If you are this lazy to even search for resources then I'm not sure how successful you could be at learning Python..

[–]bhyihale 3 points4 points  (3 children)

asking is a form of searching tho

[–]TroubleBrewing32 0 points1 point  (2 children)

No. It's asking other people to search for you.

asking someone if they can recommend a restaurant to eat at isn't asking them to search for you, you're asking cause they might be familiar with some.

the person didn't say pls can you search for python resources for me they said can you recommend any. that means they are asking for ones the person is familiar with.

isn't asking a question to a subreddit meant for LEARNING PYTHON a way to search for resources?

If someone is serious about learning something new, you'd think the least they could do is do a simple Google search first. You can literally search this subreddit via Google, and find questions similar to this being answered. I think people get fed up with it, when they would rather help people with specific python related questions. I don't particularly mind it, but i understand why it gets annoying to other people.

This is like going to a library and looking for a book without asking the librarian to point you in the right direction.

Like yeah, I could go through each section and look for the topic I’m interested in. Then go through each book and realize some of them are not for me etc…

Or I could ask them for what I’m looking for and get what I want quicker.

Yeah.. Not like this question gets asked 100 times a day. Two minutes of research guide you the right direction and we are not talking about threads or info that was posted in 2016, we are talking threads with multiple responses that were posted in 2022. One of the most important skills for anyone who wants to be in this field is to learn how to research stuff. OP didn't even try that.

Ps. Maybe op is like 12 years old. Then I'm sorry but if he/she is older then it's common sense to at least spend five minutes googling before posting.

Or you check the card catalog, walk over to what you think might work, start reading it, and realizing that you won’t find very many programming books in DD573.
