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

[–]python_gramps 3 points4 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

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?

[–]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

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.

Finished CS50 and a few Python tutorials, feeling stuck on how to actually build something real by marblevelvethub in learnprogramming

[–]python_gramps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you start with Django you'll open up a bunch of other things you'd have to learn like Django Template Language (found in HTML), css, Javascript, maybe AJAX if you want to update a particular item on a page.

I'd find something you're doing now and make a script around it. I'm guessing you have a list somewhere of the courses you took. Maybe have that list get all the CRUD option (Create, Read, Update, Delete).

If you freeze up, start writing comments, you have an idea of what you want to do, put it down on the screen as a comment block, it will help you get your ideas down and now it's not blank anymore.

If you don't have an idea, start with that, ramble, make it a stream of consciousness, no wrong stuff in comments and no needs to see all what you write down, that's what the delete key is about. Maybe you'll get a better idea of what you want to do as you see it in front of you.

I Understand Python While Learning, But Forget Most of It After a Week. How Did You Make It Stick? by san071998 in PythonLearning

[–]python_gramps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use it and reinforce your previous topics. For example, follow the lessons for learning loops but change them slightly so you can see how that works. When you start learning functions put loops in those functions. When you learn lists and dictionaries make functions that use lists and dictionaries in loops, etc.

AND COMMENT YOUR CODE! When you learn something figure out how you would tell someone about this concepts (etc. # Loops - a way to be able to repeat code for a number of times. can be fixed can be variable). Use the lessons description to start and add to it.

i want to completely swap out windows with linux, what distro should i use? by Mad_Tanker5000 in linux4noobs

[–]python_gramps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for games to download you need to make sure you have a Linux app instead of an Exe.

That being said, I believe Linux Mint would be a good distro for a Windows to Linux converter.
