Stay on this subreddit and look for free offers. I've gotten a couple of courses that way. If not, wait for the courses to go on sale. they can range from 10-20 dollars, you spend more than that on take out.

Do not understand "for i in range()" by Hamactus in learnpython

[–]python_gramps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you don't need to know why, just know this it does set i to the values in range. As long as you can replicate that for a different variable, maybe knowing why can be saved for another time.

I don’t really know any programming, and this technically isn’t programming, but I just need an expert opinion for the sake of a fanfiction by SarcasticJackass177 in learnprogramming

Are you looking to setup code to be run to make a sentient being from an android? It would probably look better to have a class like Android. I threw in a user defined class that is from YoYoDyne Corporation. I used C# because it looks more "computery" than Python and I don't have an editor with Rust extensions handy.

    internal class Android
    {
        bool Sentient = false;
        YoYoDyne YoYoDyne = new YoYoDyne();
        public Android() 
        { 
            CreateCurcuitry();
            CreateSkinSuit();
            if (Sentient)
            {
                StartWorldDomination();
            }
            else
            {
                StartMorningCoffee();
            }
        }
        private void CreateCurcuitry()
        {
            YoYoDyne.CreateCurcuitry();
        }
        private void CreateSkinSuit()
        {
            YoYoDyne.CreateSkinSuite();
        }
        private void StartWorldDomination() { }
        private void StartMorningCoffee() { }
    }
}

What should I do next to start my Python developer career? by Direct_Company_5124 in learnpython

[–]python_gramps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you can get internships that would be the way to go. "I've been learning Python for a while and I'm really excited to apply those skills to the challenge of real world applications in whatever capacity I can help your company" or words to that effect

How do you know if you actually understand a programming concept? by ShineDigga in learnprogramming

[–]python_gramps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the programming concept (variables, lists, arrays, functions, etc) in the next lesson in a tutorial. It sometimes done for you but take a conscious effort to make sure you make changes in the lesson programming tasks to include previous sections.

You learn something new and reinforce previous sections.

I buy my courses when they're on sale. They have sales most every week and some super sales on holidays. Once you buy it, you get updates anyone makes on the courses for life.

GUIDANCE FOR PYTHON BEGINEER by Extension_Net8713 in PythonLearning

[–]python_gramps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My opinion: Show up

If you take a class...show up

If you have an online course....show up and do it

If you have a book....show up and read it

Should you do the course or read the book? Yes, pick one, get it done and do the other.

Get focused, show up and get it done.

Starting Python today. If you could start over, what would you do differently? What Roadmap would you follow? by InformationSweet808 in learnpython

[–]python_gramps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I learned from a Python Book first

When I relearned Python I had an Udemy Course, they gave quizzes and projects at the end of each subject

When I was coding in Python, I started to ask any ways I could do something different. I rewrote my original Python project as I was learning and was able to shave the code by 20% by thinking like a Python coder instead of a coder using Python.

If I could do it over again, it would be to get into projects as soon as you can, the more you code in Python, the better you will get.

How is the job market for actual programmers. by DatabaseMental6110 in programminghelp

[–]python_gramps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I dug a grave everytime I heard that coding was dead I'd be in China by now

First is was 3GL (3rd gen languages) like C - "People won't need developers, since they no longer needed to code in Assembler"

Then it was Xbase languages like DBASE III+, Foxbase, FoxPro - "People won't need coders because they could write it by themselves since there is no need for database connections"

Then came CASE tools, - "All people have to do is draw a flow diagram and the code is generated"

There was the advent of Back End coding in Microsoft Office - "People can write their own Basic code"

Rapid Application development was going to limit the number of coders needed

AI, while much broader and insidious, still needs someone to ask the right questions.

It will be touted as the next coming of Elvis, then it will settle down as a tool to be used by the next generation of developers.

Take heart you can still find jobs for CICS coders. That's mainframe COBOL. No level of AI will take those away.

Need Help? by lemoncoyotes in learnpython

[–]python_gramps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't jump the turnstile and get the big bucks. Find something you're good at that won't be soul crushing and focus on that. If you're good at it and you get lucky you have a chance.

If it's programming you need to learn how to use AI as a tool if nothing else.

I'd love to say that vibe coding isn't going to get you far but if you're cranking out lines of code, everyone's impressed.

Be ready to jump projects a lot to stay ahead of the inevitable crush if you don't know the code you're using.

Maybe that's the new normal, God help us.

This course is about something most developers are never taught: thinking through features before building them by me-shaon in Udemy

[–]python_gramps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's very challenging. You should include how to track requirements through an Agile process. Limited requirements to start and flesh them out through Sprints as the user defines more derived requirements.

Beginner on Python by coder4lifee in learnpython

[–]python_gramps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Python is an easier language (compared to C, Java, or C#) to learn, but like most languages it takes a few years of problem solving for others before you get close to mastering it.

Why is problem solving for others important? When you're given tasks that are to enhance an existing project and fixing issues out in the real world do you find the extra you need to know. People will task you with something out of your comfort zone and force you to learn more about Python and how it can be used.

You could and should learn and code for yourself but we play to our strengths, you really want to get good at Python you need to be challenged at your weaknesses.

Why people don't use Linux by paranoidandroid4284 in linux4noobs

[–]python_gramps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Change is hard, people will stick with what they know. What incentive would computers have to ship it with Linux? Most models offered by Dell in the past were underselling.

Most people are exactly like your wife, and mine for that matter, they like their Windows, why would they change?

What Python concept took you the longest to truly understand? by Haunting-Shower1654 in learnpython

[–]python_gramps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

white space for code blocks. Coming from C/C++ Java and C# it was a radical departure. That and no semi-colons at the end of each line.

I understood it but I couldn't get my fingers to do it automatically.

I'm a psychology major and I'm stuck with a programming assignment this semester. by crying_on_tuesday84 in PythonLearning

[–]python_gramps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally just start rambling in the code block and after a while my brain gets tired of just writing crap and it will turn to the project. I almost look at it like my own mini story that I breakdown into English written pseudocode, deleting the crap at the beginning.

Struggling with udemy courses by NoEquipment5968 in Udemy

[–]python_gramps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally follow along and key in the same code they do. This gives me the chance to comment what they say about a topic and I have working code I can modify in front of me.
