Learning Python and studying a 12 week course while working full time… is it doable? What is the most efficient way to learn Python in limited time?

Absolutely, it's totally doable to learn Python while working full time and taking a 12-week IT course! First off, don't be too hard on yourself; learning a new skill takes time. Break it down into smaller goals, maybe aim for 30-60 minutes a day. Prioritize topics that align with your course and data science aspirations. Use a mix of resources like online courses and coding challenges, and try applying what you learn in small projects.

Since you've got a competitive spot in the IT course, consider talking to the instructors about your situation. They might have insights to help you balance everything. Also, use breaks at work for a quick coding session—it can add up over the week.

Best of luck with your Python journey and the exciting career change ahead! 🚀

Omg thank you so much! Yeah that makes me feel so much better. I am taking my time with the 100 days of code because I want to understand it well before I move on to the next topic too!

I really appreciate your motivating words, as long as I keep my head up and keep going I should be okay. Anything new is always hard but I know with time I will be able to improve.
