I’m at work in a slow moment with only my phone and pydroid, I wanted to see if there was anything I could learn and mess around with while I’m here

      That’s assuming I want to build a project, right now I’m messing around with numpy building arrays in different dimensions and multiplying them.

      I know, but this is the weird way I learn things

        Sounds like your project is building arrays in different dimensions and multiplying them.

        Maybe give polars and pandas a try.

        Definitely check out SciPy

        I learned a lot about pandas (a library built mostly on top of numpy) by going to stackoverflow and trying to answer questions with the tag. Hopefully the questions have a minimal reproducible example and are isolated to one specific question

    That’s like saying “what’s the best ingredients to learn cooking with?”, firstly it all depends on what your want to eat, secondly it doesn’t really matter what the ingredients are to learn cooking skills.

    Flask is a fun framework for making web apis.

    Pika is a client for RabbitMQ, if you want to try message queue stuff.

    Numpy and sklearn for numerical and machine learning stuff.

    Matplotlib for making nice plots of your numerical stuff.

    Pytorch for deep learning.

    Pillow for image processing.

    OpenCV for computer vision.

    Pygame for 2D games (maybe a bit old, but I had lots it fun with it when I started learning programming years ago)

      I love math so I was messing around with matplotlib, it’s very cool, I was able to make the Mandelbrot set! Mandelbrot set

    Standard library of course. And collections module too, among the others that come by default. What you need is assignments to solve. Like project euler or hacker rank.

    If you want to do web requests/ use API’s, use ‘requests’

    graphs/reporting, I’ve used ‘bokeh’ before, it was nice.

    I’ve never used PyDroid, so I’m not sure how you’d install things, but these are both available via pypi, python’s package repository.

      Pips pretty easy in pydroid, thanks! I’ll have a look at requests, since I’ve been wanting to mess with apis
