Just my little tip on how to learn Python the easy way ☑️

Great share Sartre.
Python was the first language i started to learn before focusing more on javascript. I have been thinking of revisiting python after seeing how people here
are applying it to the web, particularly for automation.

I find books to be more useful for comprehension of the topic and videos for seeing how it's done and as a foundation for my own ideas. As long as you're
applying what you're watching and not just copy/pasting everything it's helpful.

JS is a great lang.

Same here. I prefer learning from books. And it's also cheaper (or free really)

i wanted to learn to try some basic python code. it will help me a lot. thanks for this

Thanks for this wonderful share.
Is python a good programming language to learn for build web application compared to Javascript.

Automate boring stuff is really a good book to learn python.

But the thing I am not consistent.

Been thinking about learning Python in some free time. Thanks for sharing this and streamlining my learning @Sartre

Persistence is key. Either do it or don't. That book is easy AF.

Do you feel learning some Python would better my experience learning jS?

Rookie questions

Thanks for the thread, programming side of BHW is getting resourceful

i want to learn automatation processes, so iguess this will help me. Thank you!

Thanks for the share

Actually, videos are hard to follow for anyone, I am afraid.
But people like to watch videos, because it allows to spend time pretending that they are learning something new.
Never in my life have I met a professional who learned his skills by watching videos.

100% True. Especially with YT, you start with a python video and three hours later you end up watching somebody's cat.

But I must say I learned Python with udacity.com. They combine videos and readings but very short chunks are covered I think a minute or so.
They explain something then you get to solve the problem. It was perfect for me everything else was a struggle. It was Computer science 101 with python or something like that.
Guy worked for Google as I remember and the whole course was set as a project of building a google-like search engine. It's a joke compared to google of course but a still nice touch.
But what I liked the best is it was actually Computer science with python so you really learn some foundations of CS and pick up python along the way. They had two more python courses but not as good.
Especially I didn't like OOP with python it was rushed and the guy was giving a vibe he knows even less than me. And I wasn't even a hobbyist level then.
it was completely free as a bunch of others. Also, Harvard's CS50 is all over YT for free and is great as far as videos go.

My second was the SoloLearn android app because you could do it anywhere, and also follows small chunks methodology. It's really basic and great for beginners.
There is a bunch of new apps lately maybe there is a better one. It has a subscription plan but I didn't bother I think it doesn't get any better.

definitely not. Learning a "lower level" language like C or Java will make JS easier, IMO. Python is higher-level than JS.

I started learning python 3 times already LOL, lets see if i will do it this time following this

great share indeed
the only language i have learned a bit on the past was php, but was in about 2007 so i did not using for a long time and i forget everthing lol

sorry my english, not my main language

Interesting learning technique,I'm interested in learning Python programming.ty

found a pretty cool video that might help people with general programming roadmap:

If you start learning to code and then stop.... then start some years later it's usually because you don't have good books.
I recommend the following two books or series/authors

"JAVA: How to Program " by Deitel

"Introduction to Java" by Daniel Liang - make sure it is the "Comprehensive" editon, not the brief

The Deitel series has C# and Python too.
These books really teach you.

In terms of videos, go to udemy and look for a guy called MOSH... he really explains things well

Good luck

YESSS. the Mosh guy is legit!

The first rule of learning a language is learning variables. Then functions. And boom now you know. All that remains is to improve yourself.

ngl, you sound like AI dude

This is amazing. I actually have a copy of Automate the Boring Things.

I was wondering, does anyone have a good list like this for JavaScript?
