A good tutorial for beginners? (Youtube)
#1
Hallowings,

I am new to this, so my excuse if I am asking smt. silly :)

Uh, I just started coding, I finished all lessons on CodeAcademy (Python 2.7) so I have basic comprehension of classes, functions, libraries, bitwise operations...

Now I am seeking to start my own programs. I see Youtube tutorials as a good way to start.


I checked a few of them, I don't know, some seem using obsolete methods or smt....


Can you plz recommend me some good channel to follow?


Thanx!

I think the docs are pretty good: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/index.html

thanx and yes, I know of that,

butt what I am looking for is a GOOD youtuber/vloger who can explain making more complex apps, like GUI calculator (for instance) and so.

I fould some youtubers, most of them can't explain what they are doing and python documentation is sometimes so sh*tty that I got frustrated and left them...

So I a still looking for someone good....

To be honest, i would start using text tutorials as well. A lot of tutorials are not on youtube (or other videos), as well as a video can easily get outdated, whereas text can be easily updated. Yes you can add text on the screen for updates, but there is only so much you can do before you need to create a whole new video, and most of the time they dont bother.

The python docs can be overwhelming at first, but after awhile there is nothing else in comparison. Sometimes you can google an example more in depth when the python docs fails short. There is usually nothing faster than bringing up a python interpreter and executing >>> help(module_or_method_here) to quickly get the docs for it.

I'll also add, regarding youtube videos, on many of them, if you read the video 'description' (you may have to click the 'more' link) the will post a web link to the actual code. So keep an eye open for that.
If it ain't broke, I just haven't gotten to it yet.

noticed that. Some are good, some offer no code to copy.

Just sent entire day over youtube code that eventually did not work :D

A lot of code probably is python2.x while most everyone has moved on to python3.x now. You can easily change the code to fit python3.x if you felt up to it.
