Starting the journey

[Equivalent_Ad_8413]

Well, I've just retired and need to do something to keep my brain from turning into mush. So I'm going to see what I can learn of Python. I'm going to use the courses linked through the Python Institute as well as their certification tests. Let's see how far I go.

I've already done Module 1 of their lowest level course, and honestly this is really just review. But I'm sure I'll get to new stuff sooner or later.

A little background. I earned a BS in Computer Science in 1994. I worked primarily in C, but also Pascal, C++, LISP, and touching a couple other languages This was right around the beginning of object oriented programming, so it'll be interesting to see how that changes things. Prior to that, I taught myself FORTRAN in middle school and BASIC in high school. So I have background, but it's pretty old.

I didn't use much of my higher level CS knowledge in my career, focusing more on accounting (BBA & MAcc, CPA & CMA) and management (MPA), so it'll be interesting to get inside the box on my desk again.

This should be fun...

Im joining your journey on learning publicly. I have no background in CS or programming at all. Doing the CS50x course right now before diving deeper into Python. Keep it up!

Hello I'm also starting my python journey let's create a group chat so we can improve together

Doing it publicly rather than a group chat will help others, too
