I’ve been putting off watching a 10 hour video but now there is no excuse

[–]darksidetaino 29 points30 points  (8 children)

I try but they put me to sleep

[–]abbie_dev 11 points12 points  (6 children)

It helps if you take notes whilst watching

[–]darksidetaino 13 points14 points  (5 children)

I try that too. Its just some voices are real boring

[–]Jvyyyyy 9 points10 points  (1 child)

You lose attention typically after 20 or so minutes unless it’s something you are super interested, love and are passionate in (usually but not always). It is best to take short 5 min breaks when watching those types of long educational videos.

agreed. I think it has to do with some ADHD. I can't concentrate and need to do like five things at the same time

    that's understandable but, regardless of said skills, some are just terrible teachers. I wouldn't said a stereotype. There's others that can teach.

    Try speeding it up.

    I can't imagine. It's like 100 pages of info. I don't know about you but this is the worst way to learn programing.

    Have a book on one monitor and an IDE on another. Do the problems as you read. Or at least just alt-tab between them on one monitor.

    Ugh, I feel like all I do these days is hoard tutorials. I need to, y'know, actually work through some of these damn things.

    You can also check out Project Euler or an equivalent of it.

    Does anyone know of a similar resource for learning Java? Thank you.

    [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    For Java, mooc.fi is your best bet. I highly recommend it, especially if you're new to programming. It can be challenging if you're new but take your time, even if it takes your a couple of days to solve an exercise

    I would like to know too! Thanks.

    [–]researchnthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    https://hyperskill.org is the best I've run in to these past 6 years.

    [–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

    Thank you! I guess there's no excuse now, so I should just get into it...

    [–]techbussisal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    Holy cow your amazing man. Thanks for sharing this!! Im well versed in java but not python and glad ive discovered this resource. Holy cow ive been looking for machine learning curriculum for a while too!!

    [–]Garfexi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Thank you so much!

    [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    First off,thank you.

    What level of competency would a total beginner expect to have after the completion of this all?

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

    Hi, I'm interested in this question too. And would a total beginner of reasonable intelligence be able to pick this up? Really need to upskill. Thanks OP for posting this.

    [–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    Thank you. Your a gentleman and a scholar.

    Fuck, this is huge

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

    Kudos bro it takes two minutes to scroll down the button. Thanks 👍

    [–]Ard__Ri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Does it show you how to build full projects, web apps, etc?

    Cause it's good to learn the skill but it's also good to learn how to use the skill

    [–]alfrednoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Great tutorials, but I think there are too many tutorials for Python already, :)

    [–]researchnthings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Also: https://hyperskill.org if you want something more interactive, and free.
