Studying Programming in Prison?

Hello brothers and sisters! I have a question for you and if you answer, I will be very happy. My brother has been in a prison in Türkiye. Nowadays he’s studying programming, especially Phyton and Internet Programming (Javascript, HTML, CSS). He finished Pearson’s Phyton book and same other books. They don’t give him PC of course, so he write all codes on his notebook when he do exercises. What are your suggesstions for him, which books are good for him or have you any code examples that he can understand? For example can he do little projects on paper and check his codes with answers? Hace you any little projects or exercises like that? He want to improve his skills in this field, so when he get his freedom he maybe can find a job or something :slight_smile: I’m looking for your suggestions for him. Thank you my friends. :slight_smile:

Maybe you should be asking on a more appropriate forum, for example a programming forum such as https://www.thecodingforums.com/

I also like learning through reading books, and trying out practical use cases. I’ve learned Python in 2016ish again, after touching it in 2005 as a test framework for Windows 2k drivers. The O’Reilly book “Head First: Python” allowed me to quickly understand the use cases, and get challenged with practical examples. The learning curve was and still is great, I highly recommend the book to my friends and mentees.

In Summer 2023, the author released the 3rd edition which improves the quality and fully focuses on Python 3.

I’ve also found books for children fascinating to read and learn, as they usually provide playful examples and easy-to-follow stories. “Computer Coding Python Games for Kids” is my favorite.

Another great book for understanding computer science and programming languages in my shelve is “Help Your Kids with Computer Science”
