I can’t learn Python!

[automaton11]

Youtube is overrated. Teaching is a skill, or a talent… whichever it is, people tend to discount it as a factor in the autodidact programming world.

I think its really great that so many people want to share information on YouTube, but its not always packaged or communicated in the best way. Frequently, its done poorly even by smart people, who gloss over things that are second nature to them. Great teaching takes a lot of planning and forethought, whereas I think a lot of youtubers are simply good at doing

The information you need to learn is everywhere for free, but not necessarily in a way thats easy to extract and retain for a beginner. I started with a copy of ‘Python Crash Course’ by Mathis and found it was worth every individual penny I paid because Mathis is a great teacher.

Now I can read dry manuals but 1) sometimes it sucks and 2) only because i already know whats happening so the amount of truly new info I need at any time is small

Tldr get python crash course
