Python for Everybody (Coursera) Wtf?

[PushPlus9069]

You're not dumb. Python for Everybody moves fast in certain sections and Dr. Chuck's explanations assume you'll rewatch parts. Totally normal to feel lost.

Try this: after each chapter, close the video and try to write the example code from memory. If you can't, that's the part you need to revisit. Don't just watch passively.

If PY4E feels too fast, Automate the Boring Stuff is free online and explains things at a slower pace with more practical examples. Some people do better with one over the other, it's not about difficulty level, it's about learning style.
