#91571 — Hello Group and how to practice?

Hi my name is Anders I am from Denmark, and I am new to programming and python.

Currently, I am doing the codecademy.com python course, but sometime I feel that the course advances to fast and I lack repeating (practicing) some of the concepts, however I don't feel confident enough to start programming on my own.

Do you guys have some advice to how I can practicing programming and get the concept in under the skin?

Thanks!

Choose something that you think is small and easy to do, and try to do it.  When you have trouble, read the docs you find online, and ask us questions; the python community is pretty friendly, and if you show us what you've already tried to do, someone is likely to try to help you out.

The main thing is to not get discouraged.  One of the hardest things to do is figuring out what you CAN do with a computer; some things that look like they should be easy, are actually major research questions.  Just keep trying, and it will get easier over time.

Good luck!
Cem Karan

Thank you Cem Karan for your reply. I will try and follow your advice. I am yet to install python on my computer, do you know of any easy to follow instructions on how to do so? Where do I start?

Python 3 installers are here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-343/  Choose the one appropriate for your system, and follow the instructions.  If you have trouble, write to the list.

Good luck,
Cem Karan
