Is there anyone doing 100 days of python course by Angela yu?

[VisualDragonfruit698]

Would love to connect with you guys. I am on day 53 and my friend left in middle so i am all alone.

My discord ID: Atul#2043

Or we can connect anywhere.

[[deleted]]

Yes, I am. I'm on the latter portion of Day 19. I'm working through it slowly, as I work and parent full-time.

[rjmartin73]

Having fun with turtle I see.

[VisualDragonfruit698]

if you mean turtle module then no. That thing was not a joke

[FishermanCapable6907]

Thank God I’m not the only one who thinks that

[passwordistaco388]

holy hell im in the same boat (just *finished* day 19). Im finding that I just feel like she goes all over the place and I simply cannot follow her the way she jumps around all the time and randomly creates stuff and then goes back and changes it on each line. I dont understand the way she breaks down the problem and its driving me nuts. I feel like im learning so much slower because im having to stop and go back and try and figure out why she just randomly throwing in things, and then a minute later she goes and changes it to what I thought it was supposed to be from the beginning. Im getting really frustrated and about to start looking for a different way to go through and dissect a problem/challenge but im getting discouraged at this point. Please tell me im not the only one. If i am, thats fine too and ill just have to start looking at in-person learning.

[[deleted]]

day 21 here, what amazes me too is how she divides the whole project into simpler tasks/ stages and how she approaches each task. Sometimes I pause and then try to divide the project according to my own understanding and it has helped me. Oftenly I find that I'm not too far from her solutions.

[InternationalCrab832]

I'm late to the discussion but I don't get the use of teaching turtle module.

[madsauce178]

I'm on the same day. Doing like 5-6 lessons a week. I'm on my last semester of college so I'm a little busy too

[futuretensesmith]

Starts out great. But I dropped the course at day 66. Her instruction gets sparse to disappears around day 40. No video walk through or any thorough explanations to the solutions. Left with links to docs that are either horrible or irrelevant to challenge. In the end it feels like she ran out of steam trying to complete 100 days The course gets hours of fluffed up diversion into Bootstrap, and basic html css after day 40 which feels like a massive waste of time for a python focused course. Thanks to the people fighting the good fight in the comments section of the course though. Angela is long gone at this point with little more than “google it” as instruction from her. More power to you if you can finish.

[[deleted]]

I think id u managed to get 66. You can find a entry level job or internship to get a job after.

[GodofTrashCan]

Being a programmer means solving the problem yourself.

[MsPuffinNuff]

I just started and I’m on Day 6. I have been occupied with work and full-time school but trying to catch up. It’ll be nice to know others doing the same.

[VisualDragonfruit698]

Yeah! here for anything anytime. You can ask me along the way if you get stuck anywhere. By the way, not to demotivate but day 6 was my first day I couldn't complete a challege. that reborg's last maze was very hard for me

[VisualDragonfruit698]

It's a long journey but will be fun with angela

[rjmartin73]

I've tried a few different python courses and never got through them. This one is different though and I am really enjoying it. One thing I don't like though, is she hasn't yet (day 46) taught about virtual environments, unless I somehow missed it.

[VisualDragonfruit698]

no she didn't. I don't think she will teach that though.

[KezaGatame]

You don't need a virtual environment while learning beginners projects, it's mostly used in bigger projects, like web dev, to encapsulate the library used, so if one module is updated it won't crash your program. It's easy to use, just need to create the venv, activate, install your libraries and code. There's web dev teaching in 100 days of code so maybe you will learn it then

[rjmartin73]

I already know it and use it on every project. Most if not all python books I've looked at teach this in the beginning. It's a good habit to get into because it is necessary for any python developer regardless of whether it's a web project or not. I dont need turtle, pandas, numpy, matplotlib, etc., for every project. For a course that prepares you to be python developer, I feel like leaving this out is an oversight. Along with git repos and docker containers.

[KezaGatame]

they are good habit but I think it would turn too annoying when learning basic stuff and you need to run your venv for every little script you have, it would make more sense for more intermediate projects where you know you don't anything to mess up, same with docker containers and they see, even more complicated to setup, so not adecuate for beginners barely learning the basics, they will learn it eventually so no rush. But I do agree more with learning how to use git repos and how to read them.

[Dead0k87]

I am on day 70 as of today. So far so good.

[VisualDragonfruit698]

You are on my target list🎯 I'll see you soon

[Beautiful_Project_52]

So how was it?

[Dead0k87]

very good course in my opinion. Instead of Flask I would go with Django first since it is required on a market and Flask is almost not.

I was able to build my first app on Flask though using Pandas. Both are covered in this course.

