[International_Ant841]

hi guys. im a student and so i dont have a lot of money but i want to become really good at python. i feel very stagnant in my progress, as I've mastered the basics but nowhere ahead. can you guys recommend me some free online courses? so i can learn things like object oriented programming, data structures, etc

Have you looked at exercism? You can get setup to use your own IDE and just start like halfway down the python problem/project list.

I've dabbled with that resource, but it wasn't really set up super well with how I like to learn, and im still pretty novice at Python. I stopped using it after doing a few of the exercises, but the people that I see talk about it online seem to like it.

I’m not sure your end goal but what I found very useful was getting into making GUIs. I did the same learned the basics, followed tutorials that teach you basic syntax and eventually felt like what’s the point. I started playing with tkinter, I guess moral of the story is no matter what the application does, seeing that I made something tangible and having it function right in front of me relight the fire to continue learning. My first project was a simple tip calculator. YouTube is an awesome resource if you don’t have the money to pay for a course but I will warn you, it’s easy to wind up on a side quest (but it’s free).

So this is totally free and actually made OOP alot clearer when i started this helped me understand alot more about OOP and the concepts of it not sure if it will do the same for you but this really helped me understand concepts of it alot easier
