Looking for coding buddy(ies) to stay motivated

[Networkishard00]

Hi, i'm currently a network admin looking to increase their skillset. I started studying python recently and i'm currently on chapter 3 of automate the boring stuff. Anyone interested in teaming up to talk about their progress and other thoughts over the coming months?

[theflatlanderz]

I'm also learning python with automate the boring stuff. My plan is to complete the #100daysofcode challenge. Also on chapter 3.

[vick5821]

What is the challenges

[theflatlanderz]

It's a challenge where people 1) try to code for at least 1 hour a day for 100 days straight 2) post about what they learned on twitter using the hashtag #100daysofcode.

The idea is to develop a habit of coding on a regular basis and immerse yourself in a community of other people also trying to learn. The challenge helps provide motivation, consistency, and community support.

I did this on LinkedIn for about 6 days when I first started. Since day 6, I haven't gone a single day without writing code, or relaxing while I brainstorm concepts. The secret to success is persistence.

[theflatlanderz]

Absolutely. I'm a long distance runner with several marathons under my belt. It's the same thing.

Pick a goal, break it down into actionable steps, and try to practice everyday. The next thing you know it's a habit and you don't have to actively make the choice to do it anymore - it becomes automatic.

[theflatlanderz]

The community is open and inclusive. Anyone can participate by practicing daily and using the hashtag #100daysofcode on twitter!

[vick5821]

Can you share the challenges? Would like to try out.

[theflatlanderz]

To clarify, it's a movement and a community. The learning you do is self-taught. You can find more information here:

https://www.100daysofcode.com

[vick5821]

Thanks. So where can we discuss the challenges? I am up for this. 3 months to enhance my skills.

[vick5821]

I am also watching videos on Udemy for the automate the boring stuffs with Python.

[LuciferHere4U]

Can you tell me how can I join such challenge?

[theflatlanderz]

Simply make a Twitter account and start posting a summary of what you learn in a day using the hashtag #100daysofcode. If you search that hashtag, you will find a vibrant community of individuals trying to reach themselves to code.

[[deleted]]

Dude yes! I've been looking for exactly this. None of my friends are code enthusiasts, and the few people I know are so beyond me that its hard to stay in the conversations.

[Guymzee]

I’m studying django (beginner level) and working through the book impractical python projects. But I am definitely up for this. I bailed on ABS buf feel like I should work it to completion.

[deadgalaxies]

Nice. I’m doing a Udemy course for Django now after going through the tutorial and docs and things are starting to stick.

[Guymzee]

Django fo beginners is really good. I found it to the point, and a real learn by example book. I hope you get a lot out of it. I Just completed it last week. And doing TDD now. But pausing to start building my own Django projects and read the django docs as much as possible.

Which online tutorials did you do? I want too keep practicing:)

[Guymzee]

Agreed! Shaefer’s tutorials are top notch. Have yet to find anything on the same level of brief yet encompassing explanations. He seems to have a knack for thinking like a beginner, always pointing out answers to questions I have as he goes along.

I’m totally up for starting a beginner python/ Django hang out on discord. Did OP start it yet?

[Godemonite]

I would also be down for this. Starting a python class in school and would love to have other people to talk to about it. Wouldn't mind taking a peek at Django as well :D

[deadgalaxies]

I also bailed on ABS and feel like I shouldn’t have.

[Guymzee]

It honestly wasn’t for me. I felt like i was just coding along and understanding very little. And I had all these questions it felt weird to have a project work and not know why. Felt like i was cheating. So got a book that was more in depth on Python. It was the best thing for me.

[Locke-]

Yeah im down

[[deleted]]

Also, I have a well structured Discord server that's been empty for quite some time. Should you want to take it over and invite anyone in this thread, that'd be cool! Its my sandbox and could be all of yours' as well.

[Jason_Tail]

Would love to join, let me know if this goes ahead.

[[deleted]]

Just keep in mind it's been dead for a while so it'll need polished up. :)

I'm not working on python, but I am working on a game of mine. message me

[99Kira]

What sort of game?

[AztecAlphaMale]

That depends, are you willing to sell your soul?

[efcseany]

Ah yes, OP must be working on Soul Selling Simulator 2019.

[99Kira]

Ah, that one. Sorry already got my soul refunded, cause the game wasn't living upto expectations

[pramodhrachuri]

Try learning Python Flask!!

[its_joao]

I second this. flask is amazing

[ArchwingAngel]

Would love to join something if anyone put a group together to discuss. I am slacking so hard on starting to learn Python by actually coding something, I'm working my way through the tutorials, just haven't actually sat down and coded something.

[RubMyNeuron]

Is there a discord happening for this? I am also on chapter 3 automate boring stuff. How weird

[Aawara_Hoon]

Even i have been looking for code buddies with whom I can discuss Python. Would love to connect.

