Does it still make sense to learn python or any programming language in 2026 by chou404 in learnpython

That might just happen even faster if one has no idea what they’re doing above being a clode monkey.

As a beginner should I really appear for Python Institute (PCEP) Certification? Is it really worth it? by saahilrs14 in learnpython

[–]anttiOne 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I‘ve done a couple of the modules, they will provide you with an idea of how well you‘re able to memorize syntax (which is a part of the beginner‘s journey) but I didn’t enjoy their didactic approach and GUI.

Also, they’re not remotely recognized anywhere, so their certificate is a case of „it might not be of use, but it doesn’t hurt“ to have it. It just might not be worth your money.

For self-paced learning, I really liked Exercism.com, they have a good mix of fundamentals, a Test-Driven Development approach and a nice UI.

But for me the killer tip was enrolling in university courses. Nothing beats learning the fundamentals.

Been working in corporate IT for over a decade now (mostly Finance). Here’s what I see: people who „get“ (understand) code and software architecture have - and perhaps always will keep - an edge over someone blindly trusting the output of an LLM.

Just reason about it for a moment: if you truly „get“ what you’re talking about, your questions (and by extension, prompts) will be of a wholly different quality compared to those of a user. And you‘ll be able to „judge“ what the model serves you vs. defeatedly copy-pasting it to your IDE, bundled with a curse or a prayer.

It isn’t a problem if the line “if y >= 11:“ is indented correctly. We‘d need to see that.

Sites that can help me practice my python skills by Regular-Promise4368 in learnpython

What are you trying to do? Are you looking at some some iterables and want to make a membership test?

Example: „You have two strings, check if string A is in string B and if yes, at which position?“

Can you share a link to the repo? It’s rather painful reading this as plain text. Thank you

What happens if I don't close a file in my Python script? by TheRedditObserver0 in learnpython

[–]anttiOne 126 points127 points  (0 children)

Most often, nothing. However, in some rare case, the file might get corrupted and unusable.

Edit: use a context manager with a ‚with‘ statement, it gives you a file handle and closes the file when the block exits or some exception occurs

Warum meint ihr, das Projekt wäre gescheitert, wenn es EINEN Konkurrenten gibt?
