Jozef Behr shared Beginner Tips for Learning Python Programming

Tip # 1: Code every day

Consistency is very important when you are learning a new language. We recommend committing to coding every day. It can be hard to believe, but muscle memory plays a big part in programming. Committing to coding daily will really help in developing this muscle memory. Although it may seem daunting at first, consider starting small with 25 minutes each day and working your way up from there.

Tip # 2: Surround yourself with others who are learning

While coding may seem like a solitary activity, it actually works best when you work together. It is very important when you are learning to code in Python that you also surround yourself with other people who are learning. This allows you to share the tips and tricks you learn along the way.

Tip # 3: Ask questions

People always say that there is no such thing as a bad question, but when it comes to programming, you can ask a bad question. When you are asking for help from someone who has little or no connection to the problem you are trying to solve, it is best to ask GOOD questions

Tip # 4: Build something, whatever

For starters, there are many little exercises that will really help you become confident with Python, as well as developing the muscle memory we talked about above. Once you've mastered the basic structure of data (strings, lists, dictionaries, sets), object-oriented programming and writing lessons, it's time to start building!
