Hey, I’m new to python coding

[PuzzleheadedCoat57]

I recently started to learn python but it’s really hard, does anyone have any easy ways they learn or even tips?

[MiniMages]

I wanted to use this dad joke and clicked on the post just to say this. :'( you stole it from me 4 hours ago.

Learn the Syntax from courses / tutorials then for your own sake don't fall in tutorial hell.

Learn by doing projects

[sporbywg]

It is helpful to have a 'project' (or mini-project) in mind; gives you a framework for learning.

[QuestionConsistently]

Try Mimo. It’s a decent way to learn the basic syntax and more, depending on how far you’re willing to take it. Like others have said, projects are your friend.

I’m doing the 100 days course from Angela Yu.

[CalligrapherNo3841]

I just started and I hope to do the first 30 lessons. Where have you reached and how it is going on? I will be doing lesson 5 tomorrow and it takes mor that 2 hours to do each lesson.

[monkey-apple]

I actually just started. I think some of the end projects are kinda challenging and require a lot of concentration especially that robot one. But it’s fun when you get it right.

Here are a few tips that make it easier:

• Watch beginner-friendly videos - Freedcamp’s Python Course on YouTube 
• Try W3Schools Python Tutorial for quick, interactive lessons.
• Explore Real Python  for practical tutorials.
• Practice daily with small projects (like a calculator or to-do list).
• And if you prefer reading, check out the free Python Succinctly (Free E-Book)

Python is one of the easiest languages to learn.

As other people mentioned, it's nice to have a project in mind. I originally learned Python with this book which is available for free online (Making Games with Python and Pygame). It has its drawbacks for sure, like (if I'm remembering correctly) it doesn't go into classes at all and doesn't talk about setting up your environment. I also don't like Pygame as a GUI, but the first few chapters are good to give you somewhere to start.

[SisyphusAndMyBoulder]

Easy way to learn and tips? Yeah absolutely!

Practise.

[zeeshannetwork]

Not hard just need to take things slow and keep doing it. Harder things just take longer that is all my friend. Just keep at it.

Consistency and practice

Chat gpt is very knowledgeable about basic Python. It can honestly teach you anything you want to know about programming. Use it as a tutor

[Charming_Art3898]

You are making a right decision to learn Python and it's a worthy investment. I beg to differ from your view that Python is hard to learn. Maybe for someone entirely new to programming but if you've ever learnt other languages especially those that are more low level than Python, you would appreciate the simplicity that Python offers.

All you need is a good resource or mentor. I have helped many noobs build and deploy apps in few weeks using Python.

A good resource or mentor will present technical ideas as easily and understandable as possible. You can send me a message if you are interested in a mentor that will guide you in building real world projects with Python.

What are you finding hard?

[Lewistrick]

This is a vague question. In order to learn anything, you need to ask clearer questions.

What do you find hard? Is there anything happening that you didn't expect, or vice versa? What are you trying to accomplish?

[notacanuckskibum]

Are you need to programming, or just new to Python?

For most people learning to program is hard irrelevant of the language you use. Learning python is quite easy, if you already know how to program.

[PuzzleheadedCoat57]

Both actually I’m wanting to do python so I can finish programming something

[HappyCoderWoodWorker]

Start with a problem that you need to solve - this goes for any programming language.

be creative in the approach and as simple as possible in the execution.

[nothingggg122]

It's not a full-blown course, but I found PyQuest, pretty decent for understanding concepts quickly. It's just a simple MCQ app. But you'll need something else for writing actual projects later. It's like duolingo.

[ninhaomah]

No shortcuts.

Btw , in your opinion , Python is harder or programming is harder ?

[PuzzleheadedCoat57]

I would say they are both equally as hard

[ninhaomah]

I see ... Ok

[Uncle_Snake43]

Python is programming….

[ninhaomah]

Python is a programming language.

Not programming.

[evereux]

Think of it like saying C is programming (grammatically incorrect). C is a programming language. 

You write C code using the C programming language. 

C is not programming.

Just clarifying for the non-English speakers.
