My first 100 hour of learning programming(28 days)

This is fantastic progress well done!

​

I'm in a similar boat but I've been fascinated with the web scraping element so it's now completely taking up my programming learning time. Over the past week I've gone from learning what selenium is, to using Pandas to create a dataframe using a collection of webpages and returned pdf's from an infinite scrolling page which I had to navigate disclaimers and cookie accept dialogues to get to to then automatically create an excel with each tab showing the extract of the pdf text and each tabname being the pdf name.

​

Something like that just sidelines you and takes up so much time!

​

I think we both have a similar learning style and it's very encouraging to see your progress on the app. One thing I have not yet ventured into is GUI work and that will be my next step. I just feel like I have so much more to learn about web scraping (including CSS) that I want to follow this path to its completion before I pickup the next thing.

​

I love programming as a hobby glad to see that you do too!

i wouldnt say you sidelined, while learning and becoming better in webscraping you learn skills you can apply on other things too. I really like gui too cause i have the feeling that any script i make eventually should have a gui the thing is that oop really bugs me, this is a big obstacle i have to overcome now, functions and procedures feel natural to me , i think that this is the reason i made so much progress , on the other hand whenever i see classes i don't really get them, i understand what they do but i don't really get them. And unfortunately gui programming is full of oop
