Guide:How to learn Python in 2022

Experts learning about python

Learn the Basics.
To be an expert in any language you have to get the basics right.
So one should by learning the basic data types:

  1. int
  2. float
  3. bool
  4. str
  5. list
  6. tuple
  7. set
  8. dict
  9. None

Once you get the fundamentals down you can start to get into developer environments and make a local setup to get started in programming.
Try to learn about:
How to use the Terminal: just the basic running commands.
Pick a code editor of your liking :Code editors like sublime text, VScode.
Learn about IDEs and when you would need them like Pycharm , Spyder.
Notebooks are also used for programming like Jupyter Notebook.
The main takeaway is to learn about the existence of these technologies and when you would use them.

Next, you are ready to try on some advanced topics like Object Oriented Programming (OOP) and Functional Programming.
OOP is mostly popular and it is taught in coding bootcamps and colleges as well so learning this is highly recommended.

Next is the inevitable Data Structure and Algorithms (DSA).
When trying to get a job this is the part which decide either you are in or out. So this will require concentration and consistency. (I will cover DSA in my later posts)

At last, try to make some projects and keep practicing.

To learn these concepts you can refer to youtube tutorials by:

  1. freecodecamp
  2. Telusko
  3. Python docs
