How Long Does It Take to Learn Python? (And Get a Job)

In this video, I discuss the things that you need to know before you start to learn Python.

Specifically, I answer these four common questions:
1- Should I learn Python 2 or Python 3?
2- How long does it take to get a job after learning Python?
3- How long does it take to learn Python?
4- What is Python used for?

Google "afternerd learn Python" to check my massive guide for learning Python.

01:51 How long to get a job?
05:10 How long to learn Python?
07:30 What can you do with Python?

Im an Aeropsace Engineer and now transitioning to be a Software Engineer. Wish me luck.

I began to learn python at June 2021, at September 2021 I've began at my job, so 3 months for me :-D

[RynzarSA]

how long to get a job ? = 1-learn python (7-8 MONTH), 2- learn how to take an interview(1-2MONTH) == So around a year

Good video man, real and down on earth. To encourage others I am 52 and not afraid of making a change. Learning every day a little bit, my mind is still doing great, learning basics but can’t wait to complicate the hell out of it! 1 year is not much today is January and tomorrow December, so nothing to loose, I am very excited, very important in this process.

[tobiasmelgard]

this is positive for me. I thought it would take like 5 years to become like good. this is motivating.

skipcount = -1
song = ['always', 'look', 'on', 'the', 'bright', 'side', 'of', 'life']

for sing in song:
if sing == 'look' and skipcount <= 0:
print (sing)
skipcount = 3
elif skipcount > 0: skipcount = skipcount - 1
continue
elif skipcount == 0:
print ('a' + sing)
skipcount = skipcount - 1
else:
print (sing)

output:

always
look
aside
of
life

#My Ques: How does it count to 3 or 0 in order to print look and aside? from which direction?

Waoh!!! Thank you. I’m an absolute beginner whose interested in DS but need to learn Python and other programming languages. Will look forward to your other videos

[postponingcamel]

Found your channel after reading your excellent article on "Difference between a List and a Tuple?"
Keep up the great work!

[vasliddincorporation]

Bro, much appreciated. it helped clear the clouds around my head

[jaysenossai]

Great video Kerim. Can you do a detailed video on the different levels you talked about 6:43 and the required skills for each level?

[Mogojoegotube]

Anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of months. It's quite simple once you get your head around it and it's a very good programming language to learn. Right now. I genuinely wouldn't even try to learn python 2. Defo go for python 3. "Job opportunities aren't limited by the languages you know" couldn't have said it better myself. There are roles for all languages and simply being a good PROGRAMMER and not a good python programmer will be the deciding factor. Get into the problem solving mindset and not the programming mindset

Due to algorithms, your content popped on my YouTube suggestions. I want to get into coding, primarily web development, for time being. Phyton is great to learn of doing backend dev though and quite useful to learn to automate various things on the PC.

I was in the British Army for 8 and a half years (sf 3 of those years) now have been a carpenter specializing in finish carpentry for 3 years. Loved time in the military overall and still enjoy carpentry and building now, but I’ve just started learning Python after getting curious about how programming works when I was bored one day and going down a rabbit hole of information and finding it fascinating. Hoping to learn Python well then learn other languages and look for a job in programming. I’m 30 but my back and knees feel 50 with my previous jobs and certain injuries I’ve picked up over the years and I owe it to my body to do something where I can sit down a bit more, from what I’ve seen the money is nice but honestly I just enjoy learning new stuff every time I sit down at the computer! Looking forward to my programming journey!

[garfusmaximusify]

That has to be the most useful and helpful video I have watched on my coding/networking/OS etc, learning journey I have watched to date (I have watched many). A simple road map, something a lot of people would appreciate.

[kevinjones]

Thank you, grounded answers but still very encouraging.

[steelsteez]

From a network engineer learning python for the first time, thank you very much for your explanation and insights

[larryhatcher]

I've been at it about 3 months now...It is frustrating that there is so much to learn but the only way is to do it...and do it...and do it....Also I will say that if you are easily upset by failure then this is not for you. You will run more bad code than good especially in the beginning

[abiodunsotannde]

Sincerely, I love you for providing solutions to these basic questions.

[Nephilim]

Have to take a programming class on python for my BS of ME. This video was really helpful for me to get a better idea of why python is what I will be working with at the University. Confirmed a lot of the implications I was suspecting and gave me additional information. Thanks very much for a great non-technical summary!

Long story short,
the more knowledge and skills you have, the more valued asset you become for any company.
