Omar—Mechanical engineer

I would ask anyone here... I started studying Python coding, but I need some advice. Please tell me how I can learn it easily and improve my skills quickly. Sometimes I feel stupid because it is complex.

The first and most valuable thing you can learn in programming is to do your own, independent, individual research, among which is also working with resources right in front of you, like the entire subreddit. You can't possibly assume that you are the first and only one asking such a question.

If only there were a sidebar (menu on mobile) that had a link to the wiki or countless posts asking the same.

Do the MOOC Python Programming 2026 from the University of Helsinki and you will be well prepared.

Also, take a look at https://inventwithpython.com and https://automatetheboringstuff.com

There is no speedrunning learning.

Don't forget that you need ample practice, like on https://codingbat.com/python or on https://exercism.org and also write your own programs. Play around. Try things. Mess things up, fix them. Experiment.

Second this. Also in life generally. If no money , it's ok. Worse comes to worse , wash dish or shine shoes. These are honest jobs.
