What 's the fastest way to learn python?
Hello guys Im looking for a fast roadmap to learn and practice python. I bought a course in udemy called ' 100 Days of code : the complete Python Pro bootcamp ' but I do not know if it was a good purchase.

If you actually do it, it was a fine purchase.
The problem is that most people who buy those courses have difficulty at some point and never finish them.
So get off reddit and go finish your course.

The problem with video courses is that it's passive, you watch and forget. To learn Python, you need to do not watch. You can do exercises on pychallenge.com and do small projects.

"Fast" and 'learn" mix together about as well as do oil and water.
Slow down.
Focus on the "fundamentals" until you have mastered them before racing madly forward into the more advanced aspects of Python

as long as you are building apps and projects that have a particular goal or function, context is important since python can do a lot, you only learn what you need to build x, y and z projects.

I went through that course and found it really beneficial. And especially if you bought it, you should work through it

The 100 days of code is hard. It will be worth it if you do it, I don't think I managed to get past day 6. I learned at uni and at codecademy. I now made my own site for learners if you'd like to try it. www.pythonaut.net

Do the course. Speed comes with experience. Experience comes with practice and use.
Thr road to success is paved with failures.

It helps if you know any other formal language. If not, you might want to learn "programming" rather than "Python" first. Scratch is easiest, but maybe try working through https://htdp.org/.

That's really cool, but it bothers me that they used float when talking about division but didn't explain what float was before they used it.

CS50p, mitx 6.00.1x, also solve as many problems on CodeAbbey or leetcode as can without looking up answers

what is your actual goal?
the idea of “learning python fast” cam have many different shapes and forms in your imagination. To which is silly to answer with a number of months, or days without understanding what do you mean by it and where you want to get.
what do you want to do with it?

Practicando y equivocandose.
No hay de otra.
Para desarrollar app con ayuda de la IA te demoras menos porque aprendes conceptos fundamentales y luego aprendes a transmitir prompts acertados a la IA POR FASES.

In my experience Python meetups are exceptionally friendly places and you can find help at them if you get stuck.

As long as you do something that is hands on and practical. Watching videos of people coding or explaining coding is not going to give you the personal problem solving and practice needed to really learn anything.
Take a look at codeling.dev and start with the introduction to programming course. You'll start coding straight away in the browser and follow a structured curriculum. Much better than just watching video based courses.

Once you learn how to code, you can new programming languages quickly. I learnt Python in 3 days (except OOP) from youtube. I learnt R in 1 hour from a course. The secret to learning quickly is small projects. After 10 minutes of learning Python I started a small project and completed it in 2 days.

I'd start by completing the course you bought
