[Python] - starting out as a beginner

Jeff Vh · Oct 29, 2020

Hey fam

I reallyyy want to learn Python, but with so many options to choose from, I just don’t know where to start.

I’m looking for an interactive learning platform, preferably with videos and real-life projects.

Any recommendations?

thanks in advance

I learned python only by seeing other programs and trying to change them or improve them.
Literally everything I needed I found on the internet, if you know how to search.

Never used any video nor any learning course or platform.
And now anytime I need any software, I just code it myself.
Hope it helps a bit

Install python on your machine, go to GitHub, pick any python project that interests you, run it and try to modify it. Google will tell you how to do it.

What is your purpose for learning python? For writing scripts, bots, or data science?
Personally, I think the best way is to just read up on the documentation, and browse StackOverflow if you're stuck lmao.
And if you really want an interactive platform, maybe try Codecademy or something to learn syntax.

If you want free resources, you can use these free courses from youtube:

Just an overall understanding of the subject and see what it is capable of doing. Thank you, will check stackoverflow

Thank you very much. Both seem like very interesting videos and the ebook has a very catching title, will statt reading it.

Code academy for the basics is a decent shout. I used it a while back. Its all interactive with some nice tasks to get you started

I’m completely new to anything related to programming, do you use GitHub to build your bot? How do you do that? Copy code and translate it to your own project?

DataCamp is pretty good. I've been using it to keep in practice in Python and R. It has a code compiler that runs whatever code you write in the console, plus videos. The learning is gentle but you do learn with so much practice. They have projects, evaluations and more, hundreds of courses on all kinds of platforms - kinda geared toward data science but you can learn to code. It's about 12 dollars a month if you invest in a year's training. If you want a free route just go to Youtube or Kahn Academy.

Just looked at their site, looks promising, thank you

Python'u yalnızca diğer programları görerek ve onları değiştirmeye veya geliştirmeye çalışarak öğrendim.
Kelimenin tam anlamıyla ihtiyacım olan her şeyi internette buldum, eğer nasıl aranacağını biliyorsanız.

Asla herhangi bir video veya herhangi bir öğrenme kursu veya platformu kullanmadım.
Ve şimdi ne zaman herhangi bir yazılıma ihtiyacım olsa, onu kendim kodluyorum.
Umarım biraz yardımcı olur
[/ ALINTI]

What are you doing with python now ?
Does it make you money ?
I wonder.

Nice choice.. good luck!

Plenty of sources and books.. I would recommend reading a book or two.. then jump on coding examples.. don't try to memorize code .. understand the logic.

do you go to a shoe store and try on every shoe before you buy?
there's thousands of beginner courses on youtube.
watch 3 or 4
stick with the 1 that resonates with you best

I used to do Telegram where I made my own registering, authorizing (into TG API) and inviting software, also scraping one (I would say better than 99% of the sellers)
Sold it to a few people but only privately, never made any big money programming for someone or anything.
Always did software for myself, barely used Python for last 6 months as I left Telegram, then PHP for my business websites, but atm decided to make an adult related bot, so have Python opened at the moment.

Ye makes sense. Currently going to read ‘automating the boring stuff’ and watching some long ytb tutorials. This should probably be a step in the right direction.

Watch the updated version of "automating the boring stuff" that book has a lot of interesting knowledge but u have to apply it from building simple to complex projects

This is another good source of free knowledge

Oh I can indeed just watch this book on ytb.

thank you
