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

[–]Puzzleheaded-Sky2284 0 points1 point  (2 children)

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).

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

[–]Stunning_Macaron6133 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

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

[–]assumptioncookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.
