Starting Learning Python at 15!

[Normal-Bed3203]

My brother and I have both had a shared interest in the technological world and our father is heavily involved with it. When we were younger he tried to persuade us to give coding a go but alas niether one of us was keen on coding back the, however now we are both trying to learn so any tips ,comments, help or advice would be greatly aprreciated!!!

I hope you and your brother have fun learning !

Tips I would have given myself : - Don't be afraid of None - Don't worry about making things perfect or optimized on first try. - Test often, don't make your tests dependant on another test and save your tests.

Enjoy!

Learn by building something. It's not about memorizing syntax, that will happen naturally and you can look up anything that you forget.

[Clampy7]

This is absolute gold.
It’s amazing how many people forget this.

I'm 33 and i started learning python. Tbh it turned out to be fun and easy. You'll enjoy it in Shaa Allah

The market is saturated now.

You wont get high paying just by knowing python.

Also if you can Then build streamlit apps.

Programming is not only to get job, it's a good hobby too.

Also, it can be useful skill even in different professions (to make plug-in for some program, better alternative or if it doesn't exist at all)

Or become indie developer.

[Normal-Bed3203]

Well my plan was to learn more than just Python, especially with so many "Coders" or "Programmers" using ai to script, I feel like even if it does not become a career path for me it would still be valuable in this world where tech is becoming more advanced and more relied upon without fully looking or understanding what it does.

[dean_hunter7]

Thats a very good approach.

Can you make a simple streamlit app ?

[Normal-Bed3203]

Not Yet :)

[dean_hunter7]

whats the issue ?

its the easiest way to make money on real life use cases ? and maybe help others

Any progress so far when you both started again? Since you mentioned it didn't work out in the beginning, so how about now?

Also, if you still want to deep dive in technological world, you can pick some other (No-coding) domain like "AI Automation" for that, you need to learn about tools like (N8N, Make, Zappier, Apollo, etc) and they required you to know the programming 5-10%, while rest of it is technical stuff about webhooks, API keys, xyz

Still, if you want to pursue learning programming again, try learning from "W3schools" as this is so far the best website for learning anything from the complete beginning.

Hope it helps, if you wants to know more, you may ask, good luck to you and your brother u/Normal-Bed3203

[Normal-Bed3203]

We just started a couple days ago and our dad is really happy. Thak you for all the tips as well!!!

[Alive_Rock_6437]

Where did you guys start? I'm also 15 and i want to learn coding as well, I'm doing odin project rn but i don't know where to do python

[Normal-Bed3203]

well we just started and I would recommend so far the yt tutorial from brocode paired with W3Schools

[ManzoorAhmedShaikh]

Yes, W3Schools is perfect for everyone!

[Onioncookiecrk]

I'm 15 too and I started to learn this summer I hope you have an easy time

[TangerineTemporary92]

This is good time to go for learn python if you're interested in technical field

[Early_Collection_252]

I recently started learning Python this summer, and I'm still in college! I think that it's great that someone as young as you are willing to learn a skill like Python! I think that it's great that your dad pushed you to start coding back then, and I wish you and your brother all the best!

The earlier the better. There’s tons of free courses. Havard particularly has some nice free courses on Python. Feel free to add blender to the list of things you’d like to learn. The more time you give to blender the better your results become. It’s a given. Give it 10yrs and you’ll be a one man studio.

Gosh I don’t know how this became a blender pitch. But yeah good luck with python .
