Hello everyone
Do any of you python programmers have any tips for simple projects you can do to learn python?

I am mainly a backend/system engineer comig from C++, slowly picking up rust and have been using bash as my scripting language so far. bash is nice because it is so fundamental in the linux world but you just dont get very far with it and its usually not pleasant to write.

So I would like to learn python, though I have no idea what I can do to practice it, so that I can just quickly whip up a script the next time I need something done in the file system or want to write a simple parser for something.

Do you guys have an idea of something small (not necessarily useful) which makes use of pythons strengths? Just looking for ideas here, so stick it all out 👋💕

    @JKyll I have no experience whatsoever with web development unfortunately... although it sounds like a useful idea actually, but would take me a lot of time to get into.

    @simulate web scrapping is not web dev, try out a tutorial to scrap something easy it takes at most 15/30 minutes

    Hi,

    Tuvtran on github has an enormous repo with lessons for a ton of programming languages, python included. He has projects to work on as well as guides for getting started.

    These are an awesome tool, however, if you're still having trouble I'd start with the Codeacademy courses on python, then Git.

    The link to the github repo is below:

    @wowotek thanks for the mention.

    Ya. I'm building a "fantasy computer" (like a fantasy console, but an entire 8 bit computer with its own assembly language and c compiler)
