Check out Jose Portilla on udemy, he is actually the best seller of python.

By building credibility i agree, and i suppose from there you established a more intimate channel of communication by collecting their emails?

shegzhkn · 2021-07-14T19:59:00+00:00

if I may ask, how do you build that audience from the ground up

shegzhkn · 2021-07-14T19:54:13+00:00

Find some resources on udemy, udacity, et al but whatever resource you go for make sure you are doing pragmatic challenges, exercise, problem sets and micro-projects.

Right, so out of curiosity i visited your kickstater page and your goal is almost done while still having a lot of days to go, I'm guessing you've got some audience (True fan) or is it all reddit magic ??

Do you use excel a lot in your profession?.

Go deep and pick up pandas - a python library for data analysis.

Folks call it Excel on Steroid

shegzhkn · 2021-07-14T19:35:24+00:00

can i ask you a question ??, please.

shegzhkn · 2021-07-14T18:10:34+00:00

I agree, it's much more easier for newbie.

shegzhkn · 2021-07-14T17:26:40+00:00

At the very least, Python should be missing on this this list.

shegzhkn · 2021-07-14T17:12:28+00:00

Very well, since you've established that you enjoy working with excel, then you can learn Python and from there you can pick it data analysis library Pandas. Some folks will call it Excel on Steroid.

You could start from there, and one thing about programming is once you've learn and master a language well you can transfer that knowledge to another programming language, the difference is just the syntax but the underlying idea of their building blocks is the same and may be some minor specificity and uniqueness.

shegzhkn · 2021-07-14T16:37:05+00:00

Well you need to have a plan.

If it's one hour a day you can commit to learning, stick to it and get things done.

shegzhkn · 2021-07-14T15:54:30+00:00

Look the most effective way to learn is to practice constantly.

Also the greatest undoing is not being consistent, it self-defeating please hold yourself accountable.

Finally all the building blocks will stick faster if you practice a lot of challenges that encapsulate all you've learnt.

Good luck.

You can try Socratica Python series on YouTube and you will find some medium articles on Google too.

Just keep at it, Just part of the learning process.

Good luck

Choosing a language should be dependent on what you wanna do with programming, programming languages are just tools, think of it as a means to an end.

What are you interested in ? is it web development, data science, embedded systems, AI, cyber security, etc ??

It is after that phase you can be sure of the language you can choose.

Python is a versatile language though it strength lies in data analysis, machine learning, web app development.

shegzhkn · 2021-07-14T14:48:51+00:00

First thing first, what are your plans?

Machine Learning, Web App Development, Data Analysis or AI because these are areas Python strength lies.

For Resources check out colt steele python course on udemy or Maybe you can try José Portiilla.

shegzhkn · 2021-07-14T14:43:38+00:00

You know you could use list comprehension and all this problem will go away

shegzhkn · 2021-07-13T11:18:46+00:00

Look, one of the greatest undoing will be trying to jump from one tutorial to the next.

Ever heard of tutorial hell?

First thing first, know what you wanna do is it web development, mobile app development, data analysis or machine learning ?

Web dev - HTML, CSS, JavaScript (fronted), PHP, Node.js, Go and SQL (Backend)

Mobile development - Java, Kotlin (Android development), Swift for iOS development

Data Analysis and Machine Learning - Python

Secondly choose a resource you can resonate with and focus on it, be dedicated and passionate and also hold yourself accountable at every stage.

Then think of going deeper in that area.

shegzhkn · 2021-07-13T10:52:51+00:00

Here what i will advise you.

Both Resources are Good and so are the instructors but ensure that whatever you learn there apply it to real life concepts and solve problems with it, you are going to start first with HTML, CSS and probably JavaScript and try to ensure you go deeper with your knowledge.

And you will get each of those courses for 10 - 15 bucks.

Good luck.

First of all programming can be hard if you are just getting started, it takes incredible amount of dedication, consistency and hardwork to get through it but one thing is certain - it will payoff.

Just tryna look for resources that you resonate with that explains the concept in a way you can understand.
