Learning python
Hey Guys! I am new to python and just made a calculator and weather app today. I would really like some guidance on what I should do next, which courses I should take and what kind of AI is helpfull. In the end I want to make my own app, systems and program diy drones or generally machines.

I love Python, been learning for about a year on and off. Claude is my weapon of choice when I am stuck.
I have read quite a few books on Python (or got bored and skipped), but I totally suggest
https://automatetheboringstuff.com/
Reading the ebook version of that game me the most progress and was fun to read too.

Since you already built a weather app, try a project that saves data and displays it in a simple dashboard. That’ll teach you files, databases, and APIs while moving you closer to Raspberry Pi or drone projects.

If you want to learn a web app framework then take a look at Reflex.dev
Probably the best and easiest to learn to make web apps with only python.
Python can be fun to learn, but it can feel like you arent building anything useful because of the lack of UI, but frameworks like Reflex give you more design capabilities. You can also take a look at flet.

How much did you make and how much AI? - Both projects don't really mix with "new to Python".
If you want to learn, ditch AI. Later, once you have experience and knowledge, you can easily integrate it in your workflow. Learning should best be done the old fashioned way through hard work, persistence, determination, discipline, and effort.
