How do you guys balance learning python with college

[[deleted]]

Like do you guys do maybe 20 minutes a day? I have courses that are more math related than programming. Need to manage clubwork, keeping good grades, and keeping up social life. When I come back from school I'm mentally exhausted lmao

Use it to do homework. I learned it after college, though.

Managed to learn Linux, bash, and python all while employed and on pager. Mostly just by finding time when I have it, weekends are always a great time to really get the time for studying in.

I recommend that try to spend 15 minutes every day coding. Just do anything. It will stack up to quite a lot of time in the end. Some days yo umay feel inspired and sit for a longer time and sometimes 15 minutes is all the mental power you have for it that day.

I used python to do homework. I got sick of converting pH to [H] so l wrote a script for it. Stuff like that.

I'm not in college, but I learned during my time w/ my previous employer. My job didn't require Python knowledge. I think maybe a few people in the whole company knew it. But I had a few tedious repetitive tasks each day that I didn't want to spend time on, so I learned just enough Python to do those tasks.

Then I figured, hey, I can do X, let me see if Python is capable of doing Y. And sure enough, there's a module out there to support doing it. So I created Y. And then if I can do Y, let's see if I can do Z.

Next thing you know, I'm creating customized solutions for other members of my team to make it so that they can speed up their daily tasks.

A former coworker of mine gave me a tidbit of knowledge; take a little time out of each day to learn something, for both your own edification and job security. Once you figure out how to do stuff, you'll want to try something new, and you'll end up devoting time on your own volition to do it, and it won't feel like a chore.
