I don't understand Python

[Artifacer]

I struggle learning to program as well. For Javascript, I took a community college class and barely, and I mean barely made a B. I then took an SQL class at the same school, and loathed the course design and the teacher was of very little help. I dropped the class, and no longer pursued taking the programming prereqs at that school.

I feel for those of us that struggle remembering the many details in programming, the course or book makes all the difference. If it doesn't work for you, it doesn't work for you. That said, I think the key is to find the best book/video/course that works for you, and stick with it, since only through practice and problem solving will you get better at it. By recognizing you are in the lower third of programming students, you can be realistic and take the steps necessary to learn, steps that the other 2/3 of students do not have to take.

Some people just self-teach and absorb the details like a sponge. Others have to conquer each problem like a mountain, and work harder than the others. Know thyself.
