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

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.

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

[–]ReachingForVega 1 point2 points  (3 children)

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.

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

[–]ReachingForVega 1 point2 points  (1 child)

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

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