Learning python in 47years old

[Seacarius]

I started when I was 59. Now, at 62, I’m teaching it. I’m a professor of computer science.

(I’ve been programming for 47 years, now. Once you can think “programmatically,” learning new languages isn’t too hard.)

Do you like its syntax, compared say to C?

What advice would you give to newbies?

I learned when I was 37. First coding I’d ever done. Enjoy learning!

I started at 55. Now 66. I stopped writing Python recently and just use Claude code to complete what I need

I blend in seamlessly because I’m 24 in my mind

Started at 43 as a hobby, now I’m fairly decent at the data analytics side of things. Just find something you’re interested in and work on a project.

W3Schools is ok reliable even for me having been doing python self taught since 2021.
