  • What do you think about Python?

LebMike wrotePython is definitely something worth having in your knowledge arsenal. Keep in mind, that once you understand basic programming logic, and have learned 2-3 languages, it's far easier to bounce around.
Exactly, every language has it's pros/cons. You need to dig deep into the basics of programming as a whole, instead of just using libraries here and there and call yourself a developer.

Once you've mastered the basics, you can really just read documentation and work your way around any language.

Of course, that still means that you will be much fluent and comfortable with languages you regularly use. But being versatile is very rewarding.

As for python , well after coding in Java and C family languages for so long. I just can't digest it :/
Sorry python fans :p

Python is strong and reliable. It's mostly used for scripting and utilities, and personally, I use it for automation most. For example like calling out API's then parsing the response back to do a certain task.

It is not 'hard' but overall, all programming languages need practice, and yes practice is the key. Being confident with the language will allow you to do many things and open alot of opportunities for doing projects and even job offers haha!
I'm not even a capital-P Programmer and I love Python. Even if you end up saying CS or programming isn't for you, and instead do something else remotely technical, knowing Python will be a great tool to have.

Wait, people actually wrote code to register?
I just computed it mathematically on a calculator.
Far less steps then finding an algorithm and then debugging if you have something wrong.

It's way faster to write code for it. It's like 5 lines of code.
Hello1245 wrote Do you think I'm gonna be a good Programmer?
No. There is no such thing as a good programmer. All programmers produce buggy, hard to understand code.
Hello1245 wrote Should I continue with Python or should I start with C or Java?. I've heard that Python is easy and fast, plus Nasa uses it. What do you think?
I think that "Nasa uses it" is a lousy argument.

I personally didn't like Python too much when I tried using it, I found doing simple tasks like opening a file being somewhat elaborate, compared to Node JavaScript.

Given the choices above, I would (and I mean me not you - so it only applies to me - but that's all the opinion I can give you), I would look into learning Java. My impression is that Java concepts are easy to understand and widely used across languages (Object-oriented, etc.). So in a way, Java feels like a "neutral" language.

It is the easiest, and yet it is in demand world wide (except in lebanon, where the only thing in demand is you know what)

I don't know what ... In my company we use any language/framework that is suitable for the job. I've even seen scala and haskell here.

Personally, I've never had a boss that was like "use this language not that". The only companies that do that are ones that offer minimum wage, and want to keep replacing employees often, fearing that the newcomers won't be able to work with some "alien" language/framework. Those companies are also dying if I'm not wrong (at least the ones I know).

Do you guys have any good resources for python coding for IT ? I won't know if any course online is good
This is a biased opinion, but I also suggest learning C after Python.
What kind of computer knowledge do you current have? Can you set up a compiler, etc...?

Start with C or java if python scares you.

C is very easy for people without previous programming knowledge. There aren't many concepts in C and once you are done with it, many other languages will feel like a continuation of what you learned in C.

Java is more comprehensive as it is a complete ecosystem. Here is a "from scratch" Java tutorial https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/getStarted/index.html
"Should I learn Python?"
I guess this is a timeless question.
