i have seen a few but cant say ive done a deep dive. a lot of the things ive seen seem to be people that have moved slightly up from the noob stage in which i find myself. i will continue to explore on here! i suppose i take for granted that i must find all these fancy online tutors (e.g. harvard cs50) when in reality i should search more elsewhere. thank you!
I can't recommend w3school enough to get a grasp on the basic coding structures. You should take a look at the concepts introduced there, rewrite them in your IDE (the VSCode) and play around it to fully understand them (of you don't understand something, ofc you can always look it up online).
Also if you watch some sort of tutorial, AVOID PASSIVE STUDY!!! You should always try to do something with what you are learning, otherwise you'd be thinking you are learning. That's what we call 'tutorial hell'
Start with browsing the r/learnpython subreddit's wiki for guidance on learning Python, books list, or go for a beginner friendly course which will help break it down for e.g Harvard cs50/weclouddata/ udemy whatever fits u.
Look up this python farming game. I saw somebody link it on Reddit recently I've just too lazy to find it. Basically it's you programming and you're also like farming this little plot of land with little drones based on what you code. It looked really cool and I want to pick it up myself
See how you get on with that. It's a series of tutorials and programming exercises that introduce basic programming concepts (for Python), and slowly build up in complexity. It's self-contained and gives a certificate at the end of the course.
It does start with a "Hello world" warm-up question though (so brace yourself for that); and it only takes you through the initial learning curve of programming though - so you'd have to use this as a starting point for further learning.
that is exactly what im looking for - just the very basics so that i can build a foundation and expand from there. ill check them out! thanks so much for the suggestion!
FreeCodeCamps' Python Certification is pretty good. The challenges are worded a little confusing at times but good for when you're ready to test what you've learned.
definitely a great option! ive used it to help me quite a bit but find it to be misleading from time to time. will still use it as an assistant though. thanks!!
We have all been there along the journey. If it were easy, then it wouldn't be worth it, since you mentioned you downloaded VS Code. I recently launched a Python code mentor extension that breaks down the code you write so that you can actually understand what is going on beneath the scenes. Take learning one day at a time and embrace building actual projects. This gives you the joy of accomplishment once done and gives you the fuel to continue learning, as compared to watching endless tutorials.
Did you look in this sub's wiki, which has a whole list of resources for complete beginners?
Or any of the posts from the last week?
They can't keep getting away with this...

great point, thank you! ive heard of the tutorial hell and will dig myself out of it hahah
As mentioned https://www.w3schools.com/python/you can also run the code interactively and learn it
perfect, thanks so much!
Wiki has links.

I follow.
hahah that sounds awesome i will definitely check it out, thanks for the suggestion!
The university of essex MOOC is good, free and for complete beginners: https://www.essex.ac.uk/short-courses/python-preparation-programme

reddit also has a search function, and it has been asked a lot
try it out
IM SORRY haha please dont hate me
I don't hate you. I may down-vote this negative effort questioning and commentary.
'googled and googled away' sounds like a pile of BS.
ok...thanks for taking the time to comment on this pile of BS. been really helpful.

I’ll check that out! Thanks!
Bro you can start with waching tutorials on yt and then you done with tutorials then make your fun project
I am also learning python
All the best for your programing journey
Thanks, I appreciate it! All the best for your programming journey as well
Hey bro can we build a group for coders everyone can helping each other
Let’s do it!!!
Come in dm bro
ChatGPT ask teach me python from zero. Boom hello world
Not even worth replying, but hell yeah just ask any model to teach U Python
definitely a great option! ive used it to help me quite a bit but find it to be misleading from time to time. will still use it as an assistant though. thanks!!
Uep it is misleading quite often but that's exactly when u learn :)
