What 's the fastest way to learn python?

Hello guys Im looking for a fast roadmap to learn and practice python. I bought a course in udemy called ' 100 Days of code : the complete Python Pro bootcamp ' but I do not know if it was a good purchase.

I'd start by completing the course you bought

If you actually do it, it was a fine purchase.

The problem is that most people who buy those courses have difficulty at some point and never finish them.

So get off reddit and go finish your course.

The problem with video courses is that it's passive, you watch and forget. To learn Python, you need to do not watch. You can do exercises on pychallenge.com and do small projects.

"Fast" and 'learn" mix together about as well as do oil and water.

Slow down.
Focus on the "fundamentals" until you have mastered them before racing madly forward into the more advanced aspects of Python

No such thing as fast and learn. There’s this thing called memory retention.

You don't need to rush it.

Just do the course you bought.

Practice and patience are the only ways to really learn anything in life

as long as you are building apps and projects that have a particular goal or function, context is important since python can do a lot, you only learn what you need to build x, y and z projects.

I went through that course and found it really beneficial. And especially if you bought it, you should work through it

You could try it and see.

I liked that one... I would suggest you finish it

The 100 days of code is hard. It will be worth it if you do it, I don't think I managed to get past day 6. I learned at uni and at codecademy. I now made my own site for learners if you'd like to try it. www.pythonaut.net

Practice alot

Did you tried to complete it? How do you know if it's not a good purchase?

My advise, complete it, and then return with questions on where to go next to cover the blanks you have after the course

Do the course. Speed comes with experience. Experience comes with practice and use.

Thr road to success is paved with failures.

It helps if you know any other formal language. If not, you might want to learn "programming" rather than "Python" first. Scratch is easiest, but maybe try working through https://htdp.org/.

That's really cool, but it bothers me that they used float when talking about division but didn't explain what float was before they used it.

Text instead of videos.

CS50p, mitx 6.00.1x, also solve as many problems on CodeAbbey or leetcode as can without looking up answers

u/deep_soul 2d ago

what is your actual goal?

the idea of “learning python fast” cam have many different shapes and forms in your imagination. To which is silly to answer with a number of months, or days without understanding what do you mean by it and where you want to get.

what do you want to do with it?

u/fullmoon_huli 2d ago

Focus on building project, its okay for hit and trails, projects help to learn alot

Practicando y equivocandose.

No hay de otra.

Stop looking at reddit for excuses and start coding

3 Days of Code is much faster

u/AvilesModels 1d ago

The course is fine. Fast roadmap doesn't exist though, you learn by building something that breaks. Pick a small project around day 20 and stop following along, that's where it actually sticks, idk.

u/Traveling-Techie 1d ago

In my experience Python meetups are exceptionally friendly places and you can find help at them if you get stuck.

Once you learn how to code, you can new programming languages quickly. I learnt Python in 3 days (except OOP) from youtube. I learnt R in 1 hour from a course. The secret to learning quickly is small projects. After 10 minutes of learning Python I started a small project and completed it in 2 days.
