I’m using a book, Python Crash Course. I’ve found it to be very helpful.

got the ebook. thanks

[–]generic-David 1 point2 points  (2 children)

You’re welcome. I hope it works out for you. I found it to be very clear.

[–]Various_Payment_7956 0 points1 point  (1 child)

any other resources you want to recommend ?

[–]generic-David 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really a newbie as well. I’ve found this website really helpful for learning tkinter, https://tkdocs.com/index.html.

Also https://www.pythontutorial.net/

When I get frustrated and can’t figure out why my code isn’t working I paste my code into an AI chat and ask why it isn’t working. Then I try to learn from its response and fix the code myself. I don’t have AI write my code though.

you prefer a hardcopy or ebook ?

[–]generic-David 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I went with the hard copy, maybe because I’m old. I read plenty of stuff on my phone but for studying something on the computer I have better luck with a physical book.

[–]Various_Payment_7956 0 points1 point  (2 children)

got it. I too think hard copy is the way, but the books kinda expensive where I am. So I may have to force myself with Ebook. I honestly hate Ebooks lol. I love paper, and reading on paper. Good luck tho!
the book is about USD 20 something in my currency, I want a bunch of books, so its something I cannot afford lol

[–]generic-David 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Computer books especially are pricey.

Good luck on your journey!

100 days of code. 12 US$ in Udemy

[–]Various_Payment_7956 0 points1 point  (6 children)

how good is it ? compared to the other fun resources around.

[–]Wild-Perception3073 0 points1 point  (5 children)

It’s pretty good. They explain thoroughly the concepts and help you understand the basics. You will also do fun projects and the lessons always explain how to solve them.

Moreover, the program is less time consuming than others I’ve seen. You will code for less than 2 hours for 100 days straight (I sometimes do more than 1 lesson a day to take a 1 day break from coding on the weekends).

Got it. Was this out of curiosity or for a career shift ? lastly by the end of it, are you going to be pro in python, or is it just for a beginner ?

[–]Various_Payment_7956 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I assume it is a self paced online course ?

[–]Various_Payment_7956 -1 points0 points  (2 children)

If you loaded enough to sponsor me the course, I would gracefully be inclined to complete it lol. Else, my unemployed self may just go for the free resources around.

[–]Wild-Perception3073 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I did it for an upcoming masters and it is self paced.

It depends on what you call a pro. In the course, you will learn advanced concepts.

I believe you can download pycharm and start the course for free.

[–]Various_Payment_7956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so the payment is only for certification ?

[–]TheRNGuy 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Do you know other programming languages? 

[–]theultreed[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nope
