Even with SoloLearn, I find it hard to learn code.

Question

I've been wanting to code for the longest time now. Since my school curriculum only shows off Scratch before high school, I was forced to learn it myself. I've been attempting to learn Python, which I still find difficult with this learning. I've been wanting to code for around 6 years, and now that I'm doing it, I don't find it that fun when I forget everything that I've learned. I wish there were daily classes taught by the trusted users of SoloLearn or even the devs. It would help pace myself in learning

Answer 1

Personally, I think that Python3 is the best prepared course on Sololearn. It should help you to refresh your knowledge.

Answer 2

Hope you can stick with it, keep it up! you will be on the way.

Answer 3

Try the processing tutorials on The Coding Train youtube channel:

The graphical output of Processing or p5js may be what you are missing to keep you engaged.
It was for me in the beginning and Processing helped a lot.

https://p5js.org

Edit: being the question python related, you can check the python mode in the Processing IDE or simpleCV if your goal is graphical output

Answer 4

Maybe you should ask for a mentor/tutor. I'm sure some experienced coders can provide that service for a payment.

You might also make a list with the concepts you are stuck with and have the community give their insight on each one of them.

Answer 5

Don't get discouraged if you forget language syntax. Programming is about learning the concepts behind the syntax and making them yours. Once you do that, syntax becomes secondary. You can always consult the language documentation if you forget something.

Answer 6

Go to datacamp.com. I learned python at 12 with the release of the original Raspberry Pi computer (beg your parents until they get you a pi 3, took me six months but so worth it). I originally used codecademy to learn html, css, java, and python. If you have a little money, codecademy is great but not free anymore. If you want to do a little html or javascript, head over to khan academy. Dont worry, i took 1.5 years off python, now ive refreshed my syntax and am writing a program to help help with charitable food distribution. Head over to pythonforum.io, my handle is teenspirit, it is easier to talk there. Im homeschooled, so all my computer learning was done without an adult helping me, you can do it. Dont give up, youll be rich and thankful you didnt in the future.
