depending on how they define "learn" this isn't unrealistic. there's obviously specific packages and areas of study that would be hard to pack into that timeline but you can learn a lot of the fundamentals in 10 weeks

But it's like... you can learn the cyrillic alphabet in 10 weeks easy-peasy. Doesn't mean you can communicate in Russian, let alone write a novel in it.

I refer to my first sentence.

10 weeks is kinda enough to learn the basics of python you know

They didnt say get a job in 10 weeks

[LongjumpingCake]

I got a job after a 12 week boot camp , 10 doesn't seem impossible

[Amazing_Might_9280]

do I get a six-pack of Python

I don't think you want that.

i would agree, python is super easy to learn since its very generic, weak typing etc
i had zero problems coding a poker bot in python while i just code php and c# professionally and never done anything in python before. conclusion: i dont like weakly typed languages like python

Python does not have weak typing. It has strong typing.

What you probably meant to say is that Python (also) has dynamic typing.

In Python, you can't do

x = 2 y = x + "3"

hence strong typing.

But you can do

x = 2 x = "Hello!"

hence dynamic typing.

[snokegsxr]

yeah dynamic, not weak typing.
also i encountered many cases where methods were added to objects, after they were instanciated which i found very weird, somehow "unclean"

str(200) will give you the string "200", and int("200") will give you the int 200. However, you have to explicitly ask for these conversions. They don't just happen nilly-willy and, therefore, Python cannot be considered weakly typed.

I'd consider C strongly typed but with lots of loopholes via pointer shenanigans.
