Newbie - where do i start

General
#1

Hi,

Im new here and also pretty new to programming. I’ve tried som javascript and python (school learning), also read through the “python crash course” book but still feel like i can’t do anything.

My goal is to program with Python with the direction towards AI.

what im asking for is advice how to start on this site, from beginner level but also other tips and tricks on how to move on and train myself to actually code. Is there any good exercises and tutorials here or somewhere else? Im feeling stuck and dont know how to start.

Thanks. I hope i can be a future programming friend!

Start with the onboarding exercise and some other puzzles, in
Solo > Puzzles > Easy

There is no “tutorial” in this site. Learn the basics somewhere else then practise here.

Do not call yourself a programmer if you cannot finish these 4.

This course (including grading the homework) is free; highly recommend Prof Malan
