Question

Python

Is it worth learning python on Hexlet? And in general, what good python courses can you recommend for today. So far I've only started with Lutz's book Learning Python.

Answer 1

I can advise not to study in courses, continue to study by book.

Answer 2

As a person who is currently learning Python on Hexlet, I can speak for myself. I spent a lot of time choosing courses and settled on Hexlet. I bought the first subscription back in the spring or summer of last year, but took a break, because at that time the Python profession on Hexlet was raw. Since October I have returned and have been studying. The advantage of Hexlet is that along with the subscription you have access to other courses, which are also very useful. The python course itself also includes 4 projects, which are paid separately. All the salt is in them. I am currently on my third project out of 4. Projects really make you think, here you are not yudemi-like guides in the style of "do as I show." The second project is brain removal for a beginner. A very good python mentor on Hexlet is Alexey Pirogov. For bad practice in projects, they will be dealt with.))) In general, I do not regret it. More precisely, very satisfied. Since October/November progress is evident.
Z.Y. there is also a basic course on SICP on Hexlet. If you want to be a programmer, then SICP is a must have for a beginner. Now in parallel with the python I try to go through it.
Z.Z.Y. and just today, March 5th on Hexlet - price increase (both for subscription and for projects). However, I highly recommend at least getting a monthly subscription and giving it a try. If it doesn't work, you don't have to renew your subscription.

Answer 3

Courses don't teach you programming, "good" courses teach you syntax. But if you have a desire, then you can learn by yourself: books + a lot of practice. And if you have no desire, then "suitable" courses will not help.

Answer 4

It is worth taking a closer look at https://shultais.education/courses/python-3 , there is both syntax and practice. The rest, of course, depends on the desire and motivation. Anything can be learned.

Answer 5

Of all the courses that I saw, I liked only on OTUSe

Answer 6

The most valuable thing that can be in the courses is mentoring. The rest can be found on your own. I would recommend swallowing a byte of python (130 pages of plain English text, available in Russian, but possibly outdated info) and go write code. For example, on codewars. The point is to fill your hand with simple constructions and simple algorithms + study the standard library. In addition, looking at the best solutions, you can feel the python style. (Also worth reading pep8)
And then you can look at the courses. I myself recently came across these guys dvmn.org, it looks interesting, but I haven’t tried it myself.
