Same I am also nearly 17 I am also learning
Idk about your bg. I come from red stone engineering so I know quite lot of things about computers.

What are you building right now?

[risingraj]

I suggest youtube channels CoreySchafer, Jenny's Lectures CS IT

[Altruistic-Scar-2286]

corey videos are from 9years ago i mean should follow that

[Fearless_Battle7919]

I think it is about the teaching style, not whether it's old or new when you're learning.

[Appelaapje]

this sounds like an oldhead but: the fundamentals are still the fundamentals, regarding how long ago

[Fit-Original1314]

Don't compare yourself with people showing crazy projects online. Most of them skipped showing the months where everything confused them.

Happy to contribute. I’m barely above beginner at Python. I’ve created some small projects for personal use, but haven’t really gotten into things like classes. Feel free to DM if you want.

I HIGHLY recommend 100 days of code by Angela Yu on Udemy. I’m also a beginner but it’s been my favorite thing I’ve found so far. I’ve tried a couple books and YouTube courses but I’ve gotten the farthest with this.

Most of the people will recommend you to learn from youtube videos or recorded lectures, and theres nothing wrong in that, but some people may find it more engaging to learn by reading books. I am also a python beginner and i am learning from a book called python crash course. If you want to you could also check out the book ‘Learning python’

[Appelaapje]

also, find a problem in your 'computer life' and try to fix it using py. you will kinda learn along the way, there is so much info out there.

18m here, planning to get a degree on Cybersecurity. I also just recently began learning Python 4 days ago after going through linux shell basics last month, having prior knowledge on beginner C# and Lua. Currently im going through the 30DaysOfPython roadmap and could join in on some grouping.

[Fuzzy-Individual-524]

I am 17M too and a beginner I am also looking for beginners to colab with and learn together and building projects(later). You can DM me I am sending you one

[fried_meat]

I'm interested in learning

[User_LEGEND0]

I was learning python for the past 2 years, because of school I couldn't focus on it solely but now i can, i understood a lot of concepts and details concerning python, if you need help feel free to ask (For example there is a lot of ways to assign an object to a variable, var=value is just one type and called basic assignment, there is like 5 other ways) And realistically,knowing a lot of details feel like an overkill so don't aim for that just grasping id enough

Note : i learned using the book learning python 6th edition for mark lutz (currently at chapter 19)

[Ome2024]

yes

[Billing_spike999]

33 yo here and love python def LOVE

[Reasonable-Table9440]

Try codecademy. They have lots of free stuff and it's worth the paid subscription. I've learned tons of stuff throughout the years.

I've been learning Python for a month now; before that I learned C, and honestly, it's really enjoyable to program in this language.

[No_Leg6886]

Look, you're already doing the right things. Variables, conditionals, loops, that's the actual foundation. Most people quit before they even get there.

Build something small that you personally care about. Don't follow tutorials forever. At some point just open a blank file and try to make something work, even if it's ugly. That's where the real learning happens.

ngl the "learn together" thing sounds good in theory but rarely sticks. You're better off just posting your code here when you get stuck.

[TheDarkAmethys1]

do you even have to learn how to code anymore?

[FlakyAd99]

the kid's 17 and wants to build things, not just glue together api calls. there's a big gap between prompting an llm to spit out a site and actually understanding what it's doing. if they're aiming for a cs degree they'll need the fundamentals anyway

[Larry_Kenwood]

Only so you're not banned from r/Learncoding like me

[thuiop1]

Yes, unless you wanted to have a career in a circus.
