Learning Python

Hi, I'm currently studying A level Computer Science, and whilst I have a basic understanding of python code I really want to improve my skills and understanding of programming.

Does anybody know of any websites / youtube videos / projects I could use to help?

Also, I was thinking of using Brilliant. Is the money worth it, and will it help with more advanced programming?

Thanks !

I haven't done A Level Computer Science (nor do I want to), but I am currently looking at projects for the following:

•

ChatGPT clone

•

Freecodecamp.org for web development projects

•

Algorithmic trading bot

•

Building apps (ideally with the use of ChatGPT)

•

Blockchain development (doesn't use Python though)

•

Data science projects looking at stuff like economic data, financial data, etc.

I am tempted to build a game using Python, but I don't think it's the best language to build it with e.g. Unreal (C++) and Unity (C#) tend to be better candidates

I don't know how basic is "basic", since you can pretty much cover the basics with any random website for python e.g.

•

https://www.w3schools.com/python/

•

https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/index.html

•

https://www.pythontutorial.net/

•

I do have Brilliant, but it doesn't really go into that much in Python programming. The computer science section has more stuff to do with logic and how computers work.
