I'm not sure if newbies can understand these videos as simple as it might look like, but as a developer i really liked the simplicity, actually the best I've ever seen. simple and fast

I total agree with Hepi. "Real world" application of the basic principles can be difficult to apply if you are trying to teach your self via the internet. This is where the people who are employed and are exposed to experienced programmers in the work place have a huge advantage as they absorb so much through osmosis ( seeing and watching people code as well as listening to the banter that occurs within the workplace is highly informative ). If you want to fill in a void in programming tuition Engineer Man, here is your opportunity. Reverse engineer an app or program. Every body builds programs from scratch. Go the other way and deconstruct a program and explain how the programming modules interact with each other. I have found a course on Udemy that has something like this but it is still lacking That's my view and that is what I am (still) looking for. Help us out here !

Perfect playlist.
I was looking for a concise, to-the-point playlist.
Found exactly what I needed.

love these videos so straight forward and easy to understand.

[RussellSmith-nvje]

Thank you for the video series. I find these really helpful as someone who knows how to program in other languages and want's to get familiar with Python.

[AJ]

if I were a newbie in programming, I might have not understood this so easily. Fortunately for me, I have some experience in JS, C++, C++(for raylib), C#(still very bad at it), and HTML.... These videos are really good and we do apreciate them

[eternalblue]

Great video, I have been on and off learning Python for a year now and your videos really do help me understand more. Thankyou :)

[RNMERIA]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge on the channel

Where I struggle is with what exactly call and return do in the background/what they are used for in real coding situations. Other syntax seems self explanatory but not these two. How could I visualise what these functions are for?

Can you make a calculator or model for formulating livestock feed? a basic model for farmers to know how much certain raw ingredients to make for livestock feed.

Hi, will you make in the future a tutorial to create an useful app in which you include all the basics and OOP elements? I see many online courses and tutorials that teach every element separately, but they do not show how to use it in practice. :D

[akmccutcheon]

assuming that's sublime, you can use 'ctrl + b' to run python directly from the IDE (.... i think that's the correct combination of characters)

[Juan_deep]

Can you please do a series with Python and AWS services

[LawAbidingCitizen_]

Im having trouble understanding how to stay updated or where to find different functions or commands such as print, return, and def. in some instances as i watch your videos depending on the current version "print n1 + n2" is no longer that. after a bit of searching i found that it is now "print()". how do you stay updated and avoid syntax errors when an update rolls out and changes how things are written?

[tracemiller]

are you gonna make an intermediate python video too?

[alexduvall]

So the def define the function my_fn()? (n1+n2) are parameters?

[robertperly]

Great videos - I’m a .net guy but python runs so fast👍🏻👍🏻

Is it possible to build a GUI in python? Could you do a tutorial on a python interface

[brenosantos]

I didn't understand why would I put "return" instead of "print". Can someone explain that pls?

[EverynameTaken]

i was understanding the previous vids until we got to this point, I'm completely lost here

[sahithiankireddy]

so in python, you have to define a function and then call it for it to run, it wont't automatically run from the defenition code, yes?
