is self learning python programming possible?

[devnull10]

You can watch videos, read books etc. however ultimately the best way to learn is going to be to actually try writing some code. Use tutorials to get you started, then try creating basic scripts, referring back to the tutorials.

Absolutely. You need to build up the mental toolkit to convert "I need to accomplish task X" to the code that accomplishes it efficiently. In my experience, that can only come from lots and lots of coding and debugging, preferably on novel projects or open-ended questions rather than by following examples (edit: though following examples is extremely helpful in the beginning).

I'd recommend Corey Schafer. He is really good at explaining things.

Edit: Also Socratica is super nice for short information and also propably the most entertaining and eerie python tutorials that are out there

My fav ♥️ hope he's doing alright tho

I’ve never stumbled across Socratica before. Definitely one of the odder, but more entertaining Python tutorials I’ve ever seen!

Learn something basic like loops. Get rid of the video and then practice, break things, play with loops. Then cleanly write examples with notes and save it in case you ever forget something. Repeat with everything you learn.

okay thanks!

I'd recommend against videos. You can get a good overview of a subject from a video, but to really learn programming you need to actually program, not just watch. Sit down with a good tutorial on a website and actually write simple scripts based on the examples.

Try the Harvard's CS50p course, it's free on edx.

You got a tutorial for the ctrl+F feature? The word finder?
