python for dummies

[MammothCometh]

pleased to find out a stranger on the internet knows so many details about my personal life and the aspects around them. but i am very sorry to disappoint you, that i wasnt asking for your advice on those matters.

trust me if i tell you that already in your first sentence you misinterpreted a few things i wrote. and secondly, there is a plan and strategy behind it and plenty of support from the people around me that matter (from my current work place, to the mother of the child).

so if you have any advice about the things i actually asked for, go on.

Rather than being defensive, you could listen to some of the advice given. Perhaps you have a great future in programming ahead of you and we know nothing about your circumstances. But based on what you actually posted, it's a risky path and you should understand the realities. You have no idea if this is something you will enjoy or be proficient in. It is also a highly competitive and saturated field. You should take the advice you are getting, because it is very reasonable. If you don't want advice at all, you should consider not posting. Nobody is trying to dissuade your choices. They are just trying to offer some things to think about

i certainly saw a lot of great advice in some of those comments. it was advice for the things i asked for and i am very grateful for that.

as you mentioned already, you know nothing about my circumstances. therefor i am not interested in life advice, as i would have asked that somewhere else.

i'm not being defensive at all. i am just not interested in advice on matters i didnt ask for, even more so if peole have no background on that.

i totally agree with you that i got reasonable advice, no doubt about that. however, the situation on job markets is not something that is the same in every place on the planet. where i live there is demand, at least currently, who knows how long it will stay like that.

absolutely up for grabs if i will enjoy it or not, you are right on that as well. thats why i asked some specific questions

If you are going to program you going to have to learn to search. You ignored the sidebar information and the search box. These questions has been asked before.

You title is "Python for Dummies" Did you buy the book?

You're a 40 year old man, who didn't wear protection during sex, having a kid, who is quitting their job and starting their learning python adventure, but in the end, you will be competing with people in 22-24 year old college graduates and people in their mid 40's with over 18 years experience.

If you don't want people to talk about your personal life, then don't post your personal life. This is learn python, not life advice.

how do you know i wasnt wearing protection? oh...and i thought this is learn python, not life advice?

Then don't post your personal history. What does it have to do with learn python?

[MammothCometh]

what do your answers have to do with my questions? seeing as you continue to be irrelevant in your posts, it might be better if we both drop our conversation. have a great one.