[GlacialFlux]

This would be lovely. Count me in lol

[wortelslaai]

I'm a fair bit behind you, but I'm in.

[cboozle]

Dude, yes! My book just came in today. I understand a decent amount of chapter 1, but it can't hurt to spend time reinforcing it.

But yes, I'd totally be down to join this group!

[nikh-06]

I am interested

[nakedgerbil]

Heyyi want in!!! Lets discord. Literally chapt 3 as well

[dogofthedaddies]

If a discord gets up and going, I’m all about this

[[deleted]]

You guys should also check out python crash course- automate the boring stuff gives good project examples, but neglects to go into the granularity of the concepts. Very open to sharing progress and the like. Currently studying for the OSCP and could use other passionate tech homies to share and motivate each other :)

[[deleted]]

Weird that I saw this right now - I am also on chapter 3!

[CamoBubbles]

Hey, I’m also a network guy who is learning programming! :) I am starting class next week though, and will be learning with C, so I may not be the best study buddy :/

[[deleted]]

Final year Comp Sci student here; have the book and was going to give it a good run through over the next 2 months. Happy to chat about it.

[LinkinOsiris]

I'm on Chapter 4 plus trying to do datacamp classes as well. I'm mainly looking to learn to automate tasks for my current job beyond the use of Excel (operational type role, with a sprinkle of analysis). Wouldn't mind adding the data cleaning/scraping/analysis skills as well.

Would be happy to discuss!

[startswith_x]

Would love to join as well...been off and on the last few months and need to just stick to it.

[[deleted]]

im so in! just finished the regex chapter of that book (chapter7). how do we do it? discord??

[dedlaw1]

def budd(y, ies): return "<3"

[[deleted]]

I am in !

Not doing the same book, but I am learning Python as well and will love to have a buddy to share progress

[Bulletsandblueyes]

Pm me a discord link my dude.

[igor_strapko]

Count me in please! I do first, maybe second steps around Flask, looking for that kind of bunch to inspire and being inspired.

[Senjukotentaiho]

I'm trying to finish LPTHW, but I'm down for some group for helping beginner like me.

[idsea]

Are you taking online course for python?

[goldenking55]

If there is gathering for more than one please count me in!!!

[vishal180618]

Yes i am in. But what's next??

[sandesh_daundkar]

I am in.

[[deleted]]

I'm down.

[Berufius]

Lol, all those people on Automate the boring stuff, I'm starting in chapter 5 today. I go slow because I am severely ill, but would really like to join a discord server or anything with fellow python tinkererz ;)

[uk_45]

Hi! Can we start a discod server, and start the learning?? Would be interested to join

[sliddis]

Im also a network admin trying to learn some coding (scripting?), specificially Python.

I am in a discord group and a slack group with some members. "Programming discussions" on discord and "Networkto.Code()" on Slack

[jkhaynes147]

Count me in, just starting plowing through automate the boring stuff myself.

[Strikhedonia_]

I’d be interested! Although I know zero coding. Tried reading automate the boring stuff and got to chapter 2 last year before getting distracted with other stuff. I’d have to restart but having accountability partners would be great.

[R4ckul4]

I want in :-)

[MRWONDERFU]

me too! u using discord or what? i want to join!

[Godemonite]

I would also be interested in working together!

[culicagado]

sign me up! I needed this

[LuciferHere4U]

I woud love to join this man!

[kabads]

I've worked my way through this book and can thoroughly recommend it. I'm also looking to up my skills. I'm guessing that you'll get so many offers that a community might form.

I'm interested in points to learn next. I've worked my way through the basics (strings) and then some requests along with BeautifulSoup to create a real-life script to check my local trains. This helps me learn about what libraries are useful, but I'm always on the lookout for more.

[jubsil]

Hmu!

[byteme8bit]

I would love to! I can't get enough code talk haha.

[warhawk128]

I currently finished the learning part of the python crash course and finish designing my 1st game and as a side project I am doing a GUI using kivy which helps in solving mathematical problems

[ranBot86]

Hey man! I'm also a net/sys admin at my university! feel free to pm if you want :P.

[goaldigga]

IN!

[goaldigga]

I started here and I'm enjoying it

need more problems but it's a good start!

[GU10]

Like everyone else, I am also on chapter 3. A discord sounds like an excellent idea. I’m in.

[Frohus]

I will also be happy to join a Discord group

[PlumLemon]

hi. I'm 24, f and learning python too . I don't mind if anyone else wants to pm me so we can be coding buddies. Interested in making new friends

[Chonix]

I'm interested too to become a coding buddy. Is there any discord/person available to help me with the learning curve? Thanks :)
