Hey folks! 👋
I’m 17 and just starting Python. No experience, no CS degree – just a goal: learn Python in 7 months and land my first online internsh...

Really nice decision!
Nice to see that you are thinking ahead, I would recommend going through Corey Schafer's youtube channel.
Keep practicing, don't give up!
Use ChatGPT,
Use communities to understand and overcome any possible stuck situations.
Work on creating real life scenario based projects.
All the best for your journey!
Thanks for your advice, I will watch Corey Schafer’s channel and try to make real projects. I appreciate your support✊🏻
I teach programming and computer science at the college level. Yes, you can teach yourself to program. At the same time, you need to begin networking and making contacts to help you find that internship or first job when ready. Programming and networking are equally important if you are going to find a job. Ask chatGPT about setting up LinkedIn and finding networking events you can attend. I recommend programming every day on HackerRank or some other similar site. Focus on clear, understandable code. Don't worry about how clever, short, or fast the code is. Clear is better than fast. Clear is better than clever. I hope this helps. Best of luck.
Hey, thanks a lot!
I really appreciate your advice. I will start coding every day and try to make new connections. Your words about clear code were very helpful.
By the way, I am from Uzbekistan. Do you think it is possible to find an online job or internship in Europe if I know English?
Hi
Appreciate the advice! You’re absolutely right—it’s easy to get stuck in tutorial hell, but real learning comes from coding. I’ll focus more on practice and tracking my progress.
A year ago, I started coding and got close to OOP in Python, but had to stop due to personal issues. Now I’m back and more determined than ever to keep going and not quit this time!
By the way, your blog on Dev.to is awesome! So many useful insights—I’ve learned a lot from it. Keep up the great work! 🔥
Aww!Thats so sweet of you!!1
Thank you so much, that means alot to me.
Lot to learn and still learning..

check the online task boards to see what they need Python people to build? Take the easy ones first then work your way up.
That way, as you're learning, you'll be able to apply what you learned to solving an actual paying problem.
Also, make sure you use github to push all your changes for anything, get yourself some 'credit' in the industry.
Thanks a lot for your advice—it really helped! 😊
I am starting to learning Python for 3-4 hours every day. I think in 6-7 months, I’ll see some good results.
Hi Olloyor,
Absolutely yes.
I recommend w3school. you can learn basics of not only python but also all other languages very easily. Please check this link w3schools.com/

Thanks for your helpful advice! I appreciate your tips about fundamentals and practice. I will use your approach. Thanks again!
Hope this helps:
This is how I'd start an Ultralearning project to become a Software Engineer
