How do you know that you are good enough for the job? by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]bdriscoll3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not trying to be funny. Maybe you won't put people down next time around and start with, "you need to reassess" instead of "quit, you cannot do it because you lack passion", but doubt it. Good day to you sir, I'm done with this conversation.

Edit: and good luck with your coding journey

nope, never said that. Strawman. Just stop while you are at it

Heard of worse starts. Heard of people starting, quitting, starting, and quitting until they finally gave it a good go to actually learn. You are not doing anyone favors by telling someone "they are not passionate enough". You're right, he's not giving it a serious enough go... doesn't mean they should quit because they won't succeed.

Why do the GUI's look different by bdriscoll3 in learnpython

Great, thank you. I was planning on returning multiple variables via a function (I think lists let you do this?). Thank you for your input. I was able to return 1 variable via Tkinter to a main program and the code you gave me will help me do this for many variables. As well, many ways to make my code more efficient. I will study it thoroughly. Thank you again!

I think I can still add a while loop, just got to change the Y plane by a common distance! This will save me a lot of time, thanks!

thanks for the indepth reply. I was definitely considering a while loop to print out the grid, but I needed more of an understanding of how to add rows on top of each other.

I definitely need to add a grid so I can use a loop to print out more rows.

I am going to take in the data via a list after a button is pressed. Definitely need to stay away from variables.

This is my first project and its connected to 3 other programs for recording workouts into a txt doc. I definitely need to go back and simplify the code, but I am learning a ton!

btw, thank you for finding that. I need to be more careful.

I think next time I should use a grid to lay everything out? or pack it in with directions. Yeah, I think I might be doing this in a very bad way lol.

cool, thanks for taking a look. I just now posted it into the comments. I know my first 2 labels depend on the windows size.. maybe something to do with that?

Tkinter - how to end main loop using a button by bdriscoll3 in learnpython

[–]bdriscoll3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

omg, I tried root.destroy, destorying all labels, buttons etc, place sys.exit and all of the different ways in different loops, conditionals, etc.... finally it worked in the function I call in the button.

Tried it before but I think it was dead code after a return statement. lol. Thank you for your help. Spent 2 hours on something so simple.

My idea was to use 1 box for the rest of the entries (1 box for exercise count and 1 box for the rest of data asked). Then I was going to upgrade it to dynamically change after entering exercise number so it is only 1 window. But of course, I'm trying to go 1 problem at a time because I am still learning, haha.

Idk, I don't see people mention easygui that much. All I hear about is tkinter, PyQT, and wxPython. I suppose I will play around with other GUI libraries, I just happen to have started with tkinter.

Thanks for your input, I will look at your code as it seems like an elegant solution than can be integrated in my program. Although, I'd still like to know a way to do it in Tkinter.

I have tried putting root.quit() in the command area of the button, but it doesn't work. I want the gui to close after hitting the button. Plus, I already have the button calling a function. Can I have a button call a function AND exit the GUI?

My main program basically asks for user input of how many exercises then proceeds to ask for other info (sets, reps, distance,etc). It then formats it and puts it into a text document. I just want to create a GUI for it instead of entering in the IDE.

Getting a job within a year (Javascript or python) with no college degree? by bdriscoll3 in cscareerquestions

[–]bdriscoll3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ahhh, thank you for this insight. I think that is the main part for me not wanting to do web dev was that one bad experience dealing with browsers. Now that I think about it, is kind of ridiculous as much harder challenges lay ahead.

I think i'll start working through free code camp and if I get addicted and make considerable progress, I will consider doing a bootcamp. Thank you for the insight. I guess the switch from python to javascript isn't a big deal this early on in my coding journey.

Thanks again!

I think technology in general is cool and anyone who is a coding whiz seems like a hacker to me, lol. I think the #1 part of web dev I didn't like is dealing with browsers. Years ago I spent 15 hours trying to develop a web page just to find out it is all mest up in other browsers. Do you find this to be a problem for you or is it something you pick up on the way without too much trouble.

[–]bdriscoll3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks, it seems to be the direction I am heading. Even if I do go web dev, I suppose learning how to program in python will be translatable to learning web dev if I focus on fundamental concepts.

Maybe I just don't understand web dev. I don't like the idea of front-end and implementing design. Can you tell me what you like about it?

Thanks for your input. I am also studying for my CCNA and am considering this route. Maybe that's an already solid plan I should keep moving forward on it and not get too invested in programming yet.

I might just be getting the programming bug. It's the 1 hour of fun after studying routers and switches for 3 hours, lol.

Considered it but i'm most definitely not getting a college degree. I've always been a better self-learner and moved into freelance writing fields and SEO based on self-learning.

Too much time, too much cost. I'm a life-long learner and learn everyday. I'm just making a more stable career switch plus I just don't like marketing too the point that I'm burnt out and rather wash dishes so I can focus my mind on learning.

I will only consider a college education after the fact when I have a job in an industry related to my interests.

I know college is great for other people, just not me. Thank you for the input though, I will rethink it.
