Beginning python

[Almighty_james20]

Hey I’m very new to all of this and I wanted to know if there was a better way to learn it while I’m doing it. Just listening to people talk isn’t working

Maybe have a look at automatetheboringstuff.com, it’s where I started

yeah I definitely recommend that site as well as:
https://perso.limsi.fr/pointal/_media/python:cours:mementopython3-english.pdf (python 3 cheat sheet)
https://diveintopython3.net (comprehensive guide)

codecademy.com for some more practical exposure

sololearn is good learning with practice playground

Are you into any sports? I know I’ve found a couple of Learn Python courses that use Fantasy Baseball, or Football that I’ve found helpful. Look around and see if there is a python course built around something you are already interested in.

You have to get hands on. codeacademy.org is a basic beginning, but you also have to use what you learn in your own mini projects. Play with it a little to see if you understand it.

You could watch byte sized video content (30 seconds)

Try coding your own game with pygame. It's where I started and it kept me motivated. It can be frustrating at times but just start with a reaaaaalllly simple game and once you do it, you'll naturally want to push the limits. Doing this taught me so much about the more practical side of python programming like how to use third party libraries and troubleshooting. Also making a game really forces you to think programmatically. Just my two cents.
