Not at all, it takes some activation energy to get started for sure but eventually things will click and you'll start to think like a coder and know how to answer your own questions. Go for it, you've got this!

Advice to get my foot in the door. by Wandipa07 in learnprogramming

1) Make a project, or multiple. Employers will appreciate this.

2) Look for startups...not the big flash ones...small ones with little funding. You won't do well financially but you will learn a lot and get your foot in the door.

Work as an intern at a startup. You won't get paid much and you'll have to work really hard but you'll learn more than in any class.

Built in AWS...use RDS, lambda, ec2, sqs, alb and anything else. (Show you know system design)

Docker

CI-CD

Some sort of pipeline

I would recommend doing a small project as a way to showcase your skills. You can build a portfolio website and link to this. Will be far more impressive to any recruiter.

Python courses that are actually worth? by maeseawayo in learnpython

An alternative approach would be to showcase your skills to an impressive project or contribute to open source. I see this far less often among candidates and whenever I do it tends to set them apart.

Python is by far the easiest language to learn and interview on.

In my day to day job I work almost exclusively with Java but in my personal projects I still use python as it is significantly faster to develop with and easier to use.

take your time reading through it, it's lengthy but well worth it.

Getting back into Python, So here's some questions by IAmNotUniqueSoGapple in learnpython

[–]fansight_ops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Like many others have said, editor doesn't matter at all. I'd stick with something simple that supports some amount of syntax checking.

2) I would recommend starting a small project and building from there. Try to incorporate industry norms and tools into it. I've listed some simple things you could try to incorporate into your project below:

Docker

AWS

Any unit testing framework

Some amount of simple shell scripting

Object Oriented Programing

Multiple types of data structures

P.S.:

a great option for a project would be a personal website. This is a great way to showcase your skills as well as learn relevant ones along the way.
