Hi, I'm super beginner and want to know how to start

Question

Hello, I have zero knowledge, but super motivated, I'm starting with phyton! What are your recommendations?? Sorry my English! I'm native Spanish hehe

Answer 1

You seem to be off to a good start since you completed Intro to Python and started Python Intermediate. Ultimately, the languages you focus on will depend on your goals. Myself, I am an IT professional so I try to focus on Python. I also use WordPress a lot so I also need to know HTML/CSS/SQL and PHP.

Instead of moving on to other languages right away after you complete Intermediate Python, I would suggest attempting some of the code challenges available here on SL. It's a great way to practice what you have learned.

Answer 2

Good to hear, motivation is important when learning coding. My recommendation:

Don't rush learning. When you learn new concepts in the lessons, practice them in the Python Code Playground in Sololearn(or a local IDE).
Practicing regularly keeps the info in memory. As you're learning, you can make simple code projects like: a loop for counting numbers, a basic calculator, unit converter and more.

You can watch some free tutorials to learn more info which aren't covered here(or more in-depth info about things you've learned) like this:

There are "Code Challenges" available in the Community section(switch to it from bottom of the app) where you can challenge people and you'll get quiz with some questions about Python, which will test your knowledge.

If your code has errors when running, do not worry to much! It is a common thing for pretty much every programmer, debugging it with the help of the error log is what would test one of the core skills of programming in you.

Answer 3

I recommend making a small and simple code everytime you learn new stuff and try to use them in the code, I do it when learning.
