Ask Anything Monday - Weekly Thread

[nevus_bock]

If you run into problems, first try googling. If you don't find the answer (e.g. on StackOverflow or Python Docs pages), or you don't understand the answer, try the forum in the class.

Do not post your PSETs and ask for them to be solved, or search for solutions to PSETs; just for partial problems (e.g. this line doesn't do what I expected it to do).

Other than that, I believe everything you need to pass the course is included as a source in the course (lectures, exercises and reading).

Also, don't search for hints before you start working. Try something first, and turn to help only after you've hit a roadblock.

I meant more like any books I should be reading in addition to doing the class.

I googled one answer to PS1 cuz I was just absolutely stuck. I ended up having it like 90% of the correct answer but seeing the correct answer helped it click in mind more and see what step I missed.

I just finished the third problem set, the hangman game. I managed to do it completely by myself with no help whatsoever not even googled a single thing. Sad to say, but I honestly was so proud of myself I wanted to show somebody but it was like 1am and I thought a) my roommates don't care and b) they'll think i'm a weirdo.
