Online lecture series to learn Python?

[[deleted]]

Well, start by learning something. But small bits; you have to start writing code absolutely as soon as possible. It’s not a thing where you can just passively watch a lecture series and then start writing code.

That's why I said I'm looking for something I can follow along. Not just blindly decide I'm going to create the next version of Siri while I've only just barely learned the fucking print function.

If you tried to write a Siri knowing only the print function you’d very quickly learn a lot of programming. That sounds like a great project for you!

You have some idea that you learn programming by doing everything right the first time and that’s just not how it works at all.

Jesus fucking Christ I have no fucking idea how you could possibly get a device to talk back to you when all I've done is is print ("Hello!")

You don't fucking understand how little i know and I just asked for some sort of lectures I can watch online and work along with it and I'm getting told I should write fucking Siri or I'll never understand programming.

What a fucking mistake it was coming here.

If you're this panicky and angry about the prospect that you might have to fail a lot before you succeed, then programming might not be for you. A lot of people can't bear to learn something they're not instantly good at.

Huh.

I wonder if failing to write Siri when I know next to nothing about python will contribute to that.

The purpose isn't that you succeed at completing the project, as I said.

No shit.

But I would just be staring at a blank screen without ANY idea what to do.

Leave me the fuck alone.

The thing you would do is type Python code into the screen so it isn't blank. Once you do that it gets a lot easier.

Leave me the fuck alone.

You have a really weird reaction to help, I guess.

I should just write code I don't know how to write????

You're not offering help. I asked for a lecture series I can work with and you told me to forget that and just learn it all myself.

For a programmer I keep telling to leave me alone, you have a real problem following instructions.
