🔒 I'm new to Python, halp? :)

[crude wren]

Hi, I'm at a point in my life where I need to get out of the rat race of customer service / over the phone work. I really enjoy working with Python, i've worked with it about a month, but this past week i've been spending 12+ hours every day trying to learn new things about strings, blocks, decoration, ctx, so on. I guess I'm looking for reliable information online for me to learn useful things for absolute beginners, I'm not familiar with any other languages this is my first.

Also i'm looking to build skills that are highly desired in jobs dealing with software engineering, or debugging essentially I'm looking for advice and skills to start working on now that will help me in the future, things that a business may be looking for in any software engineer even at beginner levels?

I know these are kind of vague questions, but I'm looking for advice on what skills employers are looking for in people they hire, like critical thinking? Or how I handle debugging? this is a whole new world for me and I want to start with my best leg forward. I also want things to read online so that I can learn and try, I'm also looking for good habits to form now to make it as easy as possible for me in the future? 🙂 Thank you so much for anyone that helps 🙂

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

@crude wren some learning resources 👆
and yes, critical thinking, problem solving skills (and being able to break down problems or tasks into smaller more manageable/solvable items) and people skills to be able to work in a team are just a few of the skills/traits that an employer will be looking for

Thank you 🙂 I'll take that to heart and work on those skills!
