Can't tell if he was serious or not, but metaclasses have no place in a 30 day quest to learn Python.

- rodriguezcommaj 14y agoThat's the feeling that I am getting. I like being introduced to concepts early on, even if I don't fully grasp them. Somewhere down the line though, I will see something more advanced and go, "OH! Meta classes. I kind of know about those!" and it is pretty helpful. It works kind of like that learning by immersion (especially for languages), where you are just in the thick of it and sooner or later things start to make more sense. I agree that it's an advanced concept, but it helps when people post stuff like that here and explain it so that I am at least familiar with it existing.
- danso 14y agoAt my college, general OOP concepts weren't even in the first semester of the com sci introductory course. Sure, that didn't lend itself to a lot of cool projects, but looking back, pointers, functions, and arrays are definitely time-consuming to fully grok.
