Python Users...Question

Well I think I got myself into a doozie.

I'm just a beginner with python, but I was wondering if should I have taken a beginner course or am I like jumping into the deep blue sea without the life vest. Haven't looked it over yet because I'm doing my statistics. But, I am just curious how it is was for you when you took the class?

I know website programming but I think this is computer programming.

I think this semester is going to clobber me.

Thanks.

As a Software Engineering student, I think starting out with Python is absolutely fine; it's an elegant and easy to learn language.

The basics of any programming language can be learned without taking a course. You may however have some trouble understanding more advanced topics like polymorphism or threading.

If you start having trouble, there are many outlets for you to further your learning through a different medium. One of my favorite channels is TheNewBoston on YouTube.

Another place I like to visit every now and then is DreamInCode. Very friendly and knowledgeable community at your disposal.

If all else fails, send me a message and we can chat on Skype. I'm always willing to help a fellow programmer.

Good luck with your studies. I hope everything goes well.

Another resource you may find useful: CodeAcademy

Good luck!

Thanks

I start tomorrow with the goodies..

Excited and nervous.
