Learn Python with Phoebe
This is my journey learning Python - hands-on, one project at a time.
I learn best by building. So instead of only watching lectures, every concept I pick up gets turned into a small working project. This repo is the public log of that journey: the code, the mistakes, the fixes, and what each step taught me.
Why this repo exists
- Learn by doing - every topic becomes a runnable project or notebook, not just notes.
- Build in public - progress is visible, commit by commit. Green squares = consistency.
- Track growth - a timeline I can look back on, from first
print()to real data projects.
How it’s organized
learn-python-with-phoebe/
├── notebooks/ # cell-by-cell experiments while learning a concept (Jupyter)
├── projects/ # small, self-contained hands-on projects
└── README.md # this file - the map of the journey
Each project folder has its own short README: what it does, what I learned, how to run it.
My setup
- Anaconda - Python 3.11 + data libraries
- PyCharm - main editor + debugger
- Jupyter Notebook - for learning experiments
- Claude Code - AI pair-programmer in the terminal
- Git + GitHub - version control + public profile
Progress log
| # | Project / Topic | What I learned | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | day01.py - Hello World |
print() is how Python talks back to you - every journey starts here |
✅ |
| 02 | hello.py - Simple Calculator |
input() reads from the user; int() converts text to a number so you can do math with it |
