New To Python!

[Tofou]

Hello everyone, I am just starting to work with Python and the basic concepts of it. I have done Python Syntax, Strings, Console Output,  and am working on Conditionals and Control Flows. I am getting to the point now where I am going to be using functions and I was wondering if anyone had any pointers on easy tricks to remember, things that I can utilize before I actually learn it, or really any help you have for a Python programming beginner. Thanks for all the support guys!

Hi there, I am studying Computer Science and when I was learning Python I found the following sites helped with the basics.

Codecademy is good at it gives you a chance to practice and Wikibooks is good for referencing terms.

Happy Coding!

I am new to Python as well but not new to programming. I find it helpful and often interesting to Google everything even when I know how to do it. Usually someone will have asked the same question on StackOverflow or somewhere else and you can see answers from people who have been using Python for a long time. There are lots of built-in functions and things you would never think of.

Beware that Codecademy's python course is outdated.

I learned it the hard way.

Codeacademy is pretty sweet, I brush up on ruby pretty often.

Dive into Python/Python3 are two good books as well. Both freely available.
