Good evening all

Researching ideas on the forum and elsewhere, I think it's a good idea to learn Phyton, even to work for someone to get the income in whilst I become better at other money making ideas.

It's good reading others post etc but I wanna learn something whilst got free time and be worthwhile so be end up like some of the top guys on here and hopefully when learning, I get more ideas.

Could you share who/what you learnt from? I've got a couple of courses from Udemy - but from searching around, other say they ain't the best.

Thank you kindly

I don't know about Udemy but i believe that it should be fine fine for you to grasp the basics (of Python and, most importantly, programming in general). Just make sure you understand the core concepts of programming (functions, classes (if OOP), types, etc. ) and a some good bit about networking and OSs. After you feel comfortable with this, my suggestion is to come up with a cool personal project idea and have a shot at implementing it. Don't be too perfectionist at first, because, as a beginner , you'll 100% suck hahah. But the next time you work on another project, you'll probably avoid some mistakes and so you start surfing the learning curve like McNamara!

Make sure the personal project you throw yourself at is something that really interests you (either related to some hobby of yours, or some tool that will make some task easier for you. so basically: either something useful TO YOU or something related to your passions). This important so you stay motivated along the way.
 
The only thing I want to add to @Mald0r0r 's post above is to learn step by step and implement it the same way.
Learn the basics: variables, functions, conditionals (if, else, elif), loops(for, while). For every new thing that you learn, create a small file.py and put what you learned in that file. Execute it. Find mistakes, correct them, move on.
One small snippet at a time.
 
I learned from Code Academy. They have a decent monthly plan that gives you access to all that modules. I really enjoyed it honestly. But I can say that once you know the basics, the only way you really start to create your own scripts and stuff is just doing stuff yourself. ChatGPT was a godsend for this stuff. Pretty much ask it to generate whatever code you need, and ask it to leave comments in the code, or ask it questions about certain lines of code etc.

You're really going to wanna learn the basics though including how to use Github like cloning repos, uploading your own repos, updating them, etc. Oh and learning the command line (CLI) is a MUST. LMK if you have any questions!

There's also these threads, which contain python automation tutorials & resources:

The best way for me to learn is to pick a project idea and start building it. If I dont know something then I learn while building it. Its a lot more practical and you will eventually become really good at problem solving
 
Cheers all. Started today! Appreciate the advice and links :)
 
If you want I can send you some pdfs of the newest books about python. However it's good to specialize in something. What do you want to use python for? There are many options: webdevelopment (flask, django or streamlit for small projects), data science, machine learning, automation, game development (godot uses python, but for bigger games it's better use C++/C#), hacking/pentesting.
 
Definitely, you have to try tapping into some API and displaying a web project in some sort of cool graphic or public UI dashboard. There are lots of opportunities to create sites that are visual from boring text and numbers in API, and it's a good experience to work with API if you are seeking employment, as everyone is using a form of it in some way.
 
It's definitely useful to learn python, but I believe there is enough free content to watch and read about it instead of paying courses

Yes please, if you don't mind. I'm unable to PM atm, not sure if it works the other way round and you're able to PM me? - Not entirely sure what I'll use python for, but thought I'd learn whilst browning the forums etc so hopefully give me some ideas. Thank you

If you are a total beginner then you should really consider checking out the official Python guide, there is no replacement. It covers the most basic topics, and was written by the man who created Python.

https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/index.html
 
I'm new to Python. Learn the basic commands in Python, and try to do something without third-party libraries to understand how these commands interact. Then move on to studying libraries. You need to decide what direction you will work in: website development, automation development, working with APIs. To create your own libraries for each direction, you don’t need to study everything. You need to decide what exactly you will do and gain experience
 
Nah, Udemy is really good, especially if you got yourself one of those top courses with a rating of more than 4.5 . These "other" people who say udemy is not good, 9 times out of 10, wanna sell their own course priced at 100 dollars at the very least.
