10 Tips to Get Started with Python!

10 Tips to Get Started with Python!

A Beginner Guide/Roadmap to learn Python

1) Documentation

Never Ever Ignore documentation of any language.

This is the official guide to learn that language.

Python Docs are well written and detailed, it gives you deep knowledge about the syntax and the working of different things.

-> Official Python Documentation

2) Choose an Editor

If you are a beginner and want to learn Python without doing the installation part then go to "Google Colab" and start coding.

I personally prefer the VSCode Editor for the coding part :)

-> Google Colab

3) Choose a Tutorial

Sometimes it gets difficult to learn only from the Documentation and we need Video Tutorials to make things easier.

My Three Recommendations -

1) InfyTQ Platform by Infosys

2) FreeCodeCamp

3) Python For Everybody (Coursera )

4) Do Basic Things First

Never skip the basics part.

I know you know the logic of swapping two numbers already.

But believe me, hands-on implementation in a different language will make you familiar with the syntax without learning it.

5) Never Stuck for Syntax

I repeat NEVER stuck for the syntax, you're NOT supposed to memorize it.

Just make programs, small projects and you will get eventually familiar with them without memorizing them.

6) Go and see the Previous lesson again

Do not shy to Google or looking at the previous lesson again if you are getting some problems.

It is totally OKAY :)

7) Make Projects

Try to implement the basic things you have learned in a practical way by making a simple project.

Even if you have learned only the If-else loop you can make a project like a quiz etc.

Here are some ideas-

8) Explore

The tutorials/documentation will give you an start to Python.

After clearing the basics, DON'T STOP THERE.

Make full use of it, explore various fields in which Python can be implemented.

9) Find your Interest

Python has a very vast implementation-

-Automation -Data Science -Machine Learning -Web Development -Virtual Chatbots -etc

Never get into a field just because everyone is doing that, try to find the best field for you and GIVE YOUR 100% in it.

10) Community

From the tutorial site to various Social Media platforms.

Find like-minded people of your interest, interact with them.

Make Connections ( THE MOST IMPORTANT THING)

Collaborate and Grow Together!!
