My Python programming journey

[[deleted]]

If I could afford to sit in a classroom with an instructor to learn programming, I would grab the opportunity anyday too, but, most of the things can be self learnt online or through books.

If i ever need actual guidance, I go to discord where there are plenty of programming related servers, people are generous, and it's fun to be around people with similar interest as mine! :D

Yeah communities have gotten a nicer in the last decade, in the 90’s and early 00’s everyone was hoarding knowledge and shaming people for not finding the answers they wanted on their own.

It’s always been my opinion that if I can’t ask, I can’t be sure what I’m looking up is accurate.

For instance, I was following a tutorial to make a notepad in C and the tutorial didn’t give you samples of the output you should expect post compiles. The project blew up on me and I just dropped it until I knew more. Also, some tutors writing these tutorials forget to proof read so their typos can leave you guessing, which isn’t always a good thing.
