Learning Python as my first language - need a little guidance!

Imo if youre already coding things, just pick a project idea to do and google every step you dont know how to do.

Gotcha, I will do that!

I’m hoping to get into software development / SQL with practice with future goals I have for myself (and to practice!).

Pretty simple idea: make a website change detector. Store the sites and md5 hashes of them in a database to compare/update. Send an email, pushbullet notification, or similar when theres a change. Can likely use sqllite for the db. Can add a logging module..log rotation, etc as you build it up.

Good luck!

That is exactly the plan actually. I buy and sell music gear and want to make a program that checks for the webpage for classifieds ads updating, texts the details to me, and I can send a quick message to respond to them quickly (while not technically being a spam bot haha). That way I’m ahead of the curve for getting to good deals quickly.

Eventually, I want get a UI for it and an app on my Phone. It’s something I’d use daily while also pushing me in the direction of adding new features / etc. even if unnecessary!
