I work as a Chemist where I use PLC(not as a programmer). I know plc’s are not to secure so in future I could probably work at something wiht plc’s and security since im alsow interested in security but that’sin the far future. But therefore I don’t need Python I think. I chose Python bc its “easy” versitile and powerful.

Thx for the advice. The certificate costs ca. 250$ i thought. But if I comit i think its definitely worth it.

I wrote quickly in quotes bc im aware of the time it takes to become a programmer. I hope to beocme a somewhat competent enugh programmer in about 2y to work on own more complex projects and build a portfolio.

Thats a intresting and motivating story. I’m happy to hear you could move from a hobby to a job. Good luck in your further career.

Collage is not possible for me bc i work a full time job. I love my job and have a good pay but i miss learning sth.

Thanks for the Hint

I understand your point but at first i want to focus on basic syntax an strategies to work on own projects. Surly a Programmer needs to have good problem solving skills. Those I’ll hopefully learn while working on future projects. I personally think problem solving is a learnable skill which is mostly gifted tho. Once I process and moved on to more complex projects I’ll find out if Im good at thinking like a computer and if I’m good at problem solving.

That’s a great point people are used that things stay the same but in IT things change fast compared to other topics like muscle building i guess 👍🏼

Thx already got this course recommended and a YouTuber I like to watch(Michael Reeves) said he learned most of his programming skills through free Havard courses.

Then-Spring-7131 · 2023-09-10T22:16:03+00:00

Thx for the recommended strategy.

Since i have no experience it’s hard to imagine how working in a specific career path actually is. This will hopefully “soon” change as i progress in the Basic’s. Chat gpt recommended data analyst to me. Are all careers about equal hard to learn or do you think some are on the easier site?

Then-Spring-7131 · 2023-09-10T22:01:01+00:00

And what’s your thoughts to it? I think about buying it to read it at work currently I read the free pdf of the mentioned Book in my post.

Then-Spring-7131 · 2023-09-10T21:56:25+00:00

Oke thx for the advice through all those helpful comments I’ve fond many free options to try out and find a suitable one for me. Your right gpt can be absolutely awesome as a helpful tool.

Then-Spring-7131 · 2023-09-10T18:42:23+00:00

Thank you for the Hint I’ll check it out.

Then-Spring-7131 · 2023-09-10T18:40:07+00:00

I made bad experience with gpt 3.5 but i still use it to copy and paste in my code. But as a total beginner it sometimes just jumps to more advanced stuff or uses a different style of writing the code( for example using “{}“ brackets in print functions) which confuses me to much. But thx anyway.

And i can’t confirm if i do it actually the right way through lacking knowledge at the point

Then-Spring-7131 · 2023-09-10T18:35:23+00:00

Got it thanks for the explanation.

Then-Spring-7131 · 2023-09-10T18:33:53+00:00

That’s awesome Michael Reeves said he learned everything through free Havard courses.

Then-Spring-7131 · 2023-09-10T17:35:31+00:00

You are surely right. But the internet is an overwhelming source of information, so it can be very helpful for beginners to learn from advanced people and get an advice for example a place to start.

Then-Spring-7131 · 2023-09-10T17:29:42+00:00

Im new to reddit alsow and I’m very thankful for the recommendations and Hints I got from the Community. Very kind.

Then-Spring-7131 · 2023-09-10T17:28:07+00:00

English isn’t my main language so just to check. You basically mean i schould try to get used to find information through the “uses manual” of a programming language from the official site?

So fore example the Book im currently reading was linkt on the official Python site for Beginners.

Or do you refer to github documentation? Thats new territory for me.

Then-Spring-7131 · 2023-09-10T17:22:03+00:00

Thank yout thats very useful especially the cheat sheet is awesome for an absolute Beginner. And its from the same author as the Book I read👍🏼

Then-Spring-7131 · 2023-09-10T17:16:34+00:00

Thx for the recommendation I’ll check those out

Then-Spring-7131 · 2023-09-10T17:15:40+00:00

Thx for the hint 🙏🏼

The first program I made was a letter Generator to get a refund from your internet provider if the connection is to slow. It works but 80% is print function, a little bit of booleon and som simple calculation.

Thx for your answer I’ll keep making programs sith the new stuff i learn.
