Week 2: Job Opportunity And Review Of “Automate The Boring Stuff With Python” By Al Sweigart

In this video I talk about the progress made so far, a potential job offer I received and a review of the book I’m using to learn how to code python.

Thank you for the review. I was thinking about buying the book, but wasn't sure if I'd do it since I'm also following a Udemy course which also covers the basics of Python.

Your review was the deciding factor for me and I'm going to get it. Like you said you can go through the book at your own pace. Your video was very inspiring, thanks again!

Nice! I just got into the book and really enjoying it so far.

I would also add that something like Quality Insurance, Software Testing, and Automation Testing is a good entry point if you can get with the right company. I have been a QA manual tester for 2 years, and I have recently been using both python + Selenium in order to create automated tests for my new company. If you could find a good QA position that at least had the potential to expand into writing automation code that could be a good way to see a real professional code base and work on a software team. I know QA can be a good route for those who want to eventually be a developer but don't necessarily have the coding chops to come on right now as a full time coder.

Do you think UBI is a possibility in the US within the next 20 years?
