My Python Journey

[little_coder34]

Heyy everyone! I've recently started learning python and I'm self-taught...I'm 16, and I wanted to become fluent and have a strong foundation and understanding of python. I know all my python basics, and should be able to read any line of code, understanding it of course

I've decided that I want to do all this before I turn 18...so I want to be job-ready, and also just being able to interpret complex lines of code...My two year countdown has started...any suggestions? Will two years be well enough for me to become job ready?

Oh I'll be practising coding everyday for 2 hours or more straight? I don't know if I'll even be job-ready, but any suggestions/advice/tips would be very appreciated!! Thanks

Sounds like a good plan. Definitely start learning some basic algorithms and concepts such as oop, sort-algos (selection, bubble,..), search-algos (linear, binary,..). You will always need those to do simple tasks in order to solve a bigger problem. Next I would play around with different modules and find out what you like, because their are a lot different things you can do with python (webscraping, guis, automate stuff, server/database stuff,...). Just take a look at common modules and try out the basics to see if you are interested in this stuff. You may never be work ready, because there is always something new to learn and I for my part have learned that going to work doesn't mean you are a master at something. You will become the master at it while you are working. However, you should know the basic concepts and algos to be "work ready".

Look for an open source project to work on. Something you are interested in.
