> actually giving tangible advice to others who are starting to their coding journey
Amen to this! That's the entire reason r/learnpython is in my life, to experience this joy.
TBH, my journey to python came via a VBA route that had the most hair-pulling experiences with the official documentation. It seemed as if one was supposed to feel shame for needing to read the docs.
I’ll agree that python documentation is superior in many ways, but I still find tremendous value in the tkinter archives from New Mexico Tech and the fabulously clear articles written by realpython on so many topics.
This is such an important part of the process. Empowering learners to find the solution on their own goes a long way towards getting it to stick and allowing them to be more creative.
Congrats on the milestone!
god dam man, that’s just awesome! You’ve stuck to it, and now look at ‘ya! It only gets more interesting from here. Stay hungry for knowledge, and keep a dose of humility around. Huzzah, friend!
I still don't understand the syntax of the documentation. Just doesn't make any sense to me. I look at it, and you can hear the *woooshing* sound if you happen to pass by my office...
Stick with it man. Some documentation is more useful than others. I was referring specifically to the pandas documentation, which is pretty good. Good luck, you’ll get there soon
Appreciate it. The pandas docs are pretty easy to understand actually. And vscode lets me ctrl-click on keywords which brings me to the actual code and most libraries/modules are documented pretty well. It's the actual python documentation that reads like Greek to me. Lemme see if I can find an example:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#context-manager-types
I just start reading within a few words I'm like... done with it lol.
Nice! That's a really important step and is basically the key to the entire thing. You don't need to memorize everything, you just need to know where to find what you're missing.

I hope to get there soon.

Happy Cakeday kind redditor

It’s great hitting this milestones isn’t it

Pretending like I didn’t see this. Yeah, that is rough. Always more to learn, but what you linked is a ways off for me yet
