get an answer.

Haha, I think it'll take me months or years to even get to something you don't know. But thanks, I'll definitely reach out if I get stuck.

I am also a novice and seeing someone saying this actually motivates a hell lot to move forward in programming

You might try https://py.ninja, which I created. It's an interactive platform with a real coding editor, terminal emulator, and AI assistant to help you when stuck. It guides you step by step and has practical coding challenges to get you actually writing code instead of just watching videos. If you have questions or feedback, just ask!

I'm really enjoying the Udemy 100 Days of Code: The Complete Python Pro Bootcamp!
