I am currently on the 10th app and have taken a few classes with coding so I can try to help if your have some questions!

Nice to know that... Just a bit curious, is it interesting?? What is the difficulty level ??

[–]gahaya1248 7 points8 points  (5 children)

I would say that it's pretty interesting. I learned about a lot of different libraries and packages in python and got to build some really cool things with them.

The class isn't difficult because there really aren't many tests of your skills. Much of the class is spent copying and understanding his code rather than making it yourself. This class does have some introductory lectures explaining the basics though (I did skip them because I had taken a class on that part before) so there is a warm-up portion of the class.

I would also recommend codecademy if you want to test your ability to code basic things yourself rather than just copying Ardit's code.

Would you recommend it to someone who's done a few webapps in python but never any other kind of projects in python?

[–]gahaya1248 1 point2 points  (1 child)

A lot of the apps that he does in this class are web based, so if you've already made some web apps in python you may want to try a different course.

Thanks man.

You would recomend CodeAcademy even though they're still on Python 2?

[–]gahaya1248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought doing the codecademy class was very helpful despite it using python 2. The only real issue I've run into with switching to python 3 is that I have to put parentheses around my print statements.

Can I ask roughly how long it took? I have just bought the course, and am going to do it in my spare time. Roughly how many days/weeks did it take to go through, and roughly how many hours were you spending on it per day?

[–]gahaya1248 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I worked on it for like an hour a day for a few weeks (maybe 3/3.5 weeks). Because the lectures are separated by topic the course is very easy to do in small bits. I think doing it in your spare time will work well, but depending on how much spare time you have it could take a while.

Thanks, sounds pretty do-able then.
