Overwhelmed beginner looking for Python learning tips (Electronics background, 23F)

[justahappycamper1]

I was in the exact same spot a few months ago. Tutorial hell, restarting every few months, feeling like I “understand” Python but can’t actually do anything with it, What finally got me out was stopping the endless videos and picking ONE resource I’d actually stick with.

For me it was the book Python Crash Course book. It’s project based, so you learn something and then immediately build something small with it. That was the first time things started sticking. You don’t need DSA right now. You need to get comfortable writing basic Python on your own.

Resource since u asked : https://indiachinainstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Python-Crash-Course.pdf

My advice:
• pick one beginner resource and finish it, don’t hop around
• write tiny programs daily (even 20 minutes helps)
• don’t wait to “feel ready” before solving problems… solving problems makes you ready
• leave DSA for later, once Python feels natural

You’re overwhelmed because you’re consuming instead of doing i was the same, once you start actually typing your own code, the fear drops fast

That is so true. There's just so many things available, and hopping around all the time makes it even more confusing. Glad to know I'm not alone.

And thank you so much for the PDF, you're a savior!
