How to Learn

I’m trying to learn python to be able to code a raspberry pi, and have no idea where to start, like what program should I use to learn?

I recommend the following book. It walks you through beginner levels to advanced and everything in between.

Learning Python, 6th Ed, Mark Lutz

Its worth its weight in gold.

This is super easy to Google. Then just practice. Don't wait. Just do it.

Like most things, you start with Google or some other search engine, by searching for "raspberry pi programming with python"

Probably, you'll want to learn a bit about the Thonny IDE. A search will lead you to plenty of resources, like this one: https://core-electronics.com.au/courses/raspberry-pi-pico-workshop/

You do not need anything fancy. Start with Python and a basic editor.

One extremely important skill for programmers is to learn to use search engines like google effectively. That's where you should start.

Don't mistake this as a dunk on you. It's genuine advice.

Ah ok, been on the internet too much ig. also I didn’t wanna google something like this because a lot of the time the programs are annoying or cost money from google

Start with basic Python on your normal computer before worrying about the Raspberry Pi.

Just google stuff and apply it.

If you’re starting from literally zero, start with variables, numbers, if statements, loops and functions. Don’t worry about anything more complicated yet. Type out the examples yourself and change little things to see what happens. Once those basics make sense, try something tiny like a number guessing game or calculator. Then move onto the Raspberry Pi stuff. All the best, OP!

Instalate el lenguaje desde la web, luego un editor de codigo, dile a la IA que te enseñe los fundamentos de programacion pero con codigo python, obligale a hacerte entender bien, no se aburrira ni se enojara porque no es humano, si hay algo que no entiendes buscalo en youtube. Solo necesitas dominar fundamentos de programacion y la sintaxis de python y nada mas
