how to begin python - MORICE - 10-12-2024
i have been looking to start coding in python for quite a while now because it seemed fun and you can do a lot in it (also maybe any of the c family)
is there a general place you guys started coding in python and could you maybe provide me with some good sources to start at? i know html already because my dad taught me when i was 14 and i have been coding in that ever since and have a small understanding of other languages

Best way is to just start and dive right in. I would recommend using chatgpt as you are able to let it teach you in whatever ways you want.
You can ask it to explain it in "beginners terms" etc so its easy to follow through

try to print hello world, after that look up beginner exercises, for example how to make for loops and if statements etc etc. then try building a snake game using a youtube video or something it helps you understand the python syntax very quickly
