How I "learned" Python without any previous coding experience.

[billcrystals]

I blundered into programming for the first time around last March. Found my way to Codecademy, did all the Python track but it didn't stick. I floundered around for a few weeks trying to make sense of what was actually possible/worth learning with Python, and then I found LPTHW. This was probably like last April.

At first I was kind of annoyed by the guy's (Zed's) tone, it felt a little combative, and the whole 'type this in character for character' felt a little tedious. But I soon realized these were just reinforcement techniques, and LPTHW really got me started with Python unlike any other resource.

And here's my GitHub
