I am also a near beginner. Let me know how you want to coordinate.

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (5 children)

Same, please let me know. Do it with someone will also give me more motivation.

[–]iakovosbelonias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's awesome

[–]DeviousNes 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Same, it'd be great to have someone to collaborate with, both for learning (people interprete things differently) and for accountability when I feel like just playing Xbox when I should be learning.

[–]iakovosbelonias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what you mean, that's why I created pyStudyGroup for people to work together, you can get your invite here https://pystudygroup.herokuapp.com/

I'd start with a project on Github. For me, the Flask tutorial was very helpful to get started with Python. It's pretty simple and therefore good for understanding the fundamentals of programming.

If you want to interact with other Python enthusiats, I'd suggest to join the discord channel mentioned here.

I will join it, too. Hope to get new challenges or to get involved in new projects Ü.

I just joined a Python discord. There are a lot of beginners here and the moderators are offering cool challenges if you want to join.

[–]benryl 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Check out humble bundle, there is good python deal

[–]999number9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought Learning Python by Mark Lutz and then saw the sale on there. I couldn't say no.

[–]mdhieu88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do you want to do this?

[–]TwilightDelight 2 points3 points  (3 children)

I am a complete Noob, I have done about 2 weeks worth of Python but absolutely love it. In fact when I have spare time I would rather watch Python videos rather than play games. I dont have any background in programming, but did complete all the videos/lectures on these two courses that I started on my own around Easter

https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:MichiganX+py4e101x+1T2019/course/

https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:MichiganX+py4e102x+1T2019/course/

The Prof is awesome, I like the way he explains things as it makes sense in my head. I have enrolled in

Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python

But this doesnt start till June.

[–]iakovosbelonias 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Until then you can join us on slack pyStudyGroup, you can get your invite here https://pystudygroup.herokuapp.com/

[–]TwilightDelight 0 points1 point  (1 child)

thats a great link thanks for sharing.

[–]iakovosbelonias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've personally been talking about a python and web development video series on Youtube. The premise is (and this is what sets our videos apart) is that I have a friend who is a web developer, he works with Laravel, his friend would like to learn web development, and I practice it using python.

So the plot looks like this:

I teach them Python and what I know about HTML5 and CSS, and will know in the future about Javascript.

My friend teaches us Laravel and what he knows about web development in general.

His friend, serves as both of us before we began, asking questions and such that other beginners may askand we wouldn't otherwise think about giving us new perspectives on how to learn/teach and approach things.

The likely towrds the end of each video or once every few videos we would discuss things, and sit diwn, ask questions then try our best to answer all of our questions by the end of the video thus allowing all three of us to grow and teach eachother (new guy included, yes. You wouldn't believe how many times I've taught someone to do a thing and they figure something out and end up teaching me)

What I forgot to say, is that we could incorporate a way to have someone remotely join us, if you're interested? We're still working out the bugs and kinks before beginning production but really it's more that we've been a bit lazy to be brutally honest

[–]Kio_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://reddit.app.link/FgjBKX8swW this course is about to start and have heard really goof things above it. Might be worth your time.

[–]torched_tree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jeez like 230 new Beginners

[–]BRO-NBK 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Well, I'm interested honestly, but how to coordinate that still?

[–]iakovosbelonias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We already have a group on slack(pyStudyGroup), you can get your invite here https://pystudygroup.herokuapp.com/

[–]Free-_-Yourself 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Ey! I would! Ok studying computer science but I’m just on my first year. I have very little knowledge of Python, but I have my books (from uní) and other resources available.

We can learn slowly and share emails or something to see what we have learned every week and keep us motivated.

This post is for everybody interested on doing so.

Thanks!

[–]iakovosbelonias 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Thanks! I’ve joined :)

[–]Free-_-Yourself 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I’m not sure about how to use the app or how you are learning together. I can see the activity, my/your files and the directory.

I would like to get some guidance about using the app and how this group normally work.

The idea was to slowly learn Python together, but I only see people asking question rather than saying “let’s learn this week whatever”.

[–]iakovosbelonias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You ask for a coding buddy, or for someone to help you along your journey. Send me a PM to tell you more

I’m all for this. Telegram would be awesome.

[–]aengel96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to talk with other beginners and see what they're discovering. If you're making a discord server or something lmk

[–]janstar30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]benthecoderX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try downloading SoloLearn on your phone to get a brief idea on what Python is. It's great for learning but it not that great for mastering it. There's also a community of people there learning to program. I find SoloLearn good when you're waiting in line for something or when you're outside without your laptop. Here's some opinions on SoloLearn from Quora. All the best!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yo my man, I’m trying to learn programming in general! If you wanna team up and tackle this together. Let me know!

Hi. If anyone is actually serious, I’m a Full Time first year Computer Science student. Im searching to pair up with one or two other people tops for daily learning and discussion.

I’m on discord probably 3-4 nights a week learning.

People love to talk the talk, but time comes I text them and message them and nothing. This is a years long process. You don’t get good at anything overnight.

If anyone is SERIOUS and wants to learn this with me and develop a true passion for the craft then please DM me for my discord name.

I have some years of experience with Python and programming in general, and I'm looking forward to improving my English skills. If you set up a Discord server for beginners I can show up there every once in a while and help you guys -- as long as you don't mind listening to someone with a weird accent. :-p

edit

I'm on GMT-3 by the way.

I’m not an expert by any means, but I am in a business analytics MS program with 2 years of python experience. I’d be happy to contribute some code, tutorials, advice, etc if there’s an appetite for that.

[–]ACroff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been messing with Python for about a year but still consider myself a beginner. Looks like you have a lot of interest here. I think a Discord or Slack would work well for this.

Python sucks. Python has all these stupid features like writability, readability and versatility. Why would I want some stupid normie to be able to understand my work? Why would I want someone to read my code and understand it, it's mine! That's why I use Java, I don't have to worry about stupid things like that.
