Are there any pointers experienced coders can give me whose beginning Python?
What is your starting point? Are you familiar with any other programming?
I have a little experience, having completed over 2000hrs of courses here on FCC. I’m just starting Python now and the courses here are definitely suitable for beginners.
Python is a great language for beginners and as @pkdvalis says, the best place to start is right at the beginning, via the link they posted.
