|
| includes a simpler editor + interactive-Python [called IDLE] which suffices to get you started.)

|
| Learning goes best if you study 2–4 hour per day, *every day.* (No excuses!)
|
| As with most complex endeavors, it does take a few years of intense study to master the core methods.
|
| (Developing good taste, and the ability craft inspired designs, requires exposure to great works.)
|
|
|
| As with anything new, you’re likely to feel overwhelmed at first; fortunately,
|
| you picked an excellent time to be born:
|
| There's plenty of support—here and elsewhere—to help you over any initial hurdles.
|
|
|
|
|
| If you get stuck, just pop-back in #Python, and we'll get you back on-track:
|
|
|
| Please paste a minimal, runable program that exhibits the problem to https://bpa.st [along with the output],
|
| and then, paste just the custom-URL returned by bpa.st in #Python.
|
|
|
| (Please allow anywhere from several minutes to several hours for assistance—it depends on when/what you ask.)

| Videos by Mr. Ned Batchelder are worthwhile—even though they are typically intended more for those
|
| with a solid grasp of the Python-fundamentals—because they provide you (if even subliminally) with
|
| a sense of how to think, and how to organize practical-knowledge (and, how to teach):

| The “Tutorial” on the Python.org site is targeted more to those who are already experienced
|
| in other programming-languages, i.e., it is not for those new to programming concepts.

|
| Avoid “Learning Python,” by Mark Lutz: It's a disorganized dump of information—the
|
| exact opposite of what a good teacher constructs in order to convey knowledge.
