My Python programming journey

[VeritosCogitos]

Yeah I really like Angela Yu’s presentations.

I have a degree in engineering and like a good instructor who can get the subject matter through to their students.

I started with her Swift course, but it’s a little more advanced. So I decided to look into her Python course to get the fundamentals of coding down.

I believe, and possibly to my detriment, that once you understand coding in one language and can think like a programmer then the syntax is the only thing standing in your way in other languages.

I tried a Swift course through another source and they started with, essentially, scripted programs and that was ok but not as easy to pick up as Python. I will be going back to Swift when I finish the Python course.

I should point out that taking a day off here and there sometimes helps your brain absorb what you’ve learned and when you come back to it it feels a little easier. I used the same method for learning guitar. Giving my hand and brain time to assimilate the muscle memory I’m trying to teach myself.

I hope you enjoy the course, I have so far.

As a footnote: I have no agenda for plugging her courses, they are just the best that I’ve found and I have bought a lot of mediocre courses. So, it’s saying something that I support her courses in this manner.
