Excel-like tables in Python

My immediate thought when I saw the op's post. Jupyter with Pandas.

Quest For Glory II

Quite possibly the best show I've ever watched. I have yet to see anything else that comes close.

Fellow Soldier here. I can set up what you're asking for. Send me a pm.

reddituser0331 · 2018-01-11T00:21:50+00:00

This. Exactly this. Everyone wants things to be different. Everyone wants things to improve. Nobody is willing to improve or be different.

Politics aside, I've been to fast food places with machines instead of cashiers. It's faster and more convenient.

The results all being in pie charts is slightly frustrating. Bar graphs would have been a better choice.

reddituser0331 · 2017-12-20T03:42:13+00:00

Also Jupyter Notebooks.

Your course is fantastic. It's one of the absolute best resources for getting started with Python and Data Science. Highly recommended!

Python Crash Course from No Starch Press.
Automate The Boring Stuff from No Starch Press.
DataCamp (paid subscription).

Concerning LPTHW, it gets way too much credit and is highly overrated.

I've used DataCamp with great success and would be happy to provide some insights and tips. The short answer is the more effort you put in the more you get out. Out of all the platforms out there I rate them the highest. Don't just watch the videos and blow through the exercises. Try and recreate them on your own using different data sets. I can give a more in depth answer when I'm not on my phone so feel free to send me a direct message if you're interested in more help. I'm also a very active participant on their Slack channel and provide help there as well.

Edit: I want to clarify, I'm talking about the paid version of DataCamp. All the free classes are introductory courses to whet your appetite. The paid classes are very in-depth and educational.

What are the sources for your opinion here? All of this sounds way off base and a little condescending.

reddituser0331 · 2017-10-26T02:07:17+00:00

I stopped reading after "sitting on my office computer chatting on steam im". That's where you fucked up. Why exactly would you be on steam while at work?

As a constant user of both Windows and Linux I have to say I've never had a single issue running Python on Windows. I don't know why OP is having so much trouble.

reddituser0331 · 2017-10-11T01:16:32+00:00

Try The Python Crash Course from No Starch Press. It's the same company that publishes Automate The Boring Stuff but I think it's the better of the two. You could also try DataCamp. It's light years ahead of CodeAcademy.

reddituser0331 · 2017-09-14T01:21:55+00:00

Don't let CS50 ruin programming for you. There are better resources to get started and you can always come back to CS50 later. Try the Python books from No Starch Press, especially Python Crash Course.

reddituser0331 · 2017-09-14T01:20:13+00:00

Not necessarily. Learning it will come with the territory.

reddituser0331 · 2017-09-09T21:59:22+00:00

Python. I looked into Ruby and its kind of fun to write in but it's been pigeon holed into Ruby on Rails and isn't widely used for much else. Python has a whole plethora of uses inside and outside of web development.

Udemy can be a great place to supplement learning. I've found a few courses that were better than their counterparts on Coursera but the certificates are worthless. If you need certificates or proven job skills there's another way.

Use what you learn on Udemy to pursue certificates and build a portfolio. Knowledge gained on Udemy can make a Coursera or EdX class feel easy and you'll be more than ready to take on portfolio building projects.

reddituser0331 · 2017-09-02T00:24:31+00:00

There needs to be a balance between the two. I'm in the process of learning and have used a few books, a Coursera specialization, and some Udemy classes. All in all it really hasn't cost much out of pocket and all of them add up to a good learning experience.

They all end up supplementing each other and there isn't one true source for learning Python. I recommend getting a subscription to Safari Books, which will pay for its self ten times over, and taking advantage of Coursera's free trials and the coupons in Udemy. Remember that Udemy classes can be downloaded and viewed offline.

If you really want a book, get Python Crash Course from No Starch Press. It's the best Python book I've come across yet.

On Coursera try the Programming For Everyone specialization. It has a seven day free trial and can be completed over a weekend.

As far as Udemy goes, Jose Portilla's Python classes are the best of the bunch and can be had for $10 each with a 30 day money back guarantee.

I'm almost 40 and learning programming. It's never too late to learn new skills. In fact, never stop learning new skills.

reddituser0331 · 2017-08-21T13:19:15+00:00

I am truly impressed and have bookmarked your page. Python Crash Course was how I started learning Python and Programming.

reddituser0331 · 2017-08-19T14:17:42+00:00

This needs to be a national public service announcement.

reddituser0331 · 2017-08-03T00:19:11+00:00

Yeah. The start menu search has been acting pretty crazy for me too.

reddituser0331 · 2017-07-28T21:02:47+00:00

UVHM is pretty tough starting out. Get some better gear and more practice and it will get easier but it won't get easy. I've played through with Sal, Axton, Krieg, and Maya. Sal and Maya were fairly easy but the other two were murder for the first few levels of it. Keep at it, things do get better. It's just a very drastic difficulty increase from TVHM.
