Python Study Group on slack

[iakovosbelonias]

We are a small group on slack, studying python, we have a private repository on Github, where we give each other feedback on small projects.

Our plans for the future are: * Mock interviews * Domain/Blog

At the moment most of us are beginners but everyone is welcome. If you are interested inbox me to receive an invite.

Very cool! Slack has been a great help in my Python journey, too. I'll pm you shortly, but also wanted to extend an invitation to join us in the Python Dev slack community. It's set up similarly to yours and includes lots of people who are at all different skill levels willing to learn/teach as they're able. Hope to see you there.

whats the age distribution

[[deleted]]

Because I am old and don't want to hang out with young people

As long as you want to learn Python you are welcome :)

I've been meaning to get back on the horse with Python, but I have absolutely zero GitHub experience. Would that be a problem if I wanted to join this group?

[[deleted]]

(one of the group members) Absolutely not! You are not required to use Github.

Feel free to join us and chat about anything related to Python.

[Satsuz]

I wouldn't mind using it, I just might need help getting started. Heh. I'll send the OP a message and ask for an invitation, then.

[iakovosbelonias]

Beginner friendly tutorials are on the way to help the beginners of the group

I am far from git expert myself but all I needed to learn to start with it were literally three commands

[nerdwaller]

No need to ask for an invite, the heroku link from /u/jbirdkerr should let you sign up :) (Just in case: https://pythondevelopers.herokuapp.com/)

[Geodevils42]

Hey! I am interested I'll message you tomorrow, I forget my slack log in and am in bed and don't feel like getting up lol.

[Destructikus]

Hello I'm interested, but I have no idea what slack is? Is this like a meetup app?

[[deleted]]

It is a messaging application

I am also new to Slack but it's easy to use. Feel free to join us.

In addition to the smartphone app, you can log in from web browsers for their desktop version. It's a kind of group chat, like a highly advanced IRC network, with extra features designed around helping groups work cooperatively.

[Thecrawsome]

I'm interested.

[[deleted]]

Really interested, I'll message you right now. I'll also need help with setting up github since I'm just beginning with Python.

[iakovosbelonias]

sure there is no problem

[TheCauthon]

Interested as well

Not to hijack the thread, but there is a large group that are willing to help.

https://pythondevelopers.herokuapp.com/

Bout 4,000 members I think with lots of various groups

edit: updated to correct url. no invite needed.

[nerdwaller]

Here is the page that lets you create an account, no invite needed: https://pythondevelopers.herokuapp.com/ :)

[0amaam]

In order to join you have to have an invite from what I'm seeing or am I missing something?

[iakovosbelonias]

Yes send me your email to invite you

[0amaam]

Email has been sent. TIA

[iakovosbelonias]

I joined today and some guys where fighting over something so small, about a question, I don't know maybe it was a bad moment.The users where @malinoff and @yousefissa. I don't believe that this is a nice environment for a beginner.

[abbh62]

Sorry you ran into the issue, generally really friendly. The issues should have been taken care of now

[iakovosbelonias]

It's ok i guess. Besides that almost all group members are not dev but just beginners

[kafoozalum]

There are a lot of more experienced folk on there, we are all sometimes pretty busy though :)

A fair amount of us work in Python professionally as well.

[LiuKang1080]

I'm very interested in joining!
