A realistic roadmap to becoming a Python developer This is a highly opinionated, pseudo-motivational, unconventional and almost rant-like developer roadmap article. This article is more than a compilation of best books/videos/courses to learn Python and covers the bigger issues that a beginner/early-intermediate faces on their journey. These are the undocumented problems Stack Overflow does not solve. Why Python ? Why should you learn Python anyway? Why not one of the 20 other languages trending right now? As you’re beginning your journey, this questions crops up multiple times (a day). Picking your first programming language is a lot like picking a starter pokemon. The inherent capabilities of a language are less significant than the skill of the programmer in using said language and their grit to make it into the big league. If you want to start with a different language, do yourself a favor and stop reading this article. You’ll hav

I know I am not the only person out there whose journey into software engineering was delayed because I just didn’t know where to start. The plethora of resources provides an incredible opportunity but also can make embarking on the first steps intimidating. For those of you thinking of taking those first steps, or who are in those first steps, here are 10 things that I wish I had known before I began. 1.

While your first language will almost certainly be the hardest to learn and many of the most basic fundamentals will be similar across languages (variables, iteration, etc), it is worth the time and effort to do some research and decide which language you want to start with. Ease of programming is something that should certainly be considered. Be honest with yourself about how confiden
