Good evening, everyone. I have, but one quick inquiry. What are the best resources in your opinion to learn python by yourself as a complete beginner? Thank you all

    I don’t believe in theoretical learning. find a practical implication, go through the process of implementing it. break wall after wall. this is the way.

      I mostly agree, but if OP has little to no programming experience, they should probably read some software engineering books at some point to learn to structure things properly.

      But don’t do that until your project gets big, like 1000 lines or more than 2 files. Get coding, break stuff, and then find something more structured to fill in the gaps.

        I cannot agree. books kill motivation. results stimulate motivation.

          Right, but at some point you need to build the foundation.

          That’s why I said build something first, and then read a book or two to help structure the application better. Rinse and repeat. If you only build stuff, you’ll waste time on debugging spaghetti code and the project will quickly become more frustrating to work on.
