Well done man you are the one who starts learning python many of them didn't start because they think coding is hard but it's very easy.
Be consistent....

Coding is easy depends ln what you are coding.

I know this may be obvious but when you want to learn a new topic make it enjoyable, when you're learning a bigger topic for example like classes. Make in in a project you'd enjoy making or else you will be bored and burned out

I've been working with Python for a decade, since I'm a full stack Python is not full time, what I would recommend is learn to play with the environments, understand the architecture of the applications you're working on.
Python isn't hard, It's really good for AI/ML projects and quick CRUD BE servers. Hit me up if any of you have any questions.

I'm also relearning python but for some reason my interprerer isn't co-operating..
What IDE are you using?

I actually suggest you using Claude code. It will make you're like really easier. Also vs code is better than pycharm, i suggest you to try it

u/Katinkia Sep 25 '26
Congrats. I used pycharm for a while but use VSC now mostly.
Can I recommend my site to you - it has lots of little python projects and built in ide.

Hey! Since you're learning Python, what resources are you using to learn?
2
u/AffectionateCold1716 Oct 14 '26
YouTube tutorials from free code camp and Brocode and lots of personal practice

u/alpglo Sep 26 '26
I want to start learning too. I know nothing about it. What would you recommend is the very number 1 step?

u/Tough_Duty_9061 Sep 26 '26 edited Sep 26 '26
Learn variables strings and basic predefined functions like print learn if/else And for actually learning source search up codewithharry if u know hindi(recomended) and mosh if english then slowly go up the ladder if u already have vs code or any ide download the python package from python.org then use it in ide as u know it

Please take the course by Harvard University- HarvardX: CS50's Introduction to Programming with Python
It’s a free course and also get certification, it’s a open ware course - if you need audited credentials for your university credit they can be transferred- a basic but good place to start

You need to start writing code right away and learn to solve small problems.
geeksforgeeks.org
It contains many ideas for projects and their solutions.1

u/COLLLOrs Oct 04 '26
think of a project that seems simple to make does not matter if you know code or not, and when you find something you don't know search it up. Also have w3schools at the ready for refrences

Really good. it's really easy to master the python syntax. The real problem is still the logic and software architecture in a python way. If you're seriously planning to build in python, It's really nice to learn it through any serious projects like you learn things in a hard way, but you'll still have a curiosity to learn things beyond just syntax. I learned python like that 5 years ago with simple automation projects ( used official documentations as reference ) and, even after doing AI based coding for last 1 year, I didn't forgot the core logic or even syntax - like I can still build things without AI if I really wanted to.

Thats very good decision you have made its a.i boom in market it doesn't means that we are helpless actually a.i is very helpfull when you need speed it helps you to find bugs and helps you to write fast but idea is initially human's idea to build something and having python knowledge with purpose is very good decision keep it up 👍

First you will learn the basics.thrb which library you want to learn because there may be a chance that in coming days ai would takeover so better to learn statistics and algebra and maths then ai related libraries

Congratulations I am going to start today… am in 50s. Better late than never as the saying goes

I am 30, from non technical background, maybe I will never crack the job but still learning python and backend

I learned python a month ago made some small projects with it and yesterday and completed my first password manager full stack web application all on my own no AI or tutorials super proud of it

u/FatalException804 Sep 27 '26
Well done and best of luck.
A suggestion, ignore the hype and learn the fundamentals. if you get stuck on a problem try to do it yourself at least for an hour or two and may be then you can look for hint.
Don't fall into tutorial hell. keep things simple. even a CRUD app is better if you do it yourself rather than building a netflix clone and not understanding even 10% of it.
Last but not the least and even more important than coding. learn the debugging and remember errors are good.
Hope it helps and please excuse my english. it's not my first language so...

And also we need some people to start discuss. Also make sure what are you willing to become. So you know the way to the finish line

Good job, consistency is the key, keep practicing more and more.
If you want to try a free and an useful resource, checkout www.pythonmastery.io, you can use it in any device, it removes the limits of working from computer at home, you can keep learning while travelling too 😉
Anyways, happy learning!!

It's definitely not too late. I think a lot of people get stuck because they're comparing themselves to people who started programming when they were kids, but you don't need to have started early to become good at it.
The important thing is that you've finally decided to start. You don't need to know exactly where this will lead or become great at Python overnight. Just keep learning, build things that interest you, and let yourself improve over time. A year from now, you'll probably be glad you didn't spend another year worrying about whether you were too late.

Sure thing. Getting someone to learn along with is a really good motivator

Which tutorial are you currently following? Brocode?

u/AffectionateCold1716 Sep 25 '26
How does it compare to the other free tutorials?

Sep 25 '26
These are best

u/kutac56 Sep 26 '26
No tutorial is best. They're all good enough. You only need tutorials for very basics then you start making stuff yourself

I am mostly watching YouTube tutorials and trying them out myself. Sometimes it gets monotonous so I hop on bootdev and try my hands there too. Just to spice things up. I like how game like they make the lesson process

u/AffectionateCold1716 Sep 29 '26
Bootdev comes I think with some lesson. I’m really at the beginner stages but basically it explains what stuff is then it provides some assignments for you to do. Like fixing a simple syntax error in a code or print a text. Stuff like that. And it gets progressively harder. So far it satisfies my ADHD brain

CodeDex is paid? So far for Bootdev I haven’t gotten to a paywall yet. So I don’t know if it is. So my process is tutorials - practice on my own(with concepts I’ve learnt from the tut - bootdev(when I’m bored)

Yeah that sucks. Which is why my main place of learning is YouTube. Some recommend the Harvardx cs50 course but I haven’t tried it. So far I am not even done with one full YouTube tut. Maybe after I am done and some concepts are not clear I’ll check it out.

That’s what they say. But I don’t want to develop the habit of jumping tutorials. If the one I’m currently learning is easy for me to understand I’ll stick with it until it’s no longer helpful