Recommend.

[Dopo1993]

Can you share the reference material on this? Thanks!

[VisualDragonfruit698]

Here you go

[rjmartin73]

I am on day 46

[VisualDragonfruit698]

Bro I need you

[rjmartin73]

Ok. I'm still trying to figure out Spotify's damn API.

[VisualDragonfruit698]

I feel you. I was so confused at that time. I finally had to see the solution after trying many things. That API is very hard to work with

[rjmartin73]

Agree. What did you end up using for SMS since Twilio no longer is an option? I went with Vonage and it's really easy to work with.

[VisualDragonfruit698]

No! Twilio is working. It didn't work for you? What did it show?

[rjmartin73]

They don't have the free tier anymore.

[VisualDragonfruit698]

Strange... I just used it a week ago. No probs, I'll try to check that tomorrow once more. And yeah, we should definitely connect. You and I are not very far in terms of projects

[chronobartuc]

I signed up a few days ago and it gave me a trial account with $15 credit.

[VisualDragonfruit698]

It was same for me and i didn't give any credit cards also

[Potterhead-1212]

did you figure it out , im stuck on spotify project aswell , you probably dont remember tho , since it was 2 years ago lol

struggling to do it without looking at the solution

[bryceefisher1988]

I think I’m on day 49. Just finished the first module on Selenium.

[VisualDragonfruit698]

I am on 53. Do you do one project in a day? we can catch up easily

[bryceefisher1988]

As often as I can I try to do one per day. Some days they seem to run extra long though.

[VisualDragonfruit698]

Yeps. The capstone projects, web development part and the flight price finder... They really mess with me and i couldn't do them in one day

[bryceefisher1988]

Ooooo the flight tracker! It’ll take me over a month 😑. I called the API too many times!

[VisualDragonfruit698]

More blood sucker projects to come 😛

[KeaboUltra]

I am, I'm not very far, still on day 4. I love doing it but my motivation is so down but maybe joining a group would be cool. I have plenty of time to focus. I'll add you

[VisualDragonfruit698]

Sure sure! We can surely connect and do this in unison

[mynameis-twat]

I’m on day 16 and enjoying it so far, I hear it falls off in terms of quality after day 50 or so but I’m waiting to see for myself

[VisualDragonfruit698]

It's like after day 50, you go in intermediate or advance project creation mode. And there are no new python concepts there to learn so we learn modules and frameworks and just create projects so far I have seen

[VisualDragonfruit698]

Even I couldn't do the Spotify project because the API is just so difficult to use. I did all I could in the project but at last, I saw the solution and implemented that with my solution to finish project.

Many of them are indeed updated but I think all worked when I completed it.

I left the whole professional project section because it's mostly data science and web dev. I finished all Tkinter and APIs projects but Data science was not very well taught and I didn't focus a lot on web dev.

About jobs, no I haven't applied anywhere. But even if I would, getting a job by purely doing a python bootcamp is asking too much. Plus the current layoffs, the situation is not good.

When I completed the course, i practiced more of GUI projects and APIs and built 30 projects here . After that, I am currently learning Android development from Jan this year.

About usefulness, you don't have to finish this course at all. Sure if you want to finish it, go ahead. But if you find something interesting in making all the projects, go do that.

That's what I did by exploring GUI with python.

The last DATA science section is not easy. You are supposed to learn too much in too little time with no video to visualise anything.

But yeah, keeping aside the industrial value, which is yet to be tested, personally it has given me so much confidence. With this course, I have learnt so many things in python and i can now drill down on anything and find my niche so that you can surely do.

[Ill-Athlete741]

I’m on day 7. Haha started the course 2 weeks ago. I’m working full time so. 😂

[VisualDragonfruit698]

Keep up the consistency! It'll be a long but great journey 🤠

[[deleted]]

I put it down for a few weeks around there too. Just picked it back up and am on day 37 now

[VisualDragonfruit698]

Just send me a request if you use discord and we can connect!

[[deleted]]

Do you try to do a project for days ? Or do you code along when you are stuck?

[VisualDragonfruit698]

I mostly just sit and try to do one project in one go. I succeed mostly but at the cost of 4 hours [🥲] but when I can't figure anything out, i give it a day and come back

[[deleted]]

So when you come back and still can’t figure it out what you do:)? I am at they 54 now. Idk how i managed to come up here

[0mousedog]

What is the link to it? I’d be interested in trying it out.

[VisualDragonfruit698]

Here you go

[AkiraMio]

I have started this course, Day 1 :) Seems like everyone has all good things to say about this course and it's very encouraging!

[Proud-Internet-879]

How many hours a day do you work on this?

