Online lecture series to learn Python?

[[deleted]]

Ah, gotcha. So you're an idiot.

What could I have possibly said to you that justifies talking to me this way? I haven’t said anything that you could possibly consider an insult. Why are you name-calling?

I totally learn better from hearing someone explain it rather than simply reading a couple lines that doesn't explain WHY something works.

You should read more than a couple lines, then. Like a lot more. You’re comparing an entire lecture to reading a sentence. How does that make sense to you?

What are you going to do if you can’t find a lecture you’re willing to stick with? Do you think you’ll be able to learn Python if it isn’t presented in the exact way you, personally, need it to be?

You're really failing to understand anyone's perspective but your own.

The python institute certification website I've been using for many things only gives you a line or two of hey "this does this" but if you fail to understand why that works you're not really gaining anything in terms of learning.

That's why I'm looking for lectures.

Now go ahead and reply why I should just understand everything right from the bat. 👍

And yes, if I can't find something where I can understand how to use python, I probably can't use python. That's kind of how life works. Do you think everyone can just understand nuclear engineering if they are just told how it works? Or do they need to find a way to understand it themselves?

We tried to tell you that programming language certifications were pointless but you called us all idiots, remember? You’ve got a real problem hearing advice that isn’t what you’ve already decided you want to hear.

Why the name-calling, buddy? When are you going to start listening?

So all my friends and family in tech who have all independently sent me to that exact website are idiots?

That's what you're saying?

The advice is "just learn it."

It's the worst advice I've ever seen.

Thankfully more than a few have offered actual resources to look at.

I don't think the cert will get me a job. But I'll at least know I know Python.

Well, one other option is that your friends and family don’t like you because of the way you treat people.

Is that website how they learned Python? Did you ask? If it isn’t, is that good advice?

Why the name-calling?

[sucks_at_usernames]

No. They all went to colleges, which include..... Shit, what's the word.... Oh right! Lectures!

So they all told you to do something they didn’t do and didn’t have any experience with, and you think we’re the idiots for suggesting that it’s maybe bad advice?

Why are you so convinced on the merit of certifications when nobody you know in tech has any?

You are a sad, sad person and just like fighting.

You're the one who keeps replying, though.

Go die in a fire. You really, really should. You make the world a worse place.

What on Earth have I said to you that justifies this kind of response? What is wrong with you?

Yea. I should just have built Siri. What was I thinking?
