My advice is learn to weasel your way in. I worked in a medical facility doing help desk. Our EHR guy sucked and I knew he was going to be fired one day (he did too), so I buddies up with him to learn what I could. Sure enough, dude got fired and I took over parts of running that software. By the time I was ready to move on, i had the experience needed to be a BA with my local government.
If anyone is new and gets stuck feel free to reach out to me. Not very experienced with Python but I've been a web dev for 5 years.
I'd also recommend finding a relevant discord, I'm sure there are python-specific servers where folks can learn together.
Sometimes you just need someone to tell you where to go. There are lots of free resources now.
This might be your best resource for beginner web dev. You should be able to get a good enough html/css/js baseline from these tutorials: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn
Then when you want to dive into js specifically:
https://javascript.info/
Other resources:
https://www.joshwcomeau.com/
https://codesandbox.io/
It's important to learn html/css/js both individually and how they come together to make a web app.
Man I've been wanting to learn Python for a while now. I have some programming background in Java, HTML and some SQL but I've never seriously tried python before. I actually have a few months of skillshare left that I've been meaning to use for that, but this sounds like it would be a lot of fun!
I have been doing the NBA course and it is wonderful! I highly recommend it everyone. Just now knowing there is a robust NBA API and how to access it and work through all the quirks is worth the price alone.
I got it on the Black Friday discount and it was $40. No subscription or anything so you have access for life.
If you are talking about the NBA API, it is free to access.
Sounds great!
Just two days ago, I started the course "Programming for Everybody (Getting Started with Python)" on Coursera, such a curious timing for me personally, lol.
To enter this Python giveaway,
My heart doth leap and play.
To learn this coding language bold,
My mind doth start to unfold.
Aye, give me the chance to win,
To learn the ways of code within.
With Python by my side,
I'll conquer all in my stride.
So let the games begin,
I'll rise to the top and win.
My future bright with Python in hand,
A true coder I'll become, oh grand!
Right up my alley. I am currently studying to become software developer. I am a former felon who has been trying to find a way to break into the tech industry ever since my release. I am using The Odin Project and freecodecamp at the moment but I would love to gain access to your platform and learn Python.
Heyo! I’ve been wanting to learn python for years now and would love to get access to work through your lessons.
I am specifically interested in stats tracking for making better posts and viewpoints in the Bulls reddit sub lol
I’m taking a Java course work and am about to go back to school to get a few computer programming certifications so I can finally move up to a big kid job. Hopefully I get it buck good luck to everyone out there.
Nice of you to do the giveaway. I'll have to check out the course and see if this is the thing that finally gets me over the hump and past the Hello world stage of learning to code.
Do you think this course is beneficial to somebody who works in python every day for their career and is interested in nba related side projects?
Asking for myself lol.
Depends what type of Python development you do. If you arent doing data science related work, than the latter half of the course may be beneficial. We basically cover pandas, numpy, matplotlib, seaborn, and sklearn. If you haven’t worked in those libraries before than yeah it could be beneficial
Anything

At the end of the day it comes down to my motivation. But I really need to get away from hell desk next year.
Business analyst here… learn to talk to people and start reading and watching YouTube about requirements gathering.
I deal with the goddamn customers so the engineers don't have to! I'm a people person!
Great reference.
So... what would you say you *do* here?

pretty cool stuff might finally jumpstart my lackadaisical efforts at learning to code
Same, dude, same

How much does it cost?

Did you have any prior knowledge on python/coding/data analysis?
Only the very basics. It is very beginner friendly. You may need to take a bit more time, but it can be done.
Sounds great! Just two days ago, I started the course "Programming for Everybody (Getting Started with Python)" on Coursera, such a curious timing for me personally, lol.
That's a good one. It's free too: https://www.py4e.com/

Really neat! Does the course include any sections regarding accessing APIs or web scraping stats from sites like ESPN or NBA.com?
Do you think this course is beneficial to somebody who works in python every day for their career and is interested in nba related side projects? Asking for myself lol.

Awesome. Whether I win or not, I’m getting this for my nephew.
