What does Mark Lutz teach?

Question

Python

I'm new to programming and don't really understand the need to read books. I want to become a programmer, now I am finishing school. Decided to learn Python, because. many recommend it as the first programming language. The study began by watching a 4-hour video on YouTube, which explains the entire syntax of the language. Then, a couple of days later, I wrote several small beginner projects like a text-based role-playing game on the console, guess the number games, tic-tac-toe, etc. I also wrote my telegram bot. Now I'm interested in the question: what to study next. Many recommend books, and on Python it is Mark Lutz. But looking through the pdf-file of this book, I could not find a single piece of code that would not be clear to me. Is that unfamiliar modules. The question arises: does it make sense to read it? Or just learn different Python modules?

Then it is better to become not a programmer, but a video blogger.

The question arises: Is there any point in reading it?

No. It is better to immediately send a resume to the largest IT companies in the world.

Nichrome you do not understand - you just think so.

Well, don't read.
Write tic-tac-toe at once, which you can play together over the network.
Then write a sea battle for two.
Then add the ability to save the game and load it. For two.
Then try to read the standard interview questions for June.

Answer 5

I don't quite understand the need to read books.

Well, you certainly joked well here :)
Read Fluent Python, since Lutz is too simple. In general, there is nothing in Python that needs to be directly "learned". Better spend time on Uncle Bob with his Clean Code and Clean Architecture.

Answer 6

You ca n't read books .
The videos are not to be watched.
What's left? Practice, documentation and specifications. true way.)

Answer 7

This is a textbook, the code in it should be understandable, but understanding the code when you read it and being able to write it, so that it is understandable not only to you, are two different things.
You need to read a textbook in order to form deep, systematic, complex knowledge, you need to watch a video, because bloggers can show you right away, such chips that you will reach on your own in a year and you definitely need to practice, because theory without practice is nothing.
