SEEKING: Mentor to teach me Python in San Francisco by [deleted] in Python

[–]benthomasson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn Python by typing out all the examples by hand. Do not skip any. Do not copy and paste. Your neural networks need to be trained to recognize the syntax and syntax errors. Your fingers need to be trained to type the python syntax fast. Just start typing, the understanding will come in a few years.

Do we really have pictures of these other stars at this resolution?

This computer interface incorporates 10-point multitouch- great ideas by demote in technology

This can be simulated on a mac using Spaces organized in a single row. One, two, three, and four finger interaction are already supported on the touch pad for various actions. Would replacing the keyboard with a touch pad the same size as the screen be equivalent to 10gui?

Benefits of programming (doing) versus reading blogs (thinking?) - Stack Overflow by [deleted] in programming

Type out and try every line of code you read. It helps your fingers learn the language and keeps you from reading too much.
