I want to program in python, where to start?

Question

Programming

Hello dear habralyudi!
I am well versed in different OS and now I wanted to learn how to program. For this, I chose the python programming language. I bought a book , started reading, it seems clear that this or that function gives, but how it looks in the program is not clear. I tried the GUI. Everything is clear, but when I wanted to add something of my own, nothing happens. Maybe you know where you can find examples or some kind of training / video for beginners in Python. Preferably in Russian, but also in English. Interested in QT4 or GTK+ GUI. I am using Ubuntu. Please do not judge strictly, since I'm just a beginner in this, but I really want to program. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

It's strange that no one advised you native Python tutorials :)
By the way, programming is first of all problem solving. Try to formulate the problem, then break it down into steps, and glue the solution step by step from the code.
Good luck in your endeavor!

Answer 2

If you have never programmed before, then you should not be smart, read your book, and do everything from the book like a 1 in 1 monkey, you should not jump above your nose, practice without theory is not always useful. Grab a theory, a lot of theory, I would advise you to buy another book, preferably another author (different styles of presentation), even if it describes the same thing. Theory is never superfluous, it will not be worse in any case. If you wish, you will quickly read the books, and there you will already know better what and how.

Answer 5

I recommend Learning Python the hard way . And about learning to program, as such, I think not a single book will teach you how to do it. Programming is a craft and here you have to learn it yourself, and the sooner the better to try to become an intern in some team, there will already be real knowledge. You don’t risk anything, well, you’ll fail in a couple of interviews, then you’ll run into questions and get lucky, and then where the programmer’s dream curve will lead you. By the way, in my opinion a good choice of the first language, Python is concise and easy to learn. Good luck.

Answer 6

I started learning python for simple administrative tasks in detail), then it got harder and harder, since I already knew some languages ​​and Google search always gave me exactly what I needed ... at first, of course, it was difficult to understand how everything works there) all these transfers, and so on . ) In general, a few months of trial and error got involved). so you set the task) the simplest (apache log parser for example) and try to solve it.

Answer 7

I join the advice above - it's worth starting with native tutorials. After getting acquainted with the onovs, come up with an interesting task for yourself and try to solve it, while continuing to study the language. With this approach, with increasing knowledge, you will redo and improve your project more than once - due to this, you will learn how to choose the right approaches to solving problems in the future.
You can also take an online course www.intuit.ru/department/pl/python/ , but take books on python here

Answer 8

If this is your first language (as far as I understand, yes), then it is better to start with general books about algorithms and building programs. Then you can start learning Python.
