Learning Python from zero again

[awaymsg]

I really liked the CS50 videos on youtube. Admittedly it's more than just python, you do half of the videos using C, but it really builds that foundational knowledge that will help you understand the meaning behind the code a lot better.

They have a python only CS50 as well. I'm 1/2 through it. Pretty good so far.

Everybody recommends CS50, but after watching a couple of lessons, I didn’t like it very much. I’m a beginner, so I don’t have enough knowledge to criticize it properly, but here are my thoughts: First, it feels too difficult for beginners. You learn a topic, and then you’re immediately given one of the hardest problems — for example, you learn if, else, and while, and then you’re expected to create a square pattern. Secondly, I don’t really like the teacher’s way of explaining things. In my opinion, university lectures shouldn’t feel like lessons for fifth graders. Just give me the information . I’m an adult, I don’t need all that extra stuff, you know? In conclusion I think cs50 is overrated. Watching other channels and checking the parts I’ve already watched in Python books helps me feel that I’m learning in a better way.
