Python is one of the most popular programming languages and has been widely adopted even by beginners in programming. However, mastering this language the right way is not an easy feat. I will share some tips to guide you in the right path to mastering Python the right way.
In your Python journey, you’ll see that picking up the basics correctly is the best part. Mastering the basics opens up a whole new world of endless possibilities and endless things that you can build from creating games, developing websites, machine learning, etc.
To master Python, you will first need to download and install Python on your computer. Then, install a code editor of your choice. You can choose Jupyter, Pygame, VScode, etc depending on what works for you.
Next, ensure you learn and master things like data structures and algorithms, variables, data types, all of which are important and form the backbone of mastering the language. Ensure you put this knowledge into practice by trying to write simple programs that test your understanding of each of these topics. Don’t worry if you get an error; that is a chance for you to learn more. There is also StackOverflow which is usually overflowing with answers and you can get the help you need.
Master the basic syntax of the language then work on projects from simple ones and progressing on to more complex projects. You will definitely encounter errors or bugs in your code and I promise you that some of them will give you a headache. However, do not fear at all. You can always find help in StackOverflow or even on Google. These errors you encounter everyday help you learn more and become a badass Python developer as you move forward. Work on as many projects as you can and build up your portfolio. Post your projects on Github and even invite others to take a look and give you feedback.
Documenting what you learn helps you understand it better. So, with every new topic that you learn, it is advisable that you write a blog about it and post it on sites such as Dev.to, Meduim, etc. Invite your friends or peers in Python to read and criticize your work. Learn from your mistakes and always strive to do better.
Finally, join a community. You can search online for a community of Python developers such as LuxTech academy, where you can work together, share ideas, collaborate on projects, and even ask for help whenever you feel stuck. This community will also teach you new things and you can learn from people who have been in this field longer. Seek for a mentor who can guide you on this journey and always be willing to learn and commit your time to it. Eventually, it will all pay off and you will become the badass Python programmer you always dreamed of.
