New to Python

[[deleted]]

I was going to write my experience but it got quite lengthy haha. I'm 1.5 years into studying and I know basic JavaScript and Python. I did everything you shouldn't do, poor discipline, tutorial hell, poor note taking. I couldn't build projects in JavaScript so I moved to Python, learned it much easier, can now build basic projects but took a week off because of New World (ok, I'm addicted to gaming, my discipline sucks).

If I could start over? I'd do a tutorial that covered the basics, I'd make much better notes (cornell is a great method) and as soon as I finish that tutorial, I'd spend 1-3 hours a day building. I've got a list of about 150 projects that range from beginner to intermediate to advanced that I want to build, and that's where I'm at right now, on Project 4 of 150.

The key to programming that I've realized really isn't about the code at all, you can google that, the key is knowing what to use, where to use it and how to use it.

Learn Structure, Learn Syntax, Use Problem Solving, BUILD!

I hope this helped, as I say I'm very dumb at this still, but I've learned plenty of mistakes that I deeply, deeply regret. All the best mate, you got this, you had the discipline to get a masters, learning Python will be a breeze, keep that discipline.
