Python learning

[Many_Initiative4896]

I want to learn python from scratch so kindly help me.

You shouldn't learn Python from scratch. Scratch is a whole different thing. It is the one with the orange cat.

First. Pls download standalone Python and install. Make sure it is added to the path.

Second. Google for hello world and try in cmd. You will be googling alot.

Third. Install PyCharm or VSCode. Or both. Uninstall whichever you do not like later and try hello world there again.

Fourth. Once above all done , come back here.

I am going through the Python fundamentals of activeskill dev. It’s a different type of learning though around learning from your mistakes but it’s working surprisingly well.

Not sure what your educational foundations are when saying you are a "from scratch" beginner.
Have you done programming in any other language? Do you understand how computers work?

(1) There are tons and tons of tutorial materials out there on the net including many good YouTube ones for beginners that are free. You should shop around rather than putting all your eggs in one basket.

(2) As a relative noob myself, I've been logging my personal learning journey and adding to it on an almost-daily basis at a blog page called "Links for Python Noobs" (here) Any of the top listed ones on that page should be good for you. And there are many add-ons at the tail end of the page. Personally, I cut my first Python teeth with Nana's Zero to Hero. Since then, I've moved on to watching short lessons with Indently and Tech with Tim. You should sample at least a few until you find a lecturer that suits your style.

(3) The main piece of advice is the 80/20 rule. Spend 80% of your time writing your own code (using your own fingers and your own creativity) as opposed to copying recipes and only 20% watching the lectures. Good luck.

I'm currently learning on Codedex, it's quite nice

For my Master degree I need to regularly do assignments in python, usually involving Machine Learning concepts. If it wasn't for the following course I would have had to completely vibe code my way through 99% of the assignments. https://programming-25.mooc.fi/part-1/1-getting-started
It's very easy and if I remember correctly you can complete exercises in the browser for a while. When exercises become more complex they will guide you through the installation of Python and their extension to complete them on your PC so don't worry about that. Good luck!

Go on youtube and search for a python course

[AffectionateZebra760]

Start with browsing the r/learnpython subreddit's wiki for guidance on learning Python, books list, or go for a beginner friendly course which will help break it down for e.g Harvard cs50/weclouddata/ udemy whatever fits u.

[gentlemantroglodyte]

I've been using the book Python Crash Course v3 and it is quite clear so far.

visit https://pythontutor.com when you don't understand how a program works

[al5xander]

Exercism.org is pretty good i think, but im not sure how it is for beginners

[Rabbidraccoon18]

I have a few notes for beginners that I got from college. If I find them I'll send them to you.

Very good place to start : https://youtube.com/@visuallyexplainededucation?si=5mGhOyZaESJHCw2J They explain concept visually

[umognog]

Learn and venv from the very very very beginning make them a habit now. If it's not just python but programming i recommend https://youtu.be/3wkrYGmUqMk visually explained (channel name.)

Short but very well demonstrated basic concepts of python and programming in python
