python VS materials

So, I’m fairly new to this group and I dare say that I am addicted. I have always had a deep love for computers plus I have always loved figuring out how things work. I am almost 37 years old and am in the process of learning how to code on Python. My eventual goal is to get paid to write code whether that be freelance or for a company. Right now though, I am looking for any coding boot camps or coding dojos that you all could recommend. I was just turned on to https://exercism.org/tracks/python and I wonder what other learning avenues there are that I haven’t discovered. Send me any thing that helped you learn or that you feel would’ve helped you learn when you were just starting out. I really appreciate it.

(this is great practice too: https://exercism.org/tracks/python , this will help a lot too: https://www.coursera.org/specializations/discrete-mathematics )

Sign up for this website and join the Python learning track. It will help you to get started.

https://exercism.org/tracks/python is also pretty good.

Exercism is a great place to go for more programming practice while you're learning during a course: https://exercism.org/tracks/python

It won't take you a year to learn, just remember the more code you write the faster it is you get better https://exercism.org/tracks/python because you will be reading the language documentation and figuring it out as you go. It will be slow at first but in a week of doing just little problems over and over using different containers and features of the language you'll do fine and remember what you learned because you figured it all out yourself.

Python - Python.org - Official Python website with documentation and tutorials. - Codecademy Python Course - Real Python - Python tutorials and articles for all skill levels.

I am no expert on facial recognition software but I read over an article on https://realpython.com. The site might be a little pricey (to some) but a few people in my Python group highly recommended it. It does have a ton of good tutorials.

Real Python

https://realpython.com/ is an excellent source. You can find there the building blocks of Python, explanations, hints, and tips.

Check out RealPython they were a great resource for me when I first started with Python. Linux skills will always be in demand too, though you might not necessarily find a job for both Python and Linux but I'm sure many exist. When you build a project make sure to document it and have a GitHub page for it, in a way your GitHub will serve as your resume in the software engineering space so take time to learn the platform and Git. More than likely you will also use GitHub or another VCS on the job so it's worth trying to understand.

Website: Real Python - Free docs are good
