How to Start with Python
Someone recently asked me how to start learning Python. My usual advice? Search online, watch YouTube tutorials, or use ChatGPT-it’s a fantastic way to learn quickly.
If you’re into books, “Automate the Boring Stuff with Python” by Al Sweigart is my personal favorite. I originally picked it up to see what Python could actually do. It helped me automate CSV and Excel tasks at work. You can even read it for free online:
