Great videos! I also created a Music GUI in Python for my final project and I will attach the YouTube link below. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. If not, no worries. I am taking Advanced Python which is a 2 month summer course. I am either going to sign up for your course in the next few weeks or right after the Advanced Python course as it ends in early August. I find this Intro to Python course I just finished was the hardest course I have ever taken and was equivalent to like 4-5 regular college classes for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Brant Python Final Music GUI Python:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Python-FinalProject-MusicGUI-BrantBuckley-CollegeOfDupage\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9ooDKZA5WBk?start=58&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fastest Way to Learn Pro Code:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Great to know that most of the learning is on the job. That is why I need a job\u2026 I have done one project but need to get a website up and running and just jump in and go for it. I learned so much doing the MUSIC GUI Python project I came up with. Need to get in THE RING. That may be one of your best lines. I love that!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Freelancer Skill Set is Different:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sounds like I have a lot to learn to become a freelancer. Good video. Thanks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nerds vs Suits:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This sounds like a great song title!! I like how you talk about improving one&#8217;s interpersonal skills. I like your line about having self control. I found some of the tutors at the college I was at and some of the other students who were real computer nerds could not explain concepts to me in a way to understand it; meaning describing it in a way that\u2019s not technical. I felt like I was dealing with people who literally are computers and not humans, lol. I feel coming at this as being a musician I have a non technical way of describing the technical things learned and noticed there was a real communication barrier sometimes with the teacher and tutor I would see. I like your videos a lot as you explain things in such a way that anyone can understand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Escaping Tutorial Hell:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is nice to know that we will never know 5 percent of what is out there. Concentrating on the fundamentals: I think I am going to write that phrase on a sticky tab and put it on my computer. That gives me a boost of confidence. Thanks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to get your first coding job:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sounds like it is all about the fundamentals. NERD EYES! Love that term!! This is helping me with which direction I want to go. Thanks for this!! Your videos are really helping with direction. I currently feel lost after finishing the Intro to Python Course; where I am going\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PHP Have Messy Code:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cool video, but I don\u2019t know what PHP is, lol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Coders Fast with Caution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love this video and one of your most unique videos! Sorry to hear about your brain fog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Coder Life Live-Stream:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like your Jazz intros a lot to the Live Streams and the ocean views! Sounds like just going for it to get real world skills and or a job whatever it is, is crucial. This is very inspiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Enough Skills for job $60k as Developer:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The depth of the skills and ability. Love this quote from you!! I am learning a lot from all of your videos. REAL practical work; Love this line too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>All Web Developers Should Learn:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Very fascinating that it is all about the Strings. I didn\u2019t know this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What to Learn Along with Code:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really like how you talk about really finding out what one&#8217;s goals are. Sounds like the goal is the foundation that everything else is built upon. I also like how you say degrees aren\u2019t needed. I am running into a lot of people telling me I need the degree and I don\u2019t really agree with them\u2026 Great to hear this!! This is my favorite video so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How Coders Should Analyze and Solve Problems:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love the Nirvana Record! Great idea with writing concisely to communicate better.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can Developers Earn as the Learn:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Very motivating here. I really like when you talk about illusions and you don\u2019t need to know everything. I feel since I am new and after taking this Python College course and getting slammed with theory, I am trying to understand what I am really going to need to know\u2026 How it will translate\u2026 This video really helps. Nice Miles Davis!! Love the Steely Dan record too!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Memorization In Coding:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is good to know and all about understanding concepts like you say. I like this video a lot. I really like how you get into the mental aspects and assuring the viewer everything is ok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Developers Use Chrome or Brave:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fascinating, I have never heard of Brave until this video. Very interesting point you make about being a developer knowing the most widely used browsers to code against that. Very interesting!! The 90&#8217;s sounded very challenging with all the strategies used to re-code for different browsers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are Coding Jobs Hard to Find:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love the fishing analogy here and was just fishing today, lol. Humbling to hear about the Java developer getting laid off and that it took him a year to find a job. Sounds like time and patience are needed for getting a job. I like that your mentoring program has job searching and helping opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Using WordPress or just Vanilla:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Excellent video here: Very motivating here to get up a website and have it well laid out. That is a future goal of mine to get a website up and blog and have projects posted. Excited to build a website and start some projects and interview some developers who are also musicians to try and have coding explained in a different kind of way\u2026&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can a Mother Become a Coder:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes me feel better that I am 35 and not 50, lol!! I like how you talk about the diversity that is needed in coding, more women needed within the field. Inspiring video here: \u201cA forceful push into a new direction\u201d. Love that line. Thanks. I can see myself as a freelancer but need a lot more experience\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can 50 Year Olds Code:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really like this and how you talk about the roadblocks of coding are insecurities. I felt that a lot during Intro to Python. I finished the course and did great but just felt a lack of overall confidence within coding. I need to work on changing my self-talk within coding. I like how you talk about what studies show and being healthy. I find the college I am at, no one really talks about the mental aspect of coding so I am grateful that you do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are tips when learning to code: Comments from a viewer: Hi Stefan, I just finished my Intro To Python Course at college and finally have been able to watch your videos and here are my comments below.
