I have a couple free months and I want to learn whatever amount of Python I can. (I'm a biologist, and everyone uses Python. I have no idea why.)

I have zero programming experience.

Any recommendations for how to do that?

I see plenty of resources online of course, but I'd like to hear your specific advice.

>I see plenty of resources online, but I should ask some people online
I know this is going to come as a complete shock to you, but the consensus is to use those resources. If you STILL need more spoonfeeding, then your answer is to just use learnpython.org

the best advice I can offer is to practice, practice, practice.

type your code, write it on paper, understand it.

if you learn from videos it isn't enough which I'm sure you understand as a biologist. the information only gets you so far without putting the stuff to practice.

best way to learn a programming is to think of a fun, interesting project you want to do and apply what ypu've learned to accomplishing it. What's nice is that you will learn a lot when encountering a snag or particularly difficult programming task. Worked for me at least.

Because there are like ten thousand resources and I want recommendations on which are good, retard.

Right. I agree completely. But I feel like designing a project myself is a bit beyond my current capabilities.

Any recommendation for practice problems/projects I can tackle?

I inserted two just to be sure.

Christ on a cracker. You're never going to learn anything if you can't just get off your ass and start on something.

I do have ideas for what I could do. I'm hoping people who are more knowledgeable than me will have betters ideas.

Also, Fuck you.

Hello anon. I'm not sure if you have ever heard of Humble Bundle. But they currently have a python bundle that's cheap and has a shit ton of resources for learning python.
