Python is a lot of fun! One of the best things to do is get a good IDE program. PyCharm is my favorite although there are a number of others. PyCharm was the most intuitive and easiest to work with in my opinion. I spent a fair bit of time in the last 2 years learning Python and have started a Github and all that but work picked up considerably of late so I haven't been able to dedicate time to getting the dust off those. I did thoroughly enjoy Python. It's an incredibly versatile and not super difficult language to learn and play around with! There are so many uses for it, it's amazing. It's not brutal like C, C++ or others so it's really fun to learn, even from someone who's not really a programmer by heart like me.

One of the things you can do if it suits you is try a coding app. There was one for my iPad that was incredibly helpful, SoloLearn and it really helped me with the initial stages of it. I've even got my little certificate lol. One thing I recommend is, when you're comfortable enough, working on some small projects! There are a lot of websites out there that list out various Python projects for you to do. I built a few games with Python.

This last one was one I couldn't quite figure out how to get working, the instructions weren't the best sadly..

```
import argparse
import os
import sys

# -------------------------------------------

def get_args():
    """Get command line arguments"""

    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
        description='Rock the Casbah',
        formatter_class=argparse.ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter)

    parser.add_argument('positional',
                        metavar='str',
                        help='A positional argument')

    parser.add_argument('-a',
                        '--arg',
                        help='A named string argument',
                        metavar='str',
                        type=str,
                        default='')

    parser.add_argument('-f',
                        '--file',
                        help='A readable file',
                        metavar='FILE',
                        type=argparse.FileType('r'),
                        default=None)

    parser.add_argument('-o',
                        '--on',
                        help='A boolean flag',
                        action='store_true')

    return parser.parse_args()

# -----------------------------------------------

def main():
    """Make funny confused noises here"""

    args = get_args()
    str_arg = args.arg
    int_arg = args.int
    file_arg = args.file
    flag_arg = args.on
    pos_arg = args.positional

    print(f'str_arg = "{str_arg}"')
    print(f'int_arg = "{int_arg}"')
    print(f'file_arg = "{}"'.format(file_arg.name if file_arg else ''))
    print(f'flag_arg = "{flag_arg}"')
    print(f'str_arg = "{str_arg}"')
```

These games here were fun and pretty good to build!

Reading is for nerds

woooh that looks heavy. . .
I once printed out a HTML tutorial on website, but can't even understand a thing lol.

at some point I should starts to read again. To add a bit of my knowledge. hahaha

the text mining seems a good book to read to me.

Wow, books that increase knowledge... I think Python will be very difficult for me if I try, because what I've learned is up to C++, and I think it's difficult hehe 🤣🤣

There's good, bad and ugly in this world. 🤠🐮🕯😤Re-sharing this.

The last book was quite famous I guess.
I heard about that from my friends but honestly I haven't read it yet.

Some contents might be easiy found in internet now, but having and reading it from a Book still gives a different feeling.

Have a great weekend.

That's so cool that you're looking at learning something new from the books - if nothing else, it's always good to get into something different. I've found myself doing a lot more non-fiction recently. Is 'Poor Dad Rich Dad' worth the read? What would you say is the key lesson in it?
!pimp

Muy bueno

What did you think of Rich Dad Poor Dad? I've never read it, but from what I hear from Robert he's pretty cliché, the type who's really good at selling and talking without revealing anything.

What a great set of books. I did a Python course a couple of years ago, now this post has jolted me back into relearning it mode!
Thanks for that and yes I am sure many people have read the last one. Not read it for ages and put on my list for the weekend!
