Day #2 Updates:
It is 6:47am here and I am sitting down to grind out a few lines of code yet again...

So the "How to think like a computer scientist" turned out to be a bit too dry of a read for my taste. So I decided to switch to "Automate the Boring Stuff With Python" for this journey. Two reasons: 1.) It is filled with more fun & practical exercises keeping IM in mind. (2.) Works for Python3, while the previous book was for python 2.

You can get the free version of the book here: https://automatetheboringstuff.com/

Here is a look at the table of contents:

As I had covered some of the chapters already in the previous book, I am going to skip straight to chapter-2.

The goal for today is to eat up Chapter2-to-Chapter7. A huge jump, I know. But I am somewhat familiar with these concepts already from my past run-ins with Python programming.

Wish me luck!

Good luck! That was one of the books I received the other day :)

How I love the process of learning a new code language. Lovely!
Good luck man, enjoy it!

NICE! I wonder what your library looks like...

I switched over to kindle/ebooks 2 years back, I like it for the ease and functionality but I hate the fact that my library, i.e., physical paper books has stopped growing. :/

I've mostly switched to Kindle as well, but because whitespace is so important to Python, I went with print books. I have lots of coding, math, music and cook books.

Yep, I never buy coding or science ebooks because the line cuts off at random and makes it hard to read.

I've been trying to learn java now for a week+ after a long break. At first it was pretty easy to grasp, but then..

I started learning Data Structures. The arrays and stuff were pretty easy also, but then I got into Inheritance, Type Casting, Sorting and stuff like that, today I've been re-watching same tutorials for like 3 times, trying to google it, youtube it, and it's so hard to understand it...

Programming is really really frustrating, I think you gotta go through this if you wanna reap the benefits, which I think is really awesome ($$$). Don't give up! Overcome your comfort zone and just commit yourself to it. Do it everyday no matter how you feel about it.

I wouldnt hve to worry about inheritamce.
I am skipping the OOP part for strters. I just want to get my hnds dirty building small tools. Lots of good automation tools can be built with procedural programming. Once I get a hang of it, i would move on to OOP.
 
UPDATE

So I am sure this is going to take me longer than 21 days, mostly because I get flooded with other tasks and chores sometimes and have not been able to give it my 100%.

Anyhow, I am still progressing. Going to start with Regex today (Chapter 7) and see how far we progress.

The Capstone Project: For me, the culmination of this journey would be when I would be able to build a small tool of some value and share it here.

Hey! I am also trying to learn Python since last 15 month or more. Moreover, I am also near the regex chapter.

Do you think doing it together will help?

I've joined many MOOCs from Edx, Coursera, etc. Not been able to do much though.

Could we learn and build some stuff together? Or get more interested people on BHW with us and do it as a group challenge and with a "who does it first" kind of virtual competetion? Maybe that's how people in Universities learn to program!

sure am down. I do have a little bit experience with python, have built some small reddit tools, but as am not very good i had to constantly keep googling and debugging.

this time, am learning things in a proper fashion.

I am using the book + video course by the same name from Udemy.
 
UPDATE

It is 10:22PM here.
I am at Chapter 13 now, related to webscraping.

BUT, I realized there is no mention of object oriented programming in this course. Bummer. You cannot do justice to a language like Python without OOP.

So now am going to change a few things. Also am going to create a new journey thread.
I see no point in updating this thread as it is more like "am doing this now".
That does not contribute to the forum much. Maybe I should have been more clear about my end goals when I first started.
Anyhow, this goes into my list of unfinished journey threads yet again.

Please go here to see how am doing in this continuing journey: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/journey-127-hours.946157/
