Watch Me Learn to Code in 21 Days.

[Cherry]

How much time do you spend per day for this? Just curious.

 

[S3lkies]

How long each day does it take to learn the chapter? Also would you recommend it as im interested in programming and this could be a good start (i did python for a little bit)

Lastly what program are you gonna try and make?

I am not sure. I skipped over a lot of stuff in the first couple of chapters.

But will log things from now on for others who might be interested in knowing.

I am on a similar journey as you. I am learning C++
"C++ for dummies" - 7th edition.

Good luck on your journey..

If you are specifically going python, i would suggest checking out the book "learn python the hard way" available free online.
Its got excersises and python specific tricks.

I second this. It's a great resource and free is always awesome.

 

[quangbgt]

Really good plan. Good luck to you, bro!

 

[Buzzika]

UPDATE:

Going to be busy with some shit till 19th so this journey is going to be on a pause.

 

[tokokipiani]

Good luck! Learn as much as possible but IMO it will take you a bit long to master that exact language perfectly

 

[outscrape]

Wondering why / how you decided to learn to code?

 

[Shree]

Good luck ... hope you restart and complete the journey.

 

[iglover]

Good luck mate! What are main differences between c++ and python? Looking to start learning code myself.

I was coding bots in Python inside a month or 2 without any prior experience besides iMacros(and even then only the most rudimentary recorded scripts, nearly no manipulation of code/making it dynamic, and only a month or two experience at that point). Python is REALLY, really user friendly.

^^ Python is a really simple wrapper for C related functions, C++ is a supped up version of C, but it's infinitely harder to write and comprehend than Python and in 99% of instances you'll want to use Python because the performance time of .8s runtime doesn't justify you having to write hundreds of lines more code.

I love Python because you can code however the fuck you want. OOP or procedural. I've literally never defined a class in Python, in 7 years of coding, because I prefer procedural to OOP, and I just haven't had to. I use CSVs and my own methodology for data storage/schema, because I can lol,(DO NOT DO THIS FOR SENSITIVE DATA!).

I recommend you learn Selenium ASAP for the more fun BH parts of Python, lol.

This is cool man! Wish you the best of luck.

I maybe missed it, but any specific project you'd like to start after you master Python (besides the BHW tool)?

Do you think someone in his thirties who have average grasp of Maths can learn programming? Not to be a computer genius or something but maybe writing a couple of Chrome extensions, tweaking WP and stuff like that?

It's never too late to learn anything, especially programming,
I would say programming is more logic than knowing advanced math equations.

Good luck op, it shouldn't take long to grasp the basics, after that start a project ASAP as it's the best way to learn.

Start learning about Http requests, selenium and web scraping library's like scrapy, & beautifulsoup.

I don't know math on a formal level AT ALL but I've programmed professionally for 7~ yrs now.
Python, JS, C#, PHP. I'm not saying it doesn't hold me back but I can almost always find a way around "knowing the math" whether it's googling a formula and plugging it in, or something similar or just figuring it out yourself logically, when you learn to program you automatically learn to think logically and math is logic applied to numbers, so you just get naturally better at math even if you don't know conventions taught in schools.

^^ best advice is above, beautifulsoup, selenium, request, scrapy. You need only to know that a can equal b to use those libs, and can make full bot suites in Python, realistically. As I said I was making bot suites with Tkinter and Selenium within a month or 2 of learning Python standards.

@GooglesMyBtch and @lykathe : thank you guys. I think it's time for me to give these things a try.

 

[derekxec]

When i was beginning i found that after the first few chapters i just start coding something i want. Like after you learn loops find a program you wantto make and start making it step by step. For example a calculator. Keep going through the book at the same time too.

I habe already coded procedural bots and am fairly comfortable with basic selenium bots.

Thanks for the two cents.

Best of luck with that. I can recommend this, too:
