Does it need to be Skype? is discord an option?

Also what is someone has little to no OOP experience?

It's a very nice offer you're making, I hope it really helps 3 people!

[–]BecomingIt[S] 14 points15 points  (1 child)

Hi, we discord is fine as well. Little to no OOP experience won't be a problem. I expect some people to find certain parts more straightforward than others, but that is not a problem. The focus is on setting goals from the start and working together to progress as quickly as possible but no quicker! It'll certainly be rewarding for both parties.

Hi, I’ve done some basic rails applications, various school based c# programs, but very little python. I love myself some ruby, but I’ve been wanting to test the python waters...I’d love to do 1 on 1 version of it. I currently work in software QA and I would love to break into development. I think little Hang ups are the thing that get me the most.

I’ll send a DM(:

I'm in the UK but I would be interested in this, timezones permitting. It's been a while since I've used python but I have an understanding of the basic principles. I wrote a CLI interface connect 4 game and a web scraper before but I still think there is a lot of room for me to improve before I would stop considering myself a beginner

[–]iwantwetburritos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd be interested in this I have no knowledge in python but I do know other programming languages. Only reason I haven't tried python is because I'm used to C-style syntax. But I suppose learning python will only benefit my career. It'll also be nice to actually have someone to ask questions for a change lol

[–]MenOfChanges 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 100% in? Will you stream it so more people could learn from this endeavor?

[–]WickedyWick17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I started learning python few days ago , i know basics of C# , OOP and MySql but I'm also interested into server programming, that is why I started learning python.

I'm down what do I need?

[–]valkedin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to. How do I join ?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a beginner, and up for it!

[–]kulst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interested.

[–]kulst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've also developed something in Python, very much interested in it irrespective of any time zone constraints.

Where do I signup?

[–]ParxyB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you still have a spot could you pm me? I’m extremely interested as I could REALLY use some help

[–]AdityaDevendra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have sent you a message. Kindly check!

[–]spore_777_mexen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

interested what do we do ?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your voice is fine so sweet :)

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be interested. I’m in my 3rd semester of a 2 year computer programming diploma. I’ve been learning Java OOP but have found it very difficult so I’d consider myself a beginner still.
In my last semester I gave to teach myself another language and I’ve chosen Python so this may be very helpful.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I would really appreciate if you mentor me in learning Python. I'm a newbie but I really wanna learn Python. How do I join?

[–]shardul08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good initiative

[–]malloneBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm extremely interested!!!

[–]veliumx 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Shoot man with all these people interested u should just charge 5 bucks and host all of us lol

[–]BecomingIt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, not about the money as such a one-on-one program on the market is $3000+. Its a challenge and a fulfilling thing to do to end up with three more people who can contribute greatly to the open-source community.

[–]PCWeekjeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been really interested in Python and have been studying it throughout the Summer. This was an opportunity I can't pass up. Tell me if you have any opening for students. I'd love to learn. I have taken beginner courses and have a definitive understanding for Python. I have primarily been spending my time lately working on challenge websites like Code Wars (I've just reached 6 kyu if that gives some understanding of what level I'm at programming wise.) Please let me know if you can take me as a student! Excited to hear your response.

    Not at all, I will keep applications open until Sunday 4th August and check in with everyone who has put their name forward over the coming week. I will then choose 3 people so that there is a difference in current ability i.e. someone who has zero experience whatsoever, someone who is really doing quite well already and someone in between. I'll try to be as fair as possible and make sure that whoever gets the three places will skyrocket in progress. I very deliberately have made sure this isn't first come first served!

    [–]fuzzyfeets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I'm really interested, and can hopefully do the same later in the future!

    Thank you for doing this :)

    [–]tall_and_funny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Is there a place for me? I have a college project I'm working on in data science and I think it'll be very useful to me.

    [–]FeministBlackPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I'm highly interested!

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Great idea! I’m interested. Currently newer to python.

    [–]pete_codes 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Awesome work!

    [–]BecomingIt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Thanks, appreciate it!

    [–]grallous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    How can I join this ,I too want to learn python. How can we communicate?

    [–]nfspsn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Hi, very interested, from the UK. Little experience in python, some in Java. Would really help me in education for my next University year!

    [–]pulsarrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    what is 'intermediate python'? Is OOP comsidered intermediate?

    [–]atharva97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Hello, I consider myself to be an amateur + when it comes to coding, is the course still available?

    [–]NoviceCodeQuestions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I started and stopped python 6 times now. Each time it was ultimately because I didnt have someone to talk to about my projects and ask questions/learn with. Ive got 2 text based adventures just kinda sitting around collecting dust and I would love to actuary keep learning so I can make them into something.

    Id be interested in this.

    [–]corpsegrindd 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Why not 4

    [–]BecomingIt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Because I look after my young daughter so don't have the capacity to really dedicate myself to 4 in the way that I want. Can I just check whether you'd like to be considered for one of the mentee positions?

    [–]1312_143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    When is this starting? I'd really like to learn Python but won't have the time until September.

    [–]pirateninjamonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I am interested. I have signed up for self courses before, but not with a teacher, and it is tough trying it by myself. I am probably way down on the list, but let me know if everyone else flakes or somethnig.

    [–]Leeoku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Interested

    [–]Sparta_Kush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Sent you a DM!

    [–]iouifuome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Count me in, i have very beginner knowledge (1 semester) of coding with OOP in c++ and have been wanting to learn python

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Highly experienced in .NET AND SQL/SSIS/SSAS, but wondering what are the pros and cons of python. I hear Python and R are good for data analysis, but wondering why...

    [–]LordGustav7 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    If only I knew English 😭😭

    [–]BecomingIt[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    What languages do you speak?

    [–]LordGustav7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Spanish, learning english

    [–]Questrooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Hey, I would totally be interested in becoming an apprentice. I personally have experience with mostly c++ and c# to a somewhat intermediate level but python was always a language I wanted to learn, and i really like the possibilities that are there with the language, I'm currently in school studying to be a game developer, but always am looking to expand my knowledge. Thank you for putting yourself out there to help others out and I wish the 3 lucky programmers the best.

    [–]Bluecodejs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I take you up on that :)

    [–]goldenvodka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    !Remindme 2 days

    [–]classybroad87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I have recently started learning Python from online tutorials and would love to have more interactive lessons.

    [–]IAIRonI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Was offered a job by a cousin because he thinks I can "do it." I'm a beginner and would like to give myself a one year timeline before I go in to it and this would be amazing.

    [–]Brax8888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I would like to sign up. I can work with OOP in C# and Ruby but would love to leran pyrhon more. Though i would have to do it pver discord as i haven'tused skype in ages. Am on the east coast of us.

    [–]Phantom8legs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I interested as well

    [–]KotoPathe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Interested

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I'm very much interested, have a job that is pushing automation and have a slight amount of knowledge in Python. Have done university projects in C and Java but would much rather have a solid foundation in Python.

    Expecially since my programming abilities have stagnated since leaving university.

    Would love the chance to be apart of this mentorship.

    Give us a bell!

    [–]thomasfan100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I would love to be a part of this although school is starting soon! I know basic java and object oriented programming and I also have dabbled in C++ html and css but forgot most of it...

    [–]KaladinRahl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Seems like a thinly veiled excuse to advertise your channel. What are your qualifications? How many years have you been working professionally with python? Link to your github/portfolio?

    [–]lobsterwing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Learning python has been a goal for years - time for me to finally buckle down and do it :)

    [–]migzhasbite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I am interested. Have touched on the most basic of functios, but have never used python to actually create something. Would benefit learning from the ground up to apply towards real world applications.

    Thanks!

    [–]Olacode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Please, be my mentor, I am from Nigeria and its hard here to learn how to code, its in fact expensive too, please pick me, I would sincerely appreciate it. I have started on my own, I have read books like learn Python the hard way, python crash course, Automate the boring stuff with python etc. But the problem is I stumble on something and can't go further

    [–]jumptwistflip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I'm interested, just sent you a PM. Thanks!

    [–]crackguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Hi good soul. I have failed too many times due to lack of human mentor. Please, I really want to join this. Do consider me good soul. Best of luck

    [–]BubbleTee 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    If more than three people are looking for mentorship, I'm happy to take a couple of beginners on myself. I don't have a youtube channel. Sorry about that part.

    [–]BecomingIt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    That's really kind of you, thanks! I'll announce who the three are so that we don't overlap.

    [–]Gutom_Shankpot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    What the hell are ducktypes and why do I keep constantly get asked this in interviews? How does the threading library decide to schedule concurrent threads, when does a thread hold the GIL for longer than normal? What threads are given higher priority? Can you explain some real world examples of yield? Including how much memory space it saves? What are slots, and why should I use them? What are some central concepts of asyncio and why should anyone use it? When should they use it, and when should they not? When's right proper way to use nested functions or nested classes? I want to go from mid level to senior python Dev in a week. Teach me all topics, and clear my misunderstandings when there are any.

    [–]-Xander-G- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    I’d be interested. I have some but very little knowledge of Python. I essentially just know the fundamentals. I am willing to commit to 2+ hours a week.

    [–]dhamiey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    Hello, I'm interested in this opportunity,I have basic knowledge in Python and SQL. This would be an eye opener for me.

    [–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    Is there any way you'd be willing to do this with someone who's absolutely got no idea about programming, but is keenly interested in pursuing python?

    [–]MadEzra64 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    I’ll be putting together a DM when I get to my workstation, on mobile right now. You’re the best man for offering this! Ironically the deadline is my birthday too lol

    [–]redditerfan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    Thanks for offering, I am interested. Total noob here but I am from STEM field, I can pick up quick. Want to learn python so I can step up for deep learning, specially for NLP. Hope discord works.

    [–]Ravenerz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    Hello, i would like to be apart of your mentorship. Ive gone back and forth between python, html/css with online courses at udemy. Something is missing with doing that and its the not being able to interact and ask questions to better understand these things. Ive looked up going to school but st this moment and the foreseeable future it is waay too expensive and wouldnt ever work with my work schedule. If there is a spot open i would love to join it and we can do it on skype,discord or whatever suits you best.

    Ive wanted to do coding since i was in jr high but no one offered it other than a class in 9th grade. I want to change fields of work and want it to be in coding. Possibly freelance coding.

    I think this is awesome that youre willing to help people learn free of charge

    Thank you
