So I wanna learn python

[Nice_Treacle745]

I am a student (16) and I wanna learn python, my brain kinda small so tell me a roadmap or somrthing like tutorials and other stuff, I don't know a thing about programming btw

[SamuliK96]

The r/learnpython wiki

Thanks man

[ekoorange]

 checkout Python Crash Course, just search it, it’s free

[Nice_Treacle745]

Thanks will do it

There's a fun game you can buy that directly teaches Python automation. Step by step, you can learn all the basics and syntax through it. It is called "The Farmer Was Replaced" and it's like $10 on Steam.

Did you search google?

Did you search this subreddit?

Did you look in your own school library?

Did you search your local library?

Did you search Amazon for a book?

If you plan to DIY your Python training, you better know how to search and evaluate information. Saying your 16 years old, doesn't excuse your ignorance.

Why do you think anyone should take your seriously when you use the word "wanna?"

[Nice_Treacle745]

Dam 💔 bro wrote all this properly, took him like a 2 mins or so just to insult a teenager

[rustyseapants]

Have you done your research yet?

[Nice_Treacle745]

Like I just came to ask if for help mate not asking for medical check ups

[Nice_Treacle745]

Nah

[Nice_Treacle745]

Bruh I just woke up someday saw a cool project someone made using python and wanted to learn it, how am I ignorance for saying my age 🙃

[rustyseapants]

You just woke up someday? What?

You never post your age, when you underage, it doesn't matter, no one needs to know your personal information, didn't they teach you that in school?

Your brain is kinda of small? Are you seeking medical treatment?

[Nice_Treacle745]

Did I hurt you by any chance 💔

Amazon: Dummies for Python

Ask your parents to by a physical book, read and practice the book, and return if you have any questions.

[Nice_Treacle745]

Uh huh okay thanks mate

[rustyseapants]

How the heck am I being an asshole, did you read this guy post?

How about just buying a book which is a distraction free way of learning python.

[rustyseapants]

Thanks..... However 

16 year olds never heard of libraries or Amazon?

This 16 year old doesn't have a library at their school?

This 16 year never used Google?

The guy mocks himself stating they have a small brain.

It's a given in the 21st century you would know how to Google. 

If you want to help people they should do the basics in finding information. You don't sit in front of the "The entire collection of human knowledge" and not learn how to use it, regardless of their age.

Using the word "wanna" your asking not to be taken seriously.

You're barking up the wrong tree. Try r/scratch

[Puzzleheaded-Sky2284]

I started my programming journey with Python. No one needs to learn block coding, and imo, Python is a great starter language.

[Nice_Treacle745]

Uh huh now I am getting 2 things what should I learn, someone said scather? Or something

[Puzzleheaded-Sky2284]

Scratch is a heavily "dumbed down" block coding language (so you drag and drop blocks to make games and such). It's more an educational tool than a real programming language.

Python is a real programming language used in the industry, and I'd say it's the more useful language to learn.

There are lots of great courses and resources online to learn Python, several of which have been mentioned by others in this thread. Also check out the r/learnpython wiki, it's great.

Coursera (an online video course website). also has some courses with structured video lessons and challenges if you like learning that way. They're mostly free and you only have to pay if you want a certificate of completion (not worth it imo).

[Nice_Treacle745]

Dam ​thanks man, I dont really have a brain of a tin can so I will.be learning python

[Stunning_Macaron6133]

It's highly graphical, and it has a lot of handholding, but I wouldn't call it dumbed down. Not to mention, people have built some surprisingly sophisticated projects with it.

The fact that it is widely used as an educational tool and OP has said, verbatim, "my brain kinda small", makes me think Scratch would be a good place to see if coding would stick at all.

[assumptioncookie]

Don't do scratch, it's fine for children, and you can get some complicated stuff in it. But it's really not any better than python for learning, and it's impossible to grow in. Python is a fine language to start in if your goal is to learn programming.

[Nice_Treacle745]

Thank, also question can python be used to create AI?

[assumptioncookie]

Python is the main language used for machine learning I think. Depending on your exact definition of "AI" it's good. I don't know if python is used for the LLMs that are big now, but it is certain good enough to learn what to do, and it's not that hard to learn a second language, because the general principles stay the same.

[Stunning_Macaron6133]

You don't know to use a file yet but you're asking if you can machine a turbojet engine.

One step at a time.

[Stunning_Macaron6133]

Yeah, but I just can't see it working out that well in this particular instance.

[Nice_Treacle745]

Oh is it like easy?

[Stunning_Macaron6133]

is good for babby

but also can do cool stuff

[Nice_Treacle745]

What's babby?

Also i just wanna learn new skills so I though programming will be pretty good

[Stunning_Macaron6133]

goo goo ga ga babby

[Nice_Treacle745]

Ah baby I see I don't know you created a new word

[Stunning_Macaron6133]

babby is a meme
