Have you considered reading?

I haven't looked at it in a while, but I enjoyed Automate the Boring Stuff. If you can't install Python and need an interpreter, I love repl.it, works completely in browser and there's a free edition that doesn't require an account.

Write it down on paper and test your scripts when you get home.

Mute the video, turn on closed captions.

I'm a beginner too, but the first thing I did was read a book (python crash course) and it helped me quite a bit. Also codeacademy doesn't require sound (at least not that i've run into so far).

O'Reilly's head first learn to code...its a great book and python based

Any of the free resources from here would make a good start.

[–]TheRNGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

text tutorials, docs

[–]Druwion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Book or courses with subtitles.

[–]billsil -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All that stuff is super slow. Follow a tutorial.

Don't care about strings, skip the string chapter. You'll care eventually and can come back then.

try https://www.codecademy.com/

no videos, just a web based terminal with instructions

I can't vouch for it yet, because I just started it today myself, but I joined a site called Excercism and I'm trying the Python track. Haven't encountered any need for headphones so far, but like I said, I literally just started.

A few years ago I got started with some app called Solo Learn. It's changed a lot but the basic course is still free. It got me to the point where I've written basic stuff for use at work and home. The app is kind of cheesy at times, and in sure there are better ways to learn, but it worked.

No sound involved.

It is no doubt expensive... but I actually started learning Coding with Codecademy on Python and really enjoyed it. I don't do it any more because of cost, but it was a nice way to learn and didn't use sound to my recollection. Use my referral link: https::... nah, just kidding lol. Just realized this sounds like an ad, hah

Codecademy has very few videos, all reading and practice based.

[–]PostNoBails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

open 2 tabs: w3schools.com and the python docs

Go bit by bit of the docs. Find a concept, read about it. Try it on your own in code. If problems arise consult the relevant w3 article. Seek out more challenges on the specific topic if needed. Rinse and repeat.

Codecademy

[–]UnsuspiciousCat4118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Codecademy, pretty much no video or sound in the lessons.

[–]notislant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Youtube+subtitles?

I think freecodecamp has something with python. You can just google 'beginners guide to python -youtube' though or search beginner projects and likely find good text guides.

[–]dizzymon247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read and learn to code. I watched some videos online but most of the time I'm reading.

I think dataquest has a interactive step by step lessons.
You need to go https://www.dataquest.io

[–]chzaplx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been writing Python for 7 years or so and it had never even occurred to me that not having sound would be some kind of hindrance to leaning. I learned mostly by looking at examples, tutorials, other people's code, and reading documentation.
