I'm starting to be interested in learning python for academic purposes. I'm not planning to become a full time developer or anything,just having some knowledge for a couple of project that are coming.


To all you experienced coders out there, what are some things I should keep in mind when learning and also, what's the best way to start and also keep on learning?

What is your level of skill in programming? If you know some stuff already, I would recommend learn python the hard way. If you have zero: codecademy courses could be a nice introduction.

Since it is also for academic purposes I would recommend looking at Jupyter, its a "notebook" where you can write code, execute it and view it(Kinda a REPL). It's super nice to try things out and write reports with nice charts, etc. For that I would also recommend looking at certain python libraries after you got the hang of the basic: pandas, scipy & numpy

I would first start with that.
