I'm currently learning python. Here is *how* I learn it with support of AI and *why* I'm learning a programming language when AI does all the coding anyways? The how: I told an LLM to generate a python course - tailored to my prior knowledge, programming experience, the project that I want to work on etc. So it is not just some generic tutorial, but exactly what I need. It designed the course plan, topics, metadata. Stored to a single file, no real learning content yet. Each time I want to continue, I tell it to read the file and teach me the next lesson. It gives me some theory, some practice, everything interactively, with answers to my spontaneous questions and examples taken from the actual project. This works really nice. At the end of each session, the content of the lesson is stored to a file for later reference, progress is recorded and if needed, the metadata for the course is updated. The why: Because I want to understand what the code does. I need to contribute some changes to an open source project, which is written in python. AI can generate the changes for me - but I will not open Merge Requests when I don't understand what it generated. I will probably not write much code myself - but I still need to give it the correct instructions and evaluate the results.

I’m excited to share an article I’ve recently written as part of my learning journey at Innomatics Research Labs — exploring one of Python’s most essential concepts: Abstraction and Encapsulation The article, titled "The Two Questions Every Python Class Must Answer: What Do You Do? What Do You Guard?” The foundational role of OOP in managing real-world software complexity The two most misunderstood pillars of OOP — Abstraction and Encapsulation — and what truly separates them Implementing abstraction using Python's 'abc' module, abstract classes, and the @abstractmethod decorator Protecting data through access modifiers, name-mangling, and the @property decorator A side-by-side comparison, real-world analogies, common pitfalls, and design patterns that leverage both principles. Through writing this, I deepened my understanding of what it truly means to design a class — not just making it work, but making it safe to use, impossible to misuse, and easy to extend without ever exposing what doesn't need to be seen. Because the best code isn't the code that does the most — it's the code that hides the most, safely. A special shout-out to: Lohith Papakollu– my trainer, for his clear insights and unwavering support throughout the learning process. Sri Sai Tejaswini Pamula – my mentor, for his motivating guidance and encouragement to explore deeper.

“Python doesn’t just teach you code… it teaches you how to think.” Before starting my journey, coding felt like a different world — full of complexity and confusion. But learning Python at ACTE Technologies completely changed my perspective. Python is a versatile and beginner-friendly programming language used in everything from web development to Artificial Intelligence. What makes it special is how simple and readable it is — even complex problems can be solved with clean, understandable code. The more I learn, the more I realize that Python is not just about writing programs — it’s about solving real-world problems, step by step. From automation to data analysis, Python opens doors to endless opportunities. And with the right guidance at ACTE Technologies the journey becomes even more practical and industry-focused. Still learning, still growing… one line of code at a time. If you're learning Python too, what’s something new you discovered recently?

🚀 Day 27 of My Python Learning Journey 🚀 Today I explored one of the most powerful concepts in Python: Polymorphism. 📌 Topics I Learned: 🔹 Advantages of Polymorphism • Improves code reusability • Makes programs more flexible • Reduces complexity • Helps in writing cleaner and scalable code 🔹 Important Terminologies in Python Polymorphism • Method Overriding • Operator Overloading • Duck Typing • Magic Methods 🔹 Duck Typing Philosophy in Python “If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, then it is a duck.” 🦆 Python does not care about the object type, it only cares whether the required method or behavior is present. 🔹 Operator Overloading Python allows us to redefine the behavior of operators for user-defined objects. Example: + operator can perform different tasks: • Addition for numbers • Concatenation for strings and lists 🔹 Method Overriding A child class can redefine the method of the parent class with its own implementation. 🔹 Magic Methods Used for Operator Overloading • add() → + • sub() → - • mul() → * • truediv() → / • lt() → < • gt() → > • eq() → == 🔹 Error Associated with + Operator Trying to add incompatible data types gives an error. Example: 5 + "Python" Output: TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str' Learning polymorphism made me realize how Python gives flexibility to write smart and dynamic code. Excited to learn more every day! 💻✨ Thanks for your support G.R NARENDRA REDDY sir #Day27 #Python #Polymorphism #DuckTyping #OperatorOverloading #MethodOverriding #MagicMethods #PythonProgramming #CodingJourney #LearningPython #FutureDeveloper

🚀 I’ve started a new series on Python Programming + Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA) Most people jump into DSA with zero foundation… and then wonder why nothing makes sense. So instead of starting with complex problems, I’m doing the opposite — building everything from absolute basics. 📌 Episode 1: Sum of First N Natural Numbers in Python Sounds simple? Good. It should be. Because this single problem covers: Loop-based thinking (iteration mindset) Mathematical optimization (n(n+1)/2) Time complexity difference → O(n) vs O(1) This is exactly where beginners either build clarity… or build confusion. 💡 In this video, I break down: ✔️ Beginner-friendly approach using loops ✔️ Optimized approach using formula ✔️ Why optimization matters (even in simple problems) 🎯 Who this is for: Beginners starting Python Students preparing for placements Non-tech background learners entering analytics / tech Anyone struggling with DSA basics ⚠️ Honest take: If you ignore fundamentals and jump to advanced DSA, you’re setting yourself up for failure. This series is designed to fix that — step by step. 📺 Watch the video here: https://lnkd.in/d5-if58Q If you’re learning or teaching Python/DSA, I’d like to know: 👉 Do you prefer starting with basics or jumping into problems directly? #Python #DSA #Programming #DataAnalytics #LearnPython #Coding #TechEducation #PlacementPreparation

People ask me how I learned so much about GenAI, and I tell them I owe a lot of it to learning to code in Python. Through coding, I learned that: * Machines process language through patterns and rules that respond to what you actually write. * Systems follow the logic you give them, not the intention you had in your head. * Clarity in the instruction determines clarity in the result. * When steps are organized and sequenced, the outcome becomes more predictable. * Caveman talk works. Simple, direct, effective communication produces the best results. * Reading and practice helps to build your knowledge over time. * Developing the persistence to understand how things work helps you code better! * Attention to detail makes the difference. Small errors in your code can change the entire output. * Continuous learning is important because there is always a new library or an updated version. * Progress comes from iteration and refinement of the code. * Logic is important, but creativity shapes what you make! #teachingpython #GenerativeAI Teaching Python Podcast

Stop learning Python. You don't have a Python problem. I said this to myself six months into my PhD. I was on my fourth tutorial. Everything made sense while I followed along. The moment I tried to write something from scratch, I was completely lost. So I went back to another tutorial. Because I thought it was a Python problem. It wasn't. Here's what nobody tells you before you open that first script: Python tutorials assume you already know how to think computationally. How to break a messy biological question into steps a machine can actually follow. How to ask what a function needs, what it returns, what an error is really telling you. Biology trains you to observe. To hypothesise. To interpret. It never trains you to decompose. That's the gap. Not the syntax. The logic underneath it. And you can't close that gap by doing the tutorial again. Once I understood this, I stopped blaming the code. I started asking different questions before I touched the keyboard. What am I actually trying to do? What does this step need? What should come out of it? The scripts didn't magically get easier. But I finally knew what I was trying to learn and that changed everything. Stop learning Python tutorials. Start learning to think like a computer. The tutorials will make sense after that. What made the logic finally click for you not the syntax, the logic? Drop it below. I want to write the guide that nobody wrote for us. Give a follow if you found it useful!
