Hey everyone! I'm a total newbie when it comes to computer coding languages. I've been told that starting with C++ is a good idea, but I've also heard I should look into Python at the same time. I haven't tried Python yet, but I have a good feeling about it. Can anyone help me out with some resources? I'm looking for free videos and materials that can help me learn quickly and effectively!

Python is an awesome choice for beginners! Honestly, it's more important to start building something small rather than stressing about the language itself. Pick a simple project like making a currency converter or a guessing game, and use that as your learning tool. Resources like freeCodeCamp or Harvard’s CS50 are great to check out for free learning materials. Once you get comfortable, dive into a little project with what you’ve learned!
If you're just starting out, I'd recommend focusing on one language first, and Python is usually easier to pick up because of its clean syntax. Start with the basics like variables, loops, and functions. A fantastic starting point is Simplilearn’s Programming with Python 3.X course; you’ll get hands-on experience with real coding skills through practical exercises. Once you feel confident, you could go for more advanced topics like OOP and web scraping!
Oh, that sounds great! I’ll definitely give it a try. Also, I’ve been experimenting with math using variables, and it feels pretty easy so far. Am I underestimating it?
