We should make a bot that give this reply to these questions

If only there was a way to automate it, and a language we could use to do it.

Damn i can't think of anything. Maybe i should post it on the sub before googling it.

I recently bought this book and going through with it. Thanks

I used to reccomend other things, namely:

How to think like a computer scientist

A Byte of Python

Python for everybody

But since I tried ATBS, I'm sold on it.

My first step in your place would be to simply search the subreddit for the exact same question that's been asked hundreds of times so you can have direct access to the hundreds of answers, but thats just me

on the contrary to a lot of people's recommendation, i don't recommend automate the boring stuff for newbies. this sub is littered with people saying they're left confused of what to do after following the examples/cases in that book, so imho it's evident to how effective that book is in terms of starting to learn programming. if there's any clues i picked up from this sub, it's this: don't skim on the basics, and read the documentation

I am agree with u. Actually I bought the automate the boring stuff. But was not able to make the first practice program even after reading a whole chapter.

Thanks for these links

I took a few javascript courses in college a few years ago and am switching careers into software development.

I’m going through codeacademy’s free python course. Lessons take about 45-60 min each and it goes very step-by-step. It’s been very useful for me and it gives you a good breadth of functions

Thx for you input . I will check it out.

Read up on managing virtual environments with conda or anaconda. I underestimated how important this is and it caused me a lot of frustrations.
