MY JOURNEY WITH PYTHON!!! by cutegentility(m): 10:05pm On Aug 18, 2018
I salute all nairalanders in the house, most especially those that are into programming and to all aspiring programmers. I started to learn programming languages' "python, JavaScript and php" but with more interest in python. So, I wish to share my experience with both the expert and the beginners. So for the newbies it is a tutorial but for the experts it is a room to encourage, motivate and inspire the learning of python. Let's set the ball rolling.

In my journey with python, I got no mentor or motivator. So I started by watching YouTube video and I will encourage beginners like I do to start their learning using this procedure, one of this is EDUREKA. I find out that there are some shortcomings with Learning with PDF alone. But PDF from tutorial point is a bonus.

I am already done with some aspects of python.
Variables, functions, class, delete file, write file , open file, arrays, etc are done. I am now on python mySQL.

I started learning python last month around 26th day. I would have be through with python if not for procastination and some trivial distractions.

Also I find out that having mathematical knowledge will help a lot in programming and also, the procedure you followed. I think you should start from the introduction, operators and data types in python.

learning with w3schools.com is also cool. They got an in-built text editor for execution of code most especially if you are not using pc.
You will really enjoy learning python in that site.

nice one, I"ll bear this in mind.

The idea of logic gate is a good idea to understanding the comparison, logical and bitwise operator. Where The true value is equivalent to 1 and False equal to 0. Nb: True and False is a reserved keyword in python.

On all the aforementioned, any contribution will be welcome but if there is not I move on. I just wish this thread could inspire python programmers.

Now introduction to python.

Python was invented by Guido Rossum in 1989 in the institute of mathematics and computer science institute in Netherland.

To show it's importance, it is used by top companies/domains like YouTube, Google, bittorrent, NASA and the likes.

In view of this, python is an interpreted high level programming language that follows object oriented as well as procedural techniques of writing codes with dynamics semantics.

There are seven operators in python.

What is this one say?
So because you know class, variable, array and looping you think you fully understand the language?? Bro that a basic for every object oriented language. Except you are planning on using it for math problems, bro you know nothing and you can't fully articulate all program construct of a language within a year except for pHP and likes which are scripting language, do you know pygames, pyqt5 or even py for machine development? This are package under python

Please, for complete beginner. There are two version of python which are version 2.7 and version 3.6. It is advisable to download the version 3.6 because of its features, version 2.7 is just for those industries that are already using this version. Aside this, installing Python software is not enough without installing Python IDE. IDE is an abbreviation of Integrated Development Environment which enable one to work on multiple project. For me, I use the community version of pycharm as the professional version is a paid one.

Yeah, I find out that Python is a very vast programming language. It is used across many domains for data science, artificial intelligence, machine learning,GUI and the likes. I think Django and flask are Python framework for developing websites.

Ya. But for web development I prefer pHP or Java, am more fluent with Java due to it demand on Android software development. I do alot of pygames during my uni days, just for learning thou

OK, nice one bruh. I support PHP for web development any day any time. Only that Python is a beginner language.
Re: MY JOURNEY WITH PYTHON!!! by cutegentility(m): 9:28am On Aug 19, 2018
Now, for the Arithmetical Operator. You use Mathematical symbols.
+, -,/,* (addition, subtraction, division and multiplication)
** for exponential
// for flow division
and % for modulus division

you can't even differentiate between a module and a package.

Pygame is a module not a package oga ITK

It depends on the type of PDF(book) you have. I've never watched a Python video and I still know Python extremely well.

I'm actually a supporter of PDF over videos lol, everyone has different learning styles.

Pygame isn't a module, its a library since its a collection of modules. A simple check to Pygame's official Github page clear any doubts(read below)

Pygame, the library is cross-platfrom and designed to make it easy to write multimedia software, such as games, in Python. Pygame requires the Python language and SDL multimedia library. It can also make use of several other popular libraries.
https://github.com/pygame/pygame/

Modules are single code files.
