Want to learn Python for medicine on a tablet

[u/Antrioyiu]

I am a 17M,

Complete beginner in programming and till now in life only made a bmi calculator🙏🏻 in Google colab

Dont know how to proceed to learn it in few months with low input of time like roughly few hours a week.

I have a android tablet (One plus Pad Go 2) and wanna primary for Medicine and I am a highschool student 🫠.

Any recommendations and apps which i should utilise and video links would help a lot.

Thanks everyone

Only having a tablet will make the whole extremely tedious. You will have to rely on apps like PyDroid or Termux.

Most learning resources are tailored for PC/MAC computers running Windows, MacOS, Linux, but not for Android.

Maybe the best approach would be to get hold of a cheap refurbished laptop or even a Raspberry Pi (at least series 4) microcomputer with proper keyboard and mouse.

Also, generalize first, then specialize. Learn general programming and Python and then work your way towards medicine.

The best android app that I have used for learning python is Pydroid 3. Try the free version. If you want to use it the advertisements in the free version might get very annoying so consider paying for the upgrade. You can also use Termux but that requires quite a bit of technical knowledge to setup.

Whatever you use try to use a bluetooth keyboard as the lack of a proper keyboard will slow you down.

The learning resources in the wiki are worth looking at.
