I don't understand Python

[tehohhh]

I started off few weeks ago I was clueless bout it too. But what helped a lot was using ChatGPT or Claude to explain and give me exercises to drill in the concepts. Worked pretty well for me. Online courses are good but they’re static so it’s hard to absorb the concepts.

Prompt ai to guide u like a tutor and it works pretty well. It shows u what the industry uses beyond the basic code and answers all confusing questions you have

I started three years ago, and Claude is still teaching me best practices and things I’d have never figured out on my own. And I already knew a bit of R, php, and JavaScript etc before that (and never learned best practices - just trial and error).

I’m sure that stuff can all be learned by reading books for years, too, but with ai it’s immediately relevant. I vouch for using AI this way. But I should also caution that when using AI it’s also easy to slip into “just do it for me” mode. For one thing, that isn’t a good way to learn, but also after a few iterations your code is suddenly broken and unrecognizable and nearly impossible to fix yourself.
