I'm curious if it's actually possible to learn Python in just one day. I'm looking to pick it up for work and to enhance my CV, as I believe it's a valuable skill to have. What methods or resources should I consider if I'm aiming for this short timeframe?

Learning Python in a single day is pretty unrealistic, especially if you're starting from scratch. Even experienced programmers take time to get used to a new language. If you're serious about learning, you might want to set a more realistic timeline and focus on practicing instead of rushing.
It kinda depends on what you mean by "learn Python." You could pick up the basics by going through a few introductory lessons in a course. That might be enough to get your foot in the door, but it won't make you job-ready by any means. If you have some experience with another language, that could help you pick up Python quicker.
That sounds more like what I was aiming for. Just enough to start working with data analysis!
Honestly, aim for more than just one day. To be effective at programming, you need to practice and really understand the concepts, which takes time. If you commit to learning over a few weeks or months, you'll have a much better grasp of Python and be more prepared for your career.
I guess taking the time to practice makes sense. I just wanted to get a head start for my job applications!
