🔒 I need some tasks for practice!

[plain tapir]

recently I finished learning basic python and now I want to work on some interesting (still base) tasks/projects

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.

What's the most difficult thing you've built so far?

[plain tapir]

developing a Telegram bot for learning English, integrated with external APIs

[ornate elk]

If you want to do something completely different, look into Conway's Game of Life and Cellular Automata in general. They can be very simple, but are very cool.

That will likely be more DSA-oriented.

[plain tapir]

okay, but honestly, I don't really have a clear idea of what these projects involve — I hadn't heard of them before

[ornate elk]

Google Conway's Game of Life. Google has a special results page for it.

[plain tapir]

overall, I've already decided on a direction — I'd like to go into cybersecurity and data protection, but at this point I'm not really sure what my next steps should be

[plain tapir]

i'll check it, thanks

[ornate elk]

At this stage, that direction doesn't really matter. You should be learning in general before you'd get into anything Cybersecurity-related. Cybersecurity is more of a "higher tier" set of skills in that it builds on a bunch of other knowledge. Having a solid foundation in Python is more important than knowing cybersecurity specific concepts.

If you really want to learn core Cybersecurity ideas in Python, though, you'd want to learn about sockets, and networking in general.

As well as ctypes, and working with the operating system.

(I have a Security+ certification and went to school for Cybersecurity)

[plain tapir]

yep, I saw it in the description

[plain tapir]

okk, i will start from this, cause, i really want to improve my level to delve deeper into the area of ​​interest

[ornate elk]

I just mention that project because that's always the first non-trivial project I do when learning a new language. I like it because it makes use of multiple structures, has a lot of room for growth, and gives you a cool end result.

You can do simple console graphics in the beginning, then migrate it to a full UI later when you know how to do that.

[plain tapir]

genuinely can’t wait to dig into this project

[plain tapir]

I’ll keep that one too

[ornate elk]

If you're more math oriented, Mandelbrot Sets are pretty cool too (my profile pic). That project involves complex numbers, if you've used them before.

(Or the more general Julia Sets)

[vale lake]

even though this is a python server, i would say to focus on non-programming related stuff first if you want to go in to cybersecurity and don't already have deep knowledge in the following areas:
operating systems (linux and probably windows too), computer networks and protocols and general stuff about how computers works on a lower lever before focusing on programming

[plain tapir]

yep, and I’ve got a sense for this already
