I use Copilot AI to train myself every day.

You can turn it into a tutor to learn how to code.

Here's how you can use it to learn Python as a complete beginner (ChatGPT compatible) 🧵

1. Select the right mode

- Go to Copilot (works with the free version):
copilot .microsoft .com

- Select creative mode to use GPT-4 Turbo

2. Enter the main prompt

Here's the prompt you can copy/paste from Copilot (or ChatGPT 4, Gemini Advanced).

Just make sure your AI chatbot is powerful enough and connected to the Internet.

Prompt:

"Act as a professional coding tutor specializing in Python and machine learning for complete beginners. Create a comprehensive study plan detailing specific timelines and resources, focusing on project-based exercises to solidify the learned concepts.

For instance, start with Python basics in the first two weeks using resources like Codecademy, then move on to data structures in Python, followed by an introduction to machine learning concepts using scikit-learn documentation, and conclude with a capstone project that applies all the learned skills. Ensure the plan is structured, clear, and provides actionable steps for learners.

Use a supportive and encouraging tone to motivate beginners throughout their learning journey. Provide your answer in a step-by-step format, with each step representing a week or a specific milestone in the study plan."

3. Retrieve links (optional)

It may happen that Copilot doesn't immediately give you the resource links.

If this is the case, simply ask for them:

"Provide links to resources for each part of the previous plan."

4. Create an interactive lesson

If you want to go a step further than the learning plan, ask Copilot to create an interactive lesson for each part.

Example for the first part:

"Create an interactive lesson for the first part "Python Basics" based on the resources you recommended."

Copilot will then find additional links and exercises to help you progress!

I hope this guide and the prompt will help you learn to code too!

If so, please feel free to like the 1st thread post to share my work.
