"Beginner", however, is a very vague term. A good scientist
or engineer who (for some reason) never programmed before
(or, at least, not in Python) is a totally different kind
of a "beginner" than a secretary, a garbage collector or
a schoolchild. Quoting:
Γ╗I've found that some of the best [Software ]developers
of all are English majors. They'll often graduate with
no programming experience at all, and certainly without
a clue about the difference between DRAM and EPROM.
But they can write. That's the art of conveying
information concisely and clearly. Software development
and writing are both the art of knowing what you're
going to do, and then lucidly expressing your ideas.Γ½
