Want to learn a programming language during lockdown. Need some advice: I want something that’s relevant to solutions/cloud architect, so I am assuming python over java? Any free online courses/interactive classes that you 🐠 folks recommend me taking? Open to any advice and suggestions.

Python makes sense. Focus on csci fundamentals, not just memorizing syntax

Classes that teach computational thinking while learning the language is ideal. Working also to apply to my current problems via programming is added bonus to practice... but need the time.

I spoke with a comp sci friend recently about this! they also suggested python because it is about as easy and user friendly as a programming language can get. it lends itself well to data science, according to them. it also really helps the learner understand the logic behind programming

Thanks for the reassurance! That’s why I choose python ! Glad to hear I’m on the right path haha

If you want to spend some time learning some fundamental CS concepts, check out the Harvardx CS50 class. It’s free and incredible. I picked up python working on projects and this class has been helping me understand stuff I’ve done at a deeper level

Taking next week off to learn python. Want to get into Datascience

Related question to OP's original question: As we become novices in the new language over time, i.e. by the time we interview for our next job, how would this new skill come into view? Should we expect coding examples during the interview process for non-data scientists?

Good evening everyone,

I have to rant and seek advice. It’s my 5th year teaching overall. I’m a 1st year at a new district it’s been really nice except for just some very small inconveniences: no classroom budget, too many meetings during planning time, printers are so bad that I had to bring mine from home, my district gives teachers chromebooks for laptops. I’m a a point where if I was invited to come back next year I’d say tell them no, am I crazy, is it just me? Please help
