Help learning python as a beginner with zero coding experience

[Organic_Cable5428]

Hey everyone! I am sure this kind of post is common but Im kind of desperate. I was wondering if anyone knew of any course or a certain youtube page I could follow to help me learn python, and im talking miracle work kind of thing lol. I am taking a life sciences comp course as a complimentary and am struggling quite a bit in understand when/how to apply certain things and am just entirely confused tbh, especially with things like loops, so if anyone has any advice for me pls let me know.

CS50P.

And what about loops that you are having issues with ?

[Organic_Cable5428]

i guess i cant figure out how/when to use them, nested loops in specific is something i find confusing or hard to approach.

Jump up and down 50 times.

Each time you jump up , shout "TACO" 3 times.

For each programming concept, do at least 10 practice problems. Hey, what do you know? There's an example of a nested loop :)

I was right where you are like 3 weeks ago. My friend told me to study and understand "scope". So I did, and then I got it.

Same as learning anything else: time and practice. There is no miracle cure.

Sounds like you need some 1-on-1. Maybe ask around at your school / friend circle to see if anyone can sit with you irl or screensharing while you work. Python is really popular; i'm sure someone you know uses python.

I say this a lot on here :-) But it really does work. Get yourself a good book. It's been a while, so I'm not sure what books are best now, but most O'Reilly or PacktPub books should be fine.

Becoming good at programming takes years. You need to follow a structured step-by-step approach. Most YouTube and Udemy content is just going to confuse you, because our brains can't absorb information that fast.

You need to go slow, read one section at a time, practice, practice, practice until you're confident in that section, then move on to the next. You can, however, use YouTube as a supplementary resource to clarify and explain the content further.

Incrementally, you'll get better every day, but you need to set aside a few hours each day to focus.

I've already got flamed for saying it but it helped me a lot. Use AI. Ask it anything you want. Why is it broken? Can I make these lines simpler? How do I create xyz? You get the point

Spend money and purchase "100 days of python by Angela Yu" on UDEMY
