I've been learning python for a month and can understand most of the code i see on github.

How long until I should switch to another language to learn? I decided to learn python first just so I could mess around with some ideas in my head before learning harder frameworks/languages. I've been spending 2hours a day non stop for over 30 days, constantly trying to master the basic basics of everything, now whenever I see python code it doesn't look like some alien gibberish lol
When would be a good time to invest into other languages? I feel like a bit more competent than basic one will be able to navigate through documentation fairly well.
what did you do? im curious to hear your programming mastery journey

Congrats on your achievements,you're an inspiration for some of us here.
Did you have any background in programing,maths or anything related or it was your first time?

Not really, I tried to learn programming before when i was very young. like 13 or 14 but at that time I wanted to play professional sports instead.
I believe its a skill many could learn depending on your discipline. Even if you're not passionate about it, to me it didn't feel like learning to speak or write another language but knowing how to play chess or doing puzzles. just because of how you conceptualize things instead of memorizing. For example when you use for loops in dictionaries, theres a syntax you follow but you don\t really remember the step by step you just remember which piece to put in which place. it takes time to develop.
I feel like the older more experienced fellas know more im still a beginner though and python is known to be very relaxed .

Why do you need to learn other languages? If you inderstand the core concepts of programing you shouldn't struggle with any langage.. ok maybe some really low level langaged.

Put your python knowledge into good use, being able to read other people good is useless on its own.

Unless you are a genious you will soon find that you know nothing. The deeper you go the less you know. Welcome to the belle curve.

yes I still feel like a newbie though. Eventually python is all i would need, but i want to mess around with other frameworks/libraries outside of python. One idea i have is to try botting mmorpgs, and i feel like python would work well but other languages would make it more robust .

Took me lots of my free times to master python in a span of 4 years. Good for you my friend!

I swore a few years ago i would never learn because of the tabs! lol, Now I'm happily programming api's and Django sites in it. Bit help now from open ai, which has made things easier, obviously. But I can turn my hand to PHP (what I started in, and c# too, I need to just brush up on my templating HTML/css skills now though and make sure I have a master on that before I can land a job doing full-time programming hopefully.

Switch after 2-3 years to C or another low-level lang. After you feel comfortable with both you will be able to do pretty much whatever you want with a computer.

I learned python because I want to create a script that will reveal the identity of the hacker who hacked my girlfriend's Facebook account.
in two weeks l learned python, created the script, and knew who did it. and since that time when I hear python I get goosebumps. This programming language changed my life.

and because of this language, I was also able to change my shitty country!

What do you want to do? There are so many languages today, but while most of them are zoomer garbage, the others generally have specific use-cases.
If you want to do web stuff you should go with JS and its variants, php and its frameworks, django, etc
If you want to be a real man, do some firmware for embedded devices and electronics, or just understand better how a computer works, you should learn C.
If you're insane and into hurting yourself, you should learn JAVA.

I go along with some of the comments here.
I do not see the need to learn other languages if you do not need it. It's like maybe a Phone Repairer buying Laptop repair tools for no good reason.

What I would suggest is to come up with a real life useful idea for a project. And use your current skills to work on it. If you come across a feature that would be easier to implement in a different language.... Example: (To me, Instant messaging using Sockets is easier with Socket.io). THen you can go ahead to learn that language too.

And move on from there

Do a search for 'python challenges' on google... and work on them. Code not looking like gibberish is one thing, being able to solve problems with code is something else. Start thinking about another language once you have gained some mastery in python. As for myself, coding in python has put the meat and potatoes on my dining table for the last 15 years!

Do not switch to another language.

Stick to one! I recommend C# , JavaScript or Python.
Do challenges on Hacker Rank / Leet Code...

When You "master" / "learn" specific "programming language" switch to framework based on that language, e.g. for C# - ASP.NET, Python - Django / Flask...

It really depends on what is your passion.. Data Analyst? Web Developer? Engineer?

Just to state that programming isn't for everyone. Only 3% of the world are programmers are actually employed and programming thought is very scarce due to this. Kudos to you for learning so fast not everyone can do this just so you know.

Continue your Python journey, especially since it's speaking to you.

If you're looking for a real challenge and to grow as a programmer you can try a hobby project in C++. Afterward coding in modern scripting languages will be a breeze.

I’m interested in learning. Did you research here or what? Any recommendations/sources

 

[Tlacopan]

I've been putting off learning Python for a long time... It's a long weekend in my country, perhaps a good time to start as any!
