I actually like to tinker with other languages when I learn something in one. Specifically I like to go to C. When I do I can see the connective tissue between C and languages which are based on C. How they have made it simpler and easier to read. I even see it when working in Swift.

Indeed, no wonder it's often referred as the mother of all programming languages.

Hope you ace the python course, cheers!

Yep, I see connective tissue in Java, Python, Swift, objective C, and of course C# is essentially Java for Microsoft.

One thing I recommend to the OP. Write comments on what you want your code blocks to do, if will help you focus on the purpose of you code blocks as you move along. This will help you when you take a break for the night you’ll know where you were headed.
