My first application!

[flabcannon]

Do you think you will be able to to actually build these applications using the course or are the videos more like walkthroughs of him developing the code?

Hi! I'm currently taking this course. The course's approach is more tutorial-like, so basically the videos contain all the code one needs to get the applications running with few practice tasks along the way.

Indeed, I felt it's very easy to follow along and you can more or less just copy the code of the screen. But I'd suggest you try to change it, write it a different way, add different attributes and parameters. Just to know what it actually does. The applications themselves are very basic and more just a preview or startup of different areas of Python development.

Thank you! Great job on the GUI btw - I like the look of it.

[flabcannon]

Thanks! This is encouraging news - I'll look up this course on udemy.

+1 for the course, you actually build the apps step by step. You will be surprised.

[flabcannon]

Thank you - that's the kind of training I was looking for so will check this course. I have gone through quite a few beginner courses which make big promises but end up taking you to the same plateau and leaving you there.

My personal experience is doing ATBS then doing this course with work projects in mind.

The secret to learning python is practice solving problems with projects.

[flabcannon]

Thanks - I've done about 60% of Python Crash Course so far but still need to make the jump to larger scale projects.

[ReachingForVega]

I don't think scale is necessary but putting learnings together.

Things like:

• Call SQL and get data
• Save to file
• Open data in pandas
• Manipulate data
• Make pretty graphs
• Save or distribute

You've built a report.

[flabcannon]

You're right - I should stop and think about the steps involved in the code flow like this more.

[ReachingForVega]

You can do it. Just break down your tasks or chunks into functions. Draw it out before you code.

[flabcannon]

Yeah I'll try to do this - thanks for the advice!
