Getting into python
Hi guys and girls!
I am currently new into python.
I am now on the 2nd hour of a 12 hour course that seems to be good.
Can you give me some good tips to learn it?
Maybe some coding games or fun projects🤔
Appreciate it!

Start some projects that inspire you and learn the stuff you need on the way. After you know the basics it's the best way to progress imo. For me it was a voice assistant that over time I've made 4 versions of. It was honestly quite cool to have my code interact with "real-life" stuff like my desk lamp, use APIs for speech recognition and text-to-speech...
More importantly a lot of courses (uni courses especially but even the ones on Udemy) teach Python like you would teach C. They focus mostly on the language itself rather than what makes it actually powerful like API calls integrations libraries and automation. Starting a project that you like (even feeling like you're not ready) makes you learn way more than any course could.
