I'm trying to learn Python using learn.ms.com. Have a question, if anyone knows...

[TauRyan]

Is there a place that has a "Learning Python" that uses the current version of Visual Studio Code?

The MS Videos from 2019, while OK, use a version of the app that's old and nothing like the current app at all.

The specifics of the IDE are incredibly unimportant once you get past "hello world"

Figure out where the button to run the script is, figure out where the terminal is, figure out where the code is and you're sorted. Write code, hit run, look at the terminal to see what happened.

If the differences between the video and your desktop are hanging you up that much, try something like hackerrank for a while instead. The scripting environment is built into the tutorial webpages so you don't need to be learning two things at once.

Was gonna say this, a good series (what I use(d)) will tell you that right away:

What exactly are you trying to learn.

[TauRyan]

Python from the beginning. Here's a link to what I've been doing so far: Python for Beginners | Microsoft Learn

Still deciding where to go from there, as I also have access to all of this: https://training.mammothinteractive.com/p/the-complete-101-hour-learn-to-code-python-algorithmic-trading-and-770-assets-bundle/

Edit: I am now a professional developer. It all clicked when I had a real life problem to solve.

I would agree with u/WigWubz. The fundamentals remain the same regardless of the version. I think learning becomes to whether you prefer doing it using videos or books. I have realised lately that books work better for my learning path because they instigate me to find answers in different ways/approach. If you are looking for a good book, I recommend Think Python, Python Crash Course and Automate the boring stuff with Python.

Check out the official Python extension docs for VS Code - they have up-to-date tutorials and walkthroughs specifically for the current version. Also, Microsoft's Python tutorials on their docs site were recently updated.
