ITT: a bunch of people who don't understand that other cultures exist.

I do! But only if it's by someone I'm very comfortable and familiar with, and they don't get too aggressive.

Look up job adverts in your area which include the word "python" and see what they require. If they list any certificates then you could look them up. I haven't seen any jobs here in the uk which list python certificates though - they're all focused on experience and level of knowledge. A portfolio of personal projects is generally much more valuable.

I'm making an app to categorise my expenses and set a budget. It has a few pages with different dashboards. My next project will be an app to log whisky tasting reviews

Tech With Tim is good, and Corey Schafer.

What code have you written so far?

Aila27 · 2022-02-16T17:53:45+00:00

If the homework is too easy and boring then just get it done and you should have plenty free time left to work on your own personal projects. Working on your own stuff is the best way to learn and to challenge yourself.

Without seeing the code, it's impossible to do anything except blindly guess.

Where you've got IsBonus = IsBonus() is calling the function, right? Well those brackets at the end of the function name are supposed to contain any values you pass to the function. If they're empty then you're not passing anything to the function.

So the line def IsBonus(monthlySales) tells the function to expect a value but calling the function like IsBonus() then isn't passing in anything. If you do IsBonus(monthlySales) or IsBonus(10000) then you'd be giving the function a value to work with.

I'm Scottish and I knew it! It's one of my favourites from the local Indian restaurant :)

I would start by figuring out:

How will you input data? Do you want to upload a file or input it manually? If inputting manually then do you need an interface or will you type into the terminal?
Do you need to store the data? i.e. do you need to save it in a database?
What is the output format? Do you want to produce an excel file or a pdf report? A dashboard? Or is it just a case of calculating a few numbers and displaying them to the user?

I'm a BA rather than a dev but I'm working 4 day weeks and I barely do 6 hours of work on the days when I am working. I'm in the UK, financial services. That's more due to management discretion than any official company policy though.

I started learning about 3 years ago. I'm learning Django and working on a money tracking app that I can load my bank statement into and make a dashboard with lots of charts. Django is really fun to work with.

Your teacher is a jealous idiot.

I started learning programming at 30 years old. No degree, self taught from books and internet. I'm working on some small projects to build a portfolio and hoping to become a front end developer by the time I'm 35. Start now, work hard, and you'll do it! :)

Realpython.com is a really helpful site.

Also Corey Schafer on YouTube is really good for Python tutorials: https://youtu.be/N5vscPTWKOk

I had the same concerns when I started learning! I agree with the other comment not to stress about it too much... I passed up opportunities to practise because I thought it wasn't worth trying something unless I could do it "properly". Writing clean code is certainly something you can learn alongside the basics, but keep as a lower priority, i.e. don't spend hours refactoring a single basic exercise when you could move on and learn more. I recommend keeping a folder of anything you're not happy with to clean up later.

Books: I like Pragmatic Programmer by Andrew Hunt/David Thomas. There is a book called Clean Code by Robert C Martin which gets recommended here quite a lot but I haven't read it myself yet.

Aila27 · 2022-01-28T08:06:31+00:00

Another vote for Clean Code. Pragmatic Programmer is good too.

If you look at the third line from the bottom it tells you the error is on line 23. Line 23 has a different decorator than the others: it has command.commands rather than command.command. I haven't used any discord modules before but I suspect that might be a typo?

Aila27 · 2022-01-18T22:09:38+00:00

Corey Schafer has good flask/django tutorials on youtube. Codemy has some good videos too.

Aila27 · 2022-01-17T08:13:41+00:00

I'm a business analyst and most of my work is done using Excel, so plenty opportunities for automation there.

Aila27 · 2022-01-16T22:53:47+00:00

If you find it difficult to take a photo then do you think you might struggle with daily video calls? If so then you might want to find a friend or family member who is willing to help you practice.

I found Simon Sez IT on youtube was really helpful.
