In the world of developers, learning never stops.

“Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere.” — Chinese Proverb

We all have different ways of learning but I urge you to not just watch video tutorials but also to read up and learn this kind of teaching which is reading up first the Programming Language’s own documentation.

As well as the documentation type discussion that covers Python’s basic fundamentals that includes all its terminologies, properties, and many more.

There are so many things to learn in tutorials like this, and if you want to become a good developer then read up and practice the documentation-first approach, it will not just help you improve your skills but it is a good discipline and habit.

If you prefer reading documentation then check out these 5 documentation type tutorials for the absolute beginners, and some are interactive even before we proceed to the remaining 5 Python’s best video tutorials today.

Python Documentation

If you have been a programmer or developer for quite some time then you have probably understood that above all else, the programming language most important source is its — documentation.

And before you spread yourself into Google as you learn a new programming language, it is highly recommended, for like forever, for you to first read its own documentation, it’s not optional, it is conventional.

Read it up, every learning should start here, if all the experts and senior developers always start on the technology’s documentation — then so should you.
