Topic: Should I teach myself Python - page 2. (Read 1016 times)
I am a new to programming and the first language that i use is python. So far, I enjoy my journey using it, a very beginner friendly one. I also use solo learn app to help me more understand python.

The proximity of Python to human language makes many schools, colleges and training centers use it as a programming language to teach beginners in computer science classes calculated. Today, love for Python is ubiquitous, from the world's leading programmers to new programmers.
They really are going fo it with Python. Today's book is
Python Data Structures and Algorithms [eBook]
Python Data Structures and Algorithms [eBook]
Are you sure they go through the entire library? Since you mentioned that site to me that same book has come up three times...
Mostly, their newest books of course not.
Today's free book is
Mastering Python Networking

And are the books PDFs? Are they legit copies, or scanned from a textbook? If not, why would the publisher let them give it away for free. Just my skeptical mind.
They are in multiple formats including PDF, EPUB, MOBI and online reading. They also include zip-files with all code examples. This is a legit site/service. In the end they try to sell you books ofcourse, these free books are meant to lure you in. But you can still claim a book every day without having to buy anything. I've been collecting eBooks from PackT publishing, and the latest free book is Scientific Computing with Python 3. They have a daily free book, and several of them are Python related, that's what stimulated my interest. If you want today's free book you've only got 7 hours to grab it, but they do cycle through the list, so it will turn up again. If you download it, don't forget to get the code file as well.

Great free books list, i take some about JS and node.
Python is a powerful tool, but i think JavaScript is better because is focused to online projects. At end it depends on the application that software will have, if you want to make an android app you'll need to learn other language than python or JS. and if you want to build a game maybe you will go with C based engines.
I'm always afraid of giving my email. How reliable is that website? And are the books PDFs? Are they legit copies, or scanned from a textbook? If not, why would the publisher let them give it away for free. Just my skeptical mind.
If your interests are for use in cryptocurrency/blockchain related enterprise, you really cannot do much with low level language like assembly, C, C++,you would need python. It is more relevant for cypto/blockchain development. You may find the video below useful to make a decision https://youtu.be/SpRz3z5e4C4

I was taking a programming class last year which included Python and some assembly. Of course you should learn some high level language, since who really programs in assembly this day in age. I've never seen a job application asking for assembly.
(Note that high level does not mean more advanced, it just means that it's more abstracted from the hardware, while low level is closer. The lowest level is machine language, the zeros and ones, so high level languages end up getting compiled to low level ones.)

I've been interested in Haskell for a bit as well. That or golang.
Generally speaking though, I would only really learn Haskell after learning top market languages. Lets face it, the languages which "pay the bills" are the ones mostly in demand (Java, Python, PHP, etc)

I suppose haskell is probably done alongside other languages.
Haskell is particularly good for big data mining, hashing and mathematical solving.
There are other languages like the Cs and Python which are sometimes better with mathematical problems when they can be iterated (such as finding factorials)...
Java is the biggest because that's android and website programming...
If you're planning to develop crypto-currencies and program cryptography in future, go for Haskell instead of any other popular language like Python, Java, C, etc (yup, forget everything else!)... Haskell (currently being used by Cardano only) has the best security for cryptography and once you learn about it, you'll be surprised to see how awesome it is mathematically.
I do like haskell... There are quite a few British universities that post their lecture powerpoints on it too which is quite nice to follow.
It takes quite a while to get used to but for network broadcasting and hardware controlls, python may be better (you can run haskell scripts in python too - using os.system)...

For me Python is great, its a relatively easy language to learn with many tutorials and materials online and free access. Plus, the code can be tailored to so many things.
I'm using Visual Studio Code under Linux. Works very well!

Ok, what is a good ide for phyton in your experience? Im looking for something with autocompletition and realtime debugging at least.
PackT seems to be having a run on Python at the moment - today's book is =

Python is usually my goto reco when it comes to learning a new language. Extremely helpful in all walks of development (especially scripting/bots, etc)
While it's not the primarily language I use (something that is more market determined, not by choice), It's definitely my goto whenever I have the choice of which language I use.
