How do you even start a proyect in your language of preference?

Question

Hi guys, i wanted to learn python because is the language of use for editing in visual effects.

I began 4 days ago and i felt a little frustrated because i honestly don't know what im doing, i feel like im swinging and hittin the questions by luck.

I just want to be good at this to make great sweet VFX

what book or path do you reccomend for a begginer like me?

thank you very much and have a nice week.

Answer 1

I would suggest "learn python the hard way" (search it on google).
It gives a deep understanding of the language and also some really good exercises to actually learn programming.

Answer 2

You're welcome my friend.
I started about a year and half ago with java, mostly just to see what is coding all about and find myself in love with coding right after that.
I continued to learn basics of other languages (including c#,c++ and php) only because it was really enjoying.
Actually I haven't focused on any of them till now. It depends on the jobs I found, currently mostly web designing and php.
Hope you have a great journey in coding.
PS: make sure you choose the right lessons for your first language, however it doesn't matter which lauguage you choose, the lessons are very important.