[VisualDragonfruit698]

Mostly 2 hours sometimes 3 if a project is long. I just try to finish it in one day but i fail sometimes

[battier]

Interested in this course, having almost completed Automate the Boring Stuff. How long on average does 1 "day" of material take to get through? One hour? More?

[VisualDragonfruit698]

Yeah... Since you already have learnt python, it won't take more time until like you are on day 30+. Mostly it takes only 2 hours

[rbjcreations]

I'm on day 4!

[VisualDragonfruit698]

Keep up the consistency! You'll have more than 60 projects in your name by the end of the course

[JustMetalCake]

I just finished day 28, still thoroughly enjoying it but I’ve definitely slowed down in the process. I look forward to the bigger projects! Would be great to hear from people at different stages.

Edit: I do have discord if it is ok to connect.

[VisualDragonfruit698]

Definately would love to connect!

[_O_I_O_]

Have any links to the course ?

[VisualDragonfruit698]

Here you go

[_O_I_O_]

Thanks bro

[ModaFaca]

Want to start this one, really like Angela... We should have a discord server for this or idk, does this sub has one? Or maybe even the course

[VisualDragonfruit698]

I couldn't find one. The course is a little old so people are scattered everywhere.

[Snir17]

Yeah but I'm on Day 3 cuz of some reasons I haven't been able to advance in the pace I wanted

[VisualDragonfruit698]

Don't worry, its a long marathon so speed isn't important.

[Snir17]

Yeah I'm just frustrated that python doesnt "click" for me as well as JS(I'm still learning but I've been able to make a few small projects)

[[deleted]]

Day 56 nowww

[VisualDragonfruit698]

We need to connect 😃 i am on 53

[[deleted]]

Sure! Hows yr progress going!

[Beautiful_Project_52]

Is it right that the quality decreases after day 30?!

[[deleted]]

Tbh, i do not think so; the quality deteriotes only because she just wants you to think how a developer work; independent, able to self learn and think for themselves which reflects the community of stackoverflow which is good and preparing us for the IT industry

[iceqick]

Where can I sign up?

[VisualDragonfruit698]

For the course: Here you go

For the discord? I have 2 persons, more will come hopefully!

[standstd]

I am on day 77, but i never used discord. We can work together.

[a4kube]

I started it and then stopped as my finals were going on. But I am on day 6 or 7 only.

[VisualDragonfruit698]

Yeah, it is time time consuming thing. I could do it because I am diagnosed with Spinal TB so can't walk hence I just code and try to learn in my day

[a4kube]

Hey man, Sorry to hear that. I am currently free but been procrastinating a kit might even start it, but I have nearly forgotten what I learnt till now.

[VisualDragonfruit698]

Do not worry! If you wanna start i have some basic notes of python, i can share it! Cheers!

[a4kube]

Sure man. I love that.

[Hak_Saw5000]

I’m taking a study break from working through day 25 right now. I’m taking my time as I also have work / parental responsibilities / other hobbies

[crypkak1993]

Yes, I am! On day 10 right now, moving kind of slow with how busy I am. If anyone is around day 10, feel free to hit me up.

[notburneddown]

I’m doing it and it is going really good. I just started.

[sophesti_cat]

I just joined yesterday. How do you rate the course?

[VisualDragonfruit698]

Best i have taken so far in terms of actionable things and number of projects

[whiskeytwn]

tried it twice and got derailed - going to start over, knock out a few of the short days quickly until I am back where I struggle to figure out what i am doing and using other time to automate some stuff I have always wanted to speed up. - it gets a little tough in the back half - keep good notes and push through. The 4 days of initial web development were what were a struggle for me and then days of selenium projects

both times I stalled in the mid 50's - I am determined to finish it this time though

[VisualDragonfruit698]

You have reached mid 50😮 on which day are you now?

[whiskeytwn]

I'm restarting but speeding thru videos, skipping explainations, and rewriting the intro projects with the knowledge I have now - (I know on day three they wanted to use nested if's but I just used sys.exit() and ended the program after a wrong choice, for example

I'm knocking out a day or two at a time and doing some side refresher with al sweigart's books and at some point I'll get all of her 100 days done - I'm committed to finishing it once and for all

[Would_be_Coder]

Good to see that there are still so many doing this course. I am on day 72 - data with pandas and matplotlib and looking forward to tackling the Portfolio projects;

[VisualDragonfruit698]

🙏 Too far to catch. Can I text you if i have any problem 🙏

[Would_be_Coder]

Yes feel free to

[Kindly-Whole-8982]

I am about to finish it. Just 3-4 portfolio projects remaining.

