This changed my life. In 2010 I downloaded all the videos, and learned python as I was riding home on the bus. By the end of the year I was scripting stuff at work, within 4 years I had a new job as a full time developer.
Sure it's mostly outdated, but it really clicked for me. Nick Parlante does a great job, and his codingbat.com was the perfect step 2.
- dpflan 9y agoAwesome! Did you use other Google resources like this along the way?
- dec0dedab0de 9y agoNo, None of the other ones were really as good at the time. I haven't checked in a while. Going to my local PUG is what really helped me get to the next level.
- dpflan 9y agoAh, I see. How did the PUG (Python Users Group) help?
- dec0dedab0de 9y agoBy introducing me to new libraries, and ways of doing things. Really just being able to talk about Python, and programming/computers in general in a social atmosphere made it feel like more than just a hobby or something i was doing for my job.
- southphillyman 9y agoOh wow had no idea this tutorial was by the coding bat guy. I really loved both of those resources back in the day.
