Practical tips to approach your learning process

If you are planning to learn Python, how long and how smooth the learning process is going to be will depend on a number of factors such as:

• your background: whether you have any previous exposure to other programming languages, specifically, object-oriented programming languages
• your commitment: how much effort you are going to dedicate on a weekly basis
• your approach: how you are going to learn 🍁

Recently, I was reflecting back when I first started learning Python seriously about a year ago. In this post, I share my top 5 tips on the third factor 🍁 that came from my reflection for those who are starting their journey.

1. Find an excellent course and/or a book to guide you 🎒

2. Make your own cheat sheets 📜

3. Don’t copy paste code, instead type them 💪

4. Learn from errors 👀

5. Practice coding with purpose 💦

Bonus tip. Gamify your Python practice 🎮
