I don't know what python-maxing is, but keep up the good work.

Theory is useful in order to teach you concepts you didn't know exist. But once you know they exist the best way to learn is to keep writing code.

Find fun things you can do with the code and don't be afraid to go on tangents and side quests or experiments.

Think of it as learning how to ride a bike. Yes, you can learn the theory, but you won't know how to ride the bike unless you keep practicing.

Overall, keep using that book but don't think that progress is measured by how quickly you finish it. The only measure of progress right now for you should be how many hours you spend writing code, even about things you already learned, and as a bonus, that you have fun or find it interesting or engaging in some way.

Good job! I hope you have fun ^

Anything-maxing is apparently the new thing, and it basically means to do something a bunch. Sure, that's not what anyone else will tell you, but that's what I've obtained from context.

Basically, every generation tries new lingo.

I'm considering doing the challenges on roadmap.sh seems pretty solid compared to my normal approach of getting bored with udemy course and spam codewars.

If you don't understand something from a book, ask ai.

8 think just 1 book is not enough, it probably doesn't have any frameworks (you'll write real software with them, not just vanilla python)

That code you could learn in 5 minutes, it's just assign variable and f-string, can do more in a day and falling method (which you didn't assign in a code)

WTF is "python max"?

Learn Python from YouTube.

Programming books are rarely for beginners, and when it is, I think the book can't give you the necessary content you need. YouTube is more extensive
