Nice job again, Tim. I'm in my late 40s and started programming in Python after i was damn near broken after a nasty car accident. i spent six months in physical therapy and learning to program was a way to help me not focus on the pain. Your videos, as well as other put me well on my way. so thanks my man. You have no idea how much you helped.

[The_Innovative_Engineer]

I have been watching your videos for a few months now and have learned so much already! It encouraged me to pursue an online certificate in computer science which I just received after completing a degree in engineering. So much many more lessons to learn but I’d like to acknowledge you for being a big impact towards my growth.

i was worried that curses was too old or obscure for me to find any kind of useful tutorials that actually explain the functions and I'd have to slave over documentation forever to figure it out, but then I remembered youtube existed and low and behold here I am. God bless u sir

[yung-megafone]

ayyy thank you for making this so easy to follow!

i made the paint application earlier and I am about to make the speed typer application. You are helping me relearn and expand my python knowledges. You earned a sub man, keep it up!

[mechwarrior]

Whatever it is I want to learn about, you already have an expertly made video on it Tim! Thank you so much for putting this amazing content out there.

Looking forward to the next part! Sometimes (most of times) I write applications for limited users, writing a GUI every time with PYQT is extremely distressful. Long live cmd!

[FrancescoTattoli]

That's exactly the course i needed to complete my invoicing program. The right man at the right time Tim, thanks!

[Shagadin]

Tim, your channel (together with two or three others) is always in my list when I recommend material to a person that wants to start programming. GOOD JOB!

[cuszco]

Another great tutorial. My only criticism is that you maybe spent a little too much time explaining how to navigate the filesystem. I think that people who are concerned with how their terminal applications look have passed the "What's a computer and how do I use it" stage ;)

[myfunnyval]

Heey Tim,

I'm so glad I hit on your tutorial. I'd been poking around looking for escape sequence to try to achieve some of the things curses does, and you just saved me from re-inventing the wheel. I use Python on both Linux and Windows, and looking forward to trying some of this out.

[woulg]

Wo, the amount of effort that you put into this, the beauty, clarity and pacing of the video. Damn, you're a great teacher and thank you I really wanted to learn about this and I'm very thankful to find a great teacher that is covering the topic so well. Looking forward to watching the whole series and following along (or at least as far as I get before my ADHD takes me on some other quest haha)

[meercat]

ur tutorials deserve so much more recognition

[j.o.e.l-joelsonlineeducati]

Thanks Tim. Really wanted a curses tutorial series !

[ahmedalzahrani]

Hands down. Tim is really great! I love your videos and I enjoy your teaching style.

7:16 An easier method is: click in the address bar of the folder you want, type "cmd" and press enter. It will open a terminal in the working directory of that folder.

[Staninna]

Just when I wanted to make a chat application with it u get me with this and now i can make it ✨pretty✨

[NikoKun]

After seeing that first typing-test demo, I had a weird urge to try making it, without curses or anything else! ..And I actually figured out a way to do that portably, without needing additional libraries beyond what Python comes with. ;D

[ioim_]

I’ve been waiting for a vid like this
Thx a lot

[LGseeker]

Great video Tim, love how thorough you are

[ramgopalvarma]

This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you Tim.
