Websites for Self-Study (PS, Python, English)
1. PhotoShop Tutorials
If you want to self-learn Photoshop, it is recommended to start with the official tutorials provided by the PS website, which are available in Chinese.
One major drawback of printed or electronic books is that they are often not updated promptly. Many online tutorials reference outdated PS versions, such as PS8 or even earlier, whereas the official Photoshop tutorials are basically always up-to-date and aligned with the latest version of the software.
The official PS website also offers an online version of Adobe Photoshop, which includes basic features like layers, text, cropping, eyedropper, generative images, filters, and more. The only downside is that it runs a bit slower compared to the desktop client.

2. Python Tutorials
Python also provides official tutorials through the Python Documentation site, which includes a Chinese version. Tutorials are available for versions from Python 1.4 to 3.15; however, only versions from 3.5 onward have Chinese translations. Tutorials for versions before 3.5 are available only in English.

3. Language Learning Tutorials
There are many language learning resources, but the top two recommended are the BBC English tutorials and VOA English tutorials.
BBC offers standard British English, while VOA features American English. VOA is relatively simpler with slower speech, making it suitable for beginners to intermediate learners for foundational practice. BBC is slightly more challenging with faster speech, ideal for intermediate to advanced learners for more advanced practice.
Both BBC and VOA focus primarily on news-based programs and provide English language teaching content. BBC updates once a week, while VOA updates daily.
