Tips on learning python for complete beginners?

Hello po! I’m currently learning python as a career shifter and I’m struggling :((( Palagi kong nakakalimutan yung code and I feel like nothing sticks in my brain. Parang I’m not learning anything. Do you have any tips po ba on how to learn python? Any resources po na maganda gamitin? Any study tips din for self-learners like me? Thank you so much!

Hala I’m also like this hahahah Don’t worry though because that’s normal! Struggling is normal in the beginning naman hehe. My advice is to take it easy, and work on small projects muna when you begin learning to code. Its’ easy to get stuck in tutorial kasi so it’s much better to work on projects agad. Tapos when you forget some of the codes, feel free to use google (even chatgpt if that’s your thing!). No shame there :))

The important thing is that you’re learn even if it’s slow and painful. Kaya mo yannn!

Use chatgpt to generate the code you need, then reverse engineer. This is how i learn python coding/troubleshooting. No shame in doing so + it’s more efficient if you have a time-bound project - make the (gpt-ied) code work first then learn it later.

Ooohh this is an interesting method! I was kind of hesitant to use AI to help me learn before because I thought I wouldn’t learn to think independently, but now that you mentioned it, this might work better for me! Thank you so much @tmendoza! Will do this in my future learning sprints :grin:
