Learning Python for 13yr old
Learning Python for 13yr old

Hello, I am sorry if this has been asked already but could anyone point me in the right direction for what my kid should start learning. Any books or youtube videos he should start with to get him going?

He’s expressed wanting to be a video game developer or work for the government in IT. I know -I know- big jump but since prices on tech is going up I advised him to think on something else as a back up.

Thank you for any help!

Why does Python feel easy to learn but hard to master?
Why does Python feel easy to learn but hard to master?

Hi everyone,

I recently started learning Python, and one thing I’ve noticed is that it feels really easy at first.

The syntax is simple, concepts like loops and functions are easy to understand, and you can write basic programs quickly. But after a point, things start getting confusing.

When I try to build something on my own or solve slightly complex problems, I get stuck. It feels like I “know” Python, but I don’t feel confident using it properly.

I’m not sure if this is a normal phase or if I’m missing something in my learning approach.

So I wanted to ask:

Did you also feel this while learning Python?
At what point did things start to “click” for you?
What helped you move from basics to actually building real projects?

Would love to hear your experiences 🙌
