Python 101: Introduction to modern Python

Python is a very powerful language. It’s a general-purpose programming language used in; web development, creating software prototypes and data science. Python is considered as an easy language because of its simple syntax; the scripts written are “human-friendly”, but it’s difficult to master. It requires one to work hard enough at it; through practice and patience.

HOW TO LEARN PYTHON EASILY.
As much as python is the friendliest language, it needs some good planning in order to learn and b a pro at it. These are the few tips that will make you the guru you’ve always wanted to be!
CONSISTENCY
When starting a new goal in life, it doesn’t take an hour or a day to meet it. It takes thorough exercise, practice and great zeal. It takes commitment and great planning. Coding is fun and not fun at all depends on how you feel about it. Learn Python and have a great and a successful career. What you do is, study each and every day. Even if your schedule is so tight and you have no second to spare, please make sure you code at least half an hour each day. It pays off at the end of it all.
BEFRIEND YOUR PEN!!
You have watched those tutorials, read those articles, blogs it’s time now to try and write down correct lines of code. It gives some undefined sense of confidence, and saves you during interviews. It is also one way of increasing the fun that comes with coding. When you can confidently write a code then be sure you can remember, and you can easily correct errors by looking at the code lines.
INTERACTIVE EXERCISE SO KEY
You can read those codes, watch those tutorials but never forget the only day that your journey of being a pro will begin is when you sit down and type those code lines. It gets more fun when you make those mistakes, repeat the code correct them and at the end of it all a running code is in front of you.
PEER LEARNING
We are always told that you learn more, and understand when you explain to others. While learning python on your own you and you can’t peer discuss, then try writing a blog or make a video explaining the newly learnt concept. You will understand that concept more.

Answered questions are a natural way of learning. Programming is mostly learnt online and from peers. Always ask questions the right way so that you can get the right and appropriate answers.
HOW TO POLISH YOUR PYTHON BASICS
Create your own practice projects! After you feel more confident with the basics of Python, start on your own projects. This will give you additional motivation, since you can select a topic that you’re excited about. Working on a project will give you a chance to apply your knowledge to real-world tasks. And it’s inspiring when you can do something useful with code.
Finally, you are likely to encounter challenges when working on your project. This may mean dozens of tries before code starts working and quite a few questions asked on Stack Overflow. But it also means that you’ll learn lots of new things.

HAPPY LEARNING!!!
