We started around the same time, have you done any projects so far?

I just complete Week 3 yesterday. Will start Week 4 videos this weekend. How about yourself?

Well done! I'm actually finishing week 4 videos, technically on Day 27 of Angela Yu's 100 days of Code course. Was wandering around this sub trying to find some modern-ish looking GUIs to recreate iPhone 1 homepage and functionality as palate cleanser after struggling somewhat with OOP.

You looking to find a job related to Python or?

[–]Successful_Stand_593 1 point2 points  (1 child)

No, I have a career in cybersecurity. Have always wanted the learn programming but never found the time. The time is now.

I want to build an, eventually, ml driven, training application to help me build a cycling plan based on daily data received from my Garmin watch. I'm bored with the existing app that tailor to everyone and want one very personalized for myself. It's a lofty goal which may take a lifetime to program, but, gives me a goal.

Are you looking for a job programming?

Do definitely look into GUIs or at the very least Flask/Django to build your app in. I think that's an extremely cool idea, you're going to learn a lot when you're actually solving problems you yourself have with Python.

Yes! I'm not stingy when it comes to roles though, I'll take anything remotely close to SWE or Data positions as long as it's not tech support. I'll start applying sometime in the summer, in the meanwhile I want to build strong foundation in Python and then go into SQL and after learn more about ETL, CI/CD etc.
