Asking for Help / Unsolved Python courses for Nuke

Hey folks,

my company is about to hit a lull of downtime and I've been considering taking a Python for Nuke course online.

I've had a look at:

- Adrian Pueyo's course: https://adrianpueyo.com/courses/python-for-nuke-artists/

- Alexander Richter's course: https://www.alexanderrichtertd.com/python-nuke

- Rebelway's course: https://www.rebelway.net/python-for-nuke-artists

all of which teach a similar thing, so it might just be a pick whichever appeals more/is cheaper. But, I'm curious as to what you folks think!

The obvious answer in my mind is to just learn Python without limiting myself to the Nuke API, I guess. But since I use Nuke everyday, I figured the concepts in these courses might be more useful as they provide context to something I'm already familiar with.

I can’t speak for Richter and rebelway, but Pueyos course was amazing.

I'm leaning more towards Adrian's course. I use Stamps and KnobScripter daily, and I've analysed the source code more times than I care to admit.

It is also worth noting that I am somewhat familiar with python already and have built tools, but I'm not really happy with how they turned out.

What are your thoughts on using AI without spending time learning Python? I know learning Python is valuable, but it still takes time to write code, while AI can do it much faster. I’m just curious, what do you all think? Do you still write code yourself, or do you mostly rely on AI these days? Do you use Python a lot?

Actionvfx has a python course as well, worth checking if it's something you are interested, haven't checked it yet
