Python help channel opened

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.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.

idk if this is the correct channel

Python is very versatile language and while you can use MicroPython on some boards, usually i belive embedded programming is done in C (or even Rust nowdays)

Depending on your previus knowlege, you may want to learn Python, then go to some "lower level" language later

!learn python from these recommended resources

GitHub is an online platform used for collaboration between developers.

Its uses application called git which is offline command line application for version control of your code to store your .git online

last question

should i learn swift first because of my future as an embedded programmer

# urban island should i learn swift first because of my future as an embedded programmer

Swift?
That is used in Apple devices mostly, so if your targeted device is Apple device, then i would say yes

But being an embedded programmer
Thats close to hardware and usually running without operating system...

I must warn you
Embedded programming is not so easy to learn

You will have to learn both hardware and software

I would recommend you choose some board for yourself, like ESP32 development board
You can use Micropython on it...

So you can practise

Also, there is a channel here
#microcontrollers

If you have some questions specific to that topic
