Ask HN: What tips you have to learn Python?
Hello HN, I am 30, changing career to coding. My current job sucks, am not interested in my current job. I am noob to programming. What do you suggest?
- vxxzy 9y agoGo grab "Learn Python the Hard Way" [1] [1]: https://learnpythonthehardway.org/ https://learnpythonthehardway.org/
- malux85 9y agoI recommend this to many friends as it’s a great resource, but I have to always apologise for the name every time I recommend it, I wish it would re-brand, I turn the apology into a joke, but I feel like it’s still off-putting
- danso 9y agoThe best free (and purchaseable) book out there for novices-to-intermediates is "Automating the Boring Stuff with Python". Not only is it well-written, it captures the main gist of why programming is useful in a variety of life's use cases: https://automatetheboringstuff.com/ https://automatetheboringstuff.com/
- Teichopsia 9y agoTough, you mention Python specifically, related question was posted a few days ago. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15946136 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15946136
- 0x54MUR41 9y agoI also recommend this thread [0]. This thread has same question, kind of "Python 101". One of the answer suggested for beginner, intermediate, and advance levels. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15932381 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15932381
