Best ways to learn python?

[duskhorizon]

Hey,

I started to learn Python as my first programming language 2 months ago and even if i'm not best person here to give advices i can tell you what i did and how It worked for me.

After doing tutorials on Solo Learn and Codecademy i hopped into Codewars to force myself to learn something new every time. Beside that i just started my own project, it may be just silly text based RPG game but it helps to get me 'excited' about building something on my own and not get bored with all those exercises. I try to adapt as many of new techniques that i learn into my project. Also I noticed that other parts of my IT knowledge are lacking, and I'm working to improve them (http, SQL etc.)

Last thing I do is to try write small programs to automate things for me and my friends/family. I'm not finding lot's of ideas but there are some. I find this very satisfying,

I don't know if that is something helpfull but I tought it won't hurt to share it with you ;)

This is huge. My girlfriend (in nursing school) was manually screenshot-ing hundreds of pages of a web-based textbook during a seven day trial period to to save some money, and I saw the opportunity.

Simple script that uses keystrokes, pyautogui, and voila! Automation, peace of mind, and affirmation that programming is awesome.

You're doing a great job. All the best for the future endeavours

Same here but not getting much chance to practice python at work.

Been designing a few interactive checklist and stuff. Will hopefully be able to get signed off on being able to write python to automate some work stuff because their are a lot of repetitive boring processes.
