How do you actually learn #Python? Mark Smith breaks it down into 3 core ideas: 1. Start by copying At the beginning, you need guidance. Tutorials, books, and exercises help you understand how code is structured. 2. Move quickly to building This is where real learning happens. • Start small • Recreate simple tools • Work on projects you care about You don’t learn programming by consuming content – you learn it by writing code. 3. Learn from others Read code, follow experienced developers, and learn how real projects are written. ❌ Avoid common mistakes: - When you let AI write code, you stop learning. - When you try to learn everything at once, you risk burning out. - When you obsess about avoiding errors, you lose a major part of the process. ✅ What actually helps: - Breaking problems into small pieces. - Building early, even if it’s messy. - Learning gradually (including tools like Git). - Using AI to assist, not replace thinking. The key idea: You don’t learn programming by consuming content. You learn it by writing code. 👉 Watch the full talk: https://lnkd.in/ex9yu4TM
