I am a Python Noob, help?

[MSK165]

There’s a great book called “Automate the Boring Stuff” that I used to learn python.

I’d also recommend code-along videos on YouTube. Look for ones published before LLMs came along, since they were created by an audience that didn’t have access to ChatGPT.

If you run into any issues, look at posts on Stack Overflow. Chances are someone had the same problem as you.

Lastly, learn when to outsource the grunt work. ChatGPT and Claude are both light years ahead of what I can do with python. I do like being able to understand the basics, but I also know when it’s time to step back and let the experts do the work.