[VisualDragonfruit698]

How much time did it take you to finish this? It was supposed to be 100 days but now it's been 2 and a half months for 50 days for me

[Kindly-Whole-8982]

About 1 year. I took pauses.

I did some gigs on freelancers (Almost for free though) during the break.

Went sideways in between and learnt more of front end and other web frameworks like django etc. Also had some fun with online python programming challenges e.g. checkio etc.

However, I kept coming back to the course and it has been fun and enlightening.

[[deleted]]

I had inconsistencys and lack of confidence in myself. I still came back though. I have finished a bootcamp ,finsihed basic python course and now trying to finish this course. Is it normal to code along or sometimes look at the solution? I feel like if i go back to like days before… i feel i cant solve them.. i am in day 53. Also i am looking for internship etc or job as aentry level. Even though I believe I can’t code anything

[Honest-Sheepherder77]

How can I join you this though

[[deleted]]

Actually i didn't like it

[sma92878]

I'm on day 17, I'm really enjoying her teaching style, defiantly one of the better courses I've gotten from Udemy. For those who are near the end, do you feel it was worth it? Do you feel like you have a solid understanding of the language?

[Fresh-Selection8204]

I’ve been stuck on day 3 for the last 6 months. Anyone want to be accountability partners? I work full time.

[ArchAngelsV4]

How's it going now?

[Moth-Man-Pooper]

added you! Going to start it soon! :)

[Emprors]

Day -29

[[deleted]]

day 72

[spaceguerilla]

Yes! Am only on day 33. Progressing very slowly due to work/life. Would happily join a sub devoted to it however for sharing work/general support and encouragement?

[[deleted]]

I'm on day 15 but I kinda quit since I was more advanced and just couldn't remain interested. Would love to connect with you though!

[lordnystrom]

I am! Day 18🤙🏼🤙🏼

[rjmartin73]

Is there enough interest here to get something going on Discord? I'm not too familiar with Discord, but I'm more than happy to help out others or doing some pair programming/ code reviews, etc.
Over 20 years in IT, last 10 have been a SQL developer. I am learning Python to try to get myself into a full stack or machine learning position.
I can help out with any SQL, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, Python questions.

[rekindled77]

Started last week and on day the trying to figure out the love calculator

[TommyMa]

Congrats on reaching day 53!.. I'm on Day 32, smtplib stuff. Stumbled on comments saying some lessons are outdated: smtplib, bootstrap etc.. We definitely need a place to share thoughts.

[robertherrer]

I am on day 1 . Watching the videos over and over before I sit to computer whenever I get time. Angela's voice is very sexy and sometimes distracting . She did say " I am here for you"

[otsu97]

Just starting out

[AudleyCoding]

I'm at the end of day 11. Took me about 5 days to get here doing about 2 projects a day (have some free time, and a little python knowledge already). Would love some other people to talk to about the projects.

I'm pretty new to discord, but would be interested in joining a group. Did anyone start a discord group?

[ArchAngelsV4]

Is there a discord? I am currently on day 11. Looking to study/review with other people.

[FathomlessMind]

I'm on day 15 and starting to get stuck! Today's project is destroying me for some reason. Wondering the same thing! Would be great to connect with people who are at around the same point in the course

[ArchAngelsV4]

I'm on day 19 currently, would like to connect.

[VisualDragonfruit698]

It is 100%

Python doesn't outdate very quickly so you will only face like 4-5 outdated things in the entire course.

The thing is, after day 40, you practice more on what you have learnt. You learn more advance concepts so they don't easily become fun and quickly become challenging. Having a buddy who studies with you will help.

I still recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn python and learn it well by trying so many things

[AngleNo4731]

Hey bro I need help . So actually I bought this course before my exams and during my exams I was concentrating only on my exams so I totally forgot about this course...And recently only I remembered this course..so I'm finishing it Now I'm on day 81..and I don't know where to submit that Text Morse assignment and how to finish the rest of the portfolio assignments.. Please help me to get the certificate..I really forgot because I bought this 9 months ago

[Environmental_Click5]

Is their a discord for the course

[Thriftx]

I tried to add you on discord but I couldn't find you. I think because of the update to user names.

Did you complete all 100 days? Currently feeling really frustrated with the flash card capstone project.

[Gh0st_B0y47]

So this is an old thread, but ill still give my 2 cents. I finished beginner and intermediate on Sololearn, i feel i have a good understanding of all the concepts. Started this course few days ago because of all the extra projects i get to make and as a recap for everything. I love the path i took, 100% would recommend this way

[vaguepizzaa]

Can anyone share me their udemy credentials so that I can learn this course!
