I am a none programmer and wanted to learn Python. I've been picking up some random book to practice and also did the codeacademy. I'm looking for python community where I can post the code/questions when things doesn't go right as the book say. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!<p>Thank you :)
Stack overflow is great for that type of thing.. I started using python about 2 years ago and there seemed to be loads of python programmers on it.
There may be some bitchiness about the question being a dupe, or in the wrong section but nevertheless you will get really helpful answers usually in a matter of minutes.
I strongly suggest you stay away from the "dive into python" series and look at Zed Shaw's excellent "Learn Python the Hard Way" series. To read it online, it is free[1]. I've got a random collection of links I send to some of my coworkers when they ask about newbie python devs that might be of use to you[2].<p>[1] <a href="http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/" rel="nofollow">http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/</a><p>[2] <a href="https://gist.github.com/SEJeff/7103604" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/SEJeff/7103604</a>
The r/learnpython subreddit has always seemed pretty helpful. There's a decent IRC channel associated with that subreddit.<p><a href="http://reddit.com/r/learnpython" rel="nofollow">http://reddit.com/r/learnpython</a>
