Learn Python (No need to leave BHW)

[Gogol]

This course looks damn good. It's 4+hours of tutorial for absolute beginners. You have no excuse now to not learn this beautiful language.

Be sure to check the description, if you are looking for specific topics within the video.

Sorry if it's a repost. Please feel free to remove the thread if so.

You mean the quality of the video? Yeah, it's a dude sitting in front of green screen..
Who cares?
It seems that he pretty much covered every basic topic in python. People sell this amount of info for thousands lol.

Isn’t that a reptile oh wait it’s not beautiful Lol

Is it not? I somehow find this language very beautiful. You write little, and accomplish a lot. Not everything has to be php/Wordpress lol. As for python not being a strongly typed language..okay.. I still don't care as long as I am not writing code for ATM machines.

I'm currently developing some automatization facebook bots with python and i agree, it's a strong language, you can do a lot with a few lines of code.

Exactly. It has it's own use cases.

Who has a strong will to learn it in one occasion? I was losing focus after about 10 minutes

Is python strictly focusing on automation or it is handy for web development too? Can you build a good looking and fast website with it?

You can always save the video for later. Yeah, don't try to learn everything in one sitting. You will lose hope very soon. Try watching for 10 mins, and practice for an hour. Do this for as long as it takes. I would personally learn one topic at a time, if I had to learn this again.

You can use it for making websites. I use flask for that. It's freaking fast, but making it live in production will take some experience. You could also use django instead of flask.

But for practical purposes, I use yii2 framework (php) if I am making websites. The development time is faster, but it does have more overhead than flask. In flask, nothing is included... not even db connection. So, you call exactly what you need. That way, your app gets even faster. Yii2/Laravel are a bit slower because they do include some of the classes in app level. Not too much though.

I watch a daily programming video for 30 minutes every day, currently watching C# series, but defiantly want to learn python.

Django looks interesting, never heard of it before. Thanks will look into it

No excuse? I have plenty. But do tell me, in terms of SEO, what could I learn it for that it would make it worth my time?

Great! Try it out and let me know.
Be sure to learn the basics first, though. Just jumping onto Django can be a bit overwhelming.

Sure man. I am glad you considered it.

I don't get your question. SEO matters on the html output and the time the server takes to respond with the resources. Good results for both can be achieved using python, or any other server side language. It does not matter atall.

 

[mindcrimes]

My question is, what can I use it for in my line of work.

I can see it is a python framework, so I should learn the basics of python first, right?

yupp. First learn python, and then learn django. Learning python will also open lots of other avenues for you like data science and data scraping. So, no harm to learn the basics first.

Data scraping, data analytics, even for making websites if you want to. Depends on what your "line of work" is.
