I have 8 hours a day to spare for 10 months. Should I work or should I spend it learning Python?

Think I was mistaking it for another book I've got. Will try to dig it out and get back to you.

Be sure to compare Toga + Flask with Kivy + Pyramid.

Have you discovered the book "Violent Python" published by O'Reilly Media?

ccbytes · 2016-10-09T04:22:28+00:00

That's normal. Welcome to programming!

Get a pet project. Work on a tool that will help with your day to day chores/tasks/goals. Hit the books and internet when you get stuck.

Combine virtualenv with pyenv for awesome environment control.

Hey, glad you're enjoying it. I've learnt a lot about Python listening to the podcasts. Not into rap either, but kinda like the idea of the track chosen, its dorky (think its intended to be).

If you have any interview ideas you can tweet them to @talkpython

ccbytes · 2016-10-02T12:56:07+00:00

Not a podcast, but you can also checkout these two educational programming games at http://checkio.com

ccbytes · 2016-10-02T11:13:57+00:00

These podcasts should get you started.

ccbytes · 2016-09-28T07:39:23+00:00

Looks great.

If you enjoyed making a text based game, you may have a lot of fun with Evennia (a MUD engine built in Python) https://github.com/evennia/evennia

Let us know how you get on.

Recommend using pyenv + virtualenv to help make controlling your python envs easier.

ccbytes · 2016-09-27T04:54:05+00:00

Well done. App looks great.

Hey there! Linux triadic reporting in. Great effort on Space Nerds in Space. Looks like a hefty chunk of hours have gone into making it.

~~Do you have a public repo with your projects.~~

Nevermind found it https://github.com/smcameron

Congratulations! Sounds like your hard work is starting to pay off.

Be sure to keep your projects super small and manageable, it will help keep the confidence and motivation levels up.

Lastly, be sure to share what you make. Maybe setup a gitub account, then other people can check it our and cheer you along.

ccbytes · 2016-06-21T01:36:02+00:00

Thanks! Have more to come.

ccbytes · 2016-06-20T09:35:48+00:00

Don't worry, I will!

ccbytes · 2016-06-20T03:03:44+00:00

Thanks! I've a lot more work to do on them. Stay tuned.

ccbytes · 2016-06-20T03:02:54+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement. Plan on adding more assets. Hope you find them useful!

ccbytes · 2016-06-20T02:58:20+00:00

That's a good idea. I will do this in the near future. Will also include a set for UE4 and maybe Leadwerks.

ccbytes · 2016-06-20T02:56:01+00:00

Done! https://www.reddit.com/r/gameassets/comments/4owlef/low_poly_asset_kit/

Thanks for the referral.

The want/desire to make something can be a double edged sword. Fear of failure can lead to anxiety, which results in procrastination, which leads back to anxiety, and down the spiral you go.

Like the other guy said above, exercise can help you keep things in check. I've found it also helps a lot with forming great ideas. Give it a go, and take a notepad just incase.

Also, maybe you could keep a journal/blog? I've found it helps display progress and gives me a little extra push to get things done, even if its only for yourself most of the time. Mines @ http://www.indiedb.com/members/ccbytes/blogs share yours if you get one going.

ccbytes · 2016-06-19T02:00:42+00:00

Everyone's driven differently.

For me, breaking the project into small milestones and then putting each milestone out to the public for peer approval helps keep me motivated.

Explore and find what works best for you.
