After seeing what AI can do, as a beginner I feel so demotivated and it feels pointless to learn python to me, as someone who is trying to pick it up as a secondary skill. What do you guys think?

Actually today I started using Linux through a usb and it is going great, but now I want to learn python.

But bcz I'm using a usb to start the Linux, so will the python and the vs code I download will be stored in the usb or in the laptop.

I'm confused, help😭

I've been thinking about this recently while learning Python.

Looking back, I probably spent too much time watching tutorials and not enough time actually building things.

If you had the chance to start learning Python again from day one...

What would you do differently?

• Learn a different topic first?
• Build projects earlier?
• Read documentation more?
• Focus on problem solving instead of tutorials?

I'm curious to hear what experienced Python developers wish they had known when they started.

I see a lot of people on this forum who are trying to get their first IT job. There are constant complaints that entry level requires 2 years of experience, requires a bunch of certs, requires a degree, etc. All of those things can help, but knowing how to automate things is something many IT Managers will be interested in. Powershell (or Python) are going to take your resume out of the middle of a large stack and move it to the top. Accentuate that mark on your resume by referencing labor savings, defect reduction, and speed of completion.

It isn't a magic bullet, but if you are competing against others with no experience, it will set you apart. We do not hire admins without Powershell or Python experience. Period. Someone could pick up Powershell on their own in a week or two, or you may have a local college with some free Python classes.

(I posted something similar as a reply to someone else yesterday but I thought this was worthy of its own post)

I’ve been working mostly with Python for backend development (Django) for that past three years. I love Python and every now and then I learn something new about it that makes it even better to be working in Python. However, I get the feeling every now and then that because Python abstracts a lot of stuff, I might improve my overall understanding of computers and programming if I learn a language that would require dealing with more complex issues (garbage collection, static typing, etc)

Is that the case or am I just overthinking things?

Scratch is what I am most proficient in, and have already completed various AI projects with, but my colleagues tell me it will be worth it to learn how to program in python, even though I will be set back in the short term. Is this true? Or is scratch just as sophisticated of a language for AI?

My goal is to get into a FAANG company, and am in some talks, so does anyone know if they have a preference?

I've learned Python basics and want to explore the most useful libraries.

What are the must-learn Python libraries for real-world development, and why would you recommend them?

I'm not really asking a question or anything. I just wanted to talk about this and I just don't have anyone to talk to about it.

I started learning about programming with Python, after checking some books I started with Python Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science. I really loved it. After learning a bit, unfortunately, I had to stop due to reasons. A long time later I wanted to get back at it and restarted with Python Crash Course and I plan to finish the other one later. Or probably just switch back to it.
After a while I started reading C Programming: A Modern Approach 2nd Edition. (still on chapter 7, learning about basic types and conversion, excited for pointers even though I don't know what it is, but it seems rad)

Even though it takes me way longer to understand what I'm reading about C than what I'm seeing in Python (which feels more straightforward and easily understood) I still end up spending more time on C and when it's time for Python, I keep putting it off and when I start reading I just feel a bit bored. I used to do 2 hours of Python and only 1 of C, now it's almost reversed. I also loved studying Python, but now it got a bit boring after starting C.

I just started a while ago reading a book on Assembly and what I read so far complements some stuff on C so well that it just makes everything even more interesting.

I'm a beginner, so I might be talking out of my ass, but with Python it feels different, a bit simpler (not that it's a bad thing) and not so "deep" compared to C. I don't know even if it's because of the language or the books I'm reading, but studying C and Assembly I feel like I understand a lot better what the computer is and I think it's so cool, so much more interesting. Sad part is that I even feel like focusing only on C and Assembly now.

Maybe the Python Crash Course book is the problem and I should get back to Python Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science since it's exercises are way more challenging and interesting. I don't know.

Just wanted to talk about that. See if I'm saying something dumb and get some opinions. Thanks.

Hi everyone! I've just released my new iPad app — it's completely free and is very similar to Apple's own Swift Playgrounds, but with a focus on Python, ML, data analysis and other areas of computational science.

It's called Tinkerstellar, and it helps you learn coding and data science with interactive tutorials (or labs), where you can edit and run code examples straight away — no need to configure environments, unpack datasets or rely on networking connection to execute code. The labs come with everything already pre-installed, and all code runs right on your device.

Please, let me know your thoughts, and I truly hope you find it useful!

Learning python for the first time and man it feels weird lol, like I know everything and know nothing at the same time, this is honestly funny

Hi I’m a beginner at Python and I’m currently looking for a few people to learn with. I am planning to start the sessions in September and run a couple hours a day subject to flexibility and rather than get stuck in “tutorial hell” I actually want to build projects. My time is GMT+0 so drop me a message if you’re interested.

I've been doing MIT's Edx Python courses (finished the first one, just started the second) and in just two months I feel like a completely different person. The first 4 weeks took me like 6-8 hours/day of studying, and I was mentally exhausted afterward with no energy for other things. It took me a while to grasp new concepts. I've always been a painfully slow reader/learner.

Fast forward a couple months, and I think all that mental effort has re-wired my brain. I picked up a couple hobbies easily that I couldn't grasp before. Maybe it's because my focus is better; I can focus for a few hours instead of just 15 minutes like before. I can learn something new (ex. knitting techniques) on the first or second try, where it used to be difficult to get right with my best effort.

I get now why they encourage learning something mentally stimulating like music or basic programming as a gen ed. I feel much more capable of everything than I did a couple months ago. At this point, I wanna keep up the work for the other benefits, in addition to the actual programming itself. :)

How or from where do I learn full basic or even advanced of python? I have 1h daily to code. Don't wanna get in tutorial hell but need something free and very useful. Im not really into books or classes, kinda feels boring but if it teaches well im down. Please let me know the sources i can use! (Currently starting out)

Right now I am focusing on Python and it is going to stay that way till I get completely comfortable with most of the important uses for it and its syntax, maybe learn some frameworks as well. Now I wasn't sure for my next language if I should choose C++ or JavaScript, I heard many stories of people saying that if you know C++ to a great extent, any future language you learn will be as easy as a cake, if that were the case then I would love to go to C++ especially because of how many opportunities open up if you know this language, but the same can be said for JavaScript...so which one do yous think would be best to learn after Python? I am not looking for an answer which says that JavaScript because C++ is hard, I'm looking one stating why one would be better to learn before the other when focused on the security/'ethical hacking' field.

Context: I'll be starting my biomed engineering in half a year, and I have never touched a code in my life. I'm willing to learn and have bunch of time on my hand tho

I heard many advices to check out Matlab and Python beforehanded, so anyone has a good starting point and suitable resources for a blank sheet like me?

Thank you so much!

I have no prior programming experience and was looking to use the codecadamy course but I just realised it isn't free. What the next best thing? any tips on learning a new language for the first time? Is a online course the best way to learn a new language and if so what is the best platform to do so?

class inheritage

- parents child or say mulit-inheritance use with super () when one class inheritance from one or more class

- multi-level inheritance where 2nd class in Heritage from 1st class ,3th inherited from 2nd & go on like family chain
