r/PythonLearning

I am a college student. I learn knowledge from teachers at school, yet I struggle a lot when writing codes in practice. I have also taken courses on YouTube, but I still find it tough to code on my own. Now I really don’t know how to learn programming well.

I have been seeing loads of reel on insta this days for coder, where they talk about bugs n fixing bugs, but in real term what is bug, i have been writing codes/script it never failed the pipeline so what actually trigger a bug or they call it fixing bug

A few months ago I used to spend almost my whole day gaming, and honestly I felt like I was wasting a lot of time.

One day I decided to finally change that.

I uninstalled my custom Minecraft client — something I had spent a huge amount of time on 😭

At first it felt terrible because I thought I wasted so much effort and time.

Then I started watching random programming videos without really knowing what I was doing.

Eventually I found a roadmap video, searched for a Python course, and started learning with Bro Code’s Python course.

Since then I’ve been trying to learn consistently and build projects instead of only watching tutorials.

At the same time, I started building my first Python project 👇

https://github.com/mohamed-hisham-swidan/game-project/blob/main/README.md

While building it I learned:

• basic OOP
• JSON save systems
• Git/GitHub
• debugging
• project structure

I still have a lot to learn, but I’m happy that I finally started building real things instead of just consuming content all day 😅

I am 15M, I make a few hundred dollars currently off minecraft but I don't see that as a viable source of income in the future. I want to get started on programming to get a head start. I am doing olevel and will be doing alevel soon. I hope to score scholarship for alevel based on my grades but I know scholarships for universities are harder to get in my country so I thought of learning a coding language to make myself a portfolio.

I have being into skriptlang and learnt python 2 years ago. My foundation are shaky and I have forgotten most of it. Can someone recommend some youtube playlist which can help me learn basic python. I know just watching will be no good and I will need to practice but I need to build up my basics first.

Edit: I am doing bro code python course and then going to make some basic python projects. Numpy and madlib (i didn't get the name right) are the frameworks, imma learn. My goal is to make some physics simulation programs as they seem fun..

Idk how it sounds but I’m planning to start Python completely from scratch and eventually move into AI/ML, GenAI, Data Engineering, and scalable systems with tools like PySpark, Docker, Kubernetes, FastAPI, cloud, etc.

Can someone suggest a proper roadmap for this journey? Also looking for the BEST YouTube tutorials, playlists, Udemy courses Idc even it’s time consuming. Pretty please !!

i've been writing code or playing with it for decades. Never bothered to use git except to get projects to install and run for ages. I never coded with anyone else, juset me, myself, and I so it didn't seem too important. The last year or two i started using it. I just now, since i have to learn it because i started a job as an intern. Instantly I knew how important it was. Now after learning an hour in....holy crap. I can see every commit, for every version or branch and why for an entire mature codebase. That's the best teaching tool ever. I can legit step through the entire pypi library. Nothing cooler that I've learned to date.

hi, ive recently started to learn Python as my first coding language. And to be honest, i wasn't really serious about it. Because i used to do simple stuff that i enjoyed such as a Cubic Equation Solver. It may not be as efficient (not including imports which directly solve it), but it was fun.

but finally, i tried to do something which is useful for me. That is, a calorie counting program.

i believe i spent like 5 hours continuosly, really invested, and learning new terms.

I still plan on adding more features such as:

Including Fats
Increase food dictionary
allow plural forms of food.
Adding more words for "yes"
Make sub-dictionaries for different types of foods, with sub-dictionaries within it for servings (might get too complicated)

Feel free to test it out!

i dont know anything about coding with pyton but i want to learn how to do it. when i check tutorials their pythons looks diffirent then mine. mine is j ust like aa p lain text file but heirs has fetaures they have commandss they can use shown or something like that idk. i dont know where to start

I say it's the only way to code. Especially with ML, data science, or AI. Others may have different views.
