Free Video Course + cool exercises
VIDEO PYTHON COURSE - 33 Videos and growing rapidly. Emphasis is on trying to make programming free and fun! Grow your own fun programs like the Mandelbrot set and John Conways Game of Life. See here for link to Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCad91ea17ynqc0cTokBG3bg This is a complete list with short description of videos for Python 3.0 + Course. Playlists include: 19 video tutorial: Great for revision or if you have come from another language, each ending with a quick demonstration with neat tips and tricks along the way. 33 video Course: Great for beginners covering everything from downloading and programming Paradigms to Functions, Modules and soon Classes and Object Orientation. This is a combination of the Tutorials to introduce you to a topic followed by an exercise to hammer it home and reveal more neat tricks and tips. 13 video exercises: Use these exercises to see what we have learnt in action. Also take a look at some really cool things that can be accomplished using some simple control flow. Grow your own Game of life (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeOcj15AAxQ), create your own Mandelbrot set (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqfbDAzA1Sw), and more from these fun exercises. + More videos for helpful information. Complete Video List: Python 0.0 - Downloading and installing Running Time: 1:47 Eyn2k about downloading and installing Python 3.0 + to get started scripting in Python.

Sorry, I have tried to refer to version of #3.0+ meaning most current version, though I wanted to make it clear we are not using versions of #2 because there is such a big difference between the two.

I do agree with 0.0 being confusing, though this is just a result of the structure of the courses, because there is a 'tutorial' playlist for review and a course for beginners. Python 1.0 basically means you have started learning python, anything before that is extra information (Though also necessary). I will see what I come up with for Downloading other than 0.0 No experience is required for the course, all necessary tools will be learnt along the way.

In the case of the Mandelbrot set or this one here, I was trying to make "programming fun" which is an idea I believe lost since early programming generations, and both can be achieved with absolutely minimal knowledge making it fun to learn. I do understand where you are coming from 'Chris "Kwpolska" Warrick', though, your own self serving link to your own website and unproductive post is closer to spam than my own, I offer something practical and positive to the community, even if the wrong community to post. Also the, "Most subscribers are already skilled Python" is a generalization and to speak for everyone is not fair. Where else can I post these if not to a 'forum' regarding the given subject? I am by definition working productively with this forum, engaging with an audience, which has so far mutually benefited us both, as I have already taken requests for tutorials. And once more "Especially because they are video tutorials, which are the worst way to learn anything -- especially programming." - this argument is simply invalid. No evidence can be offered to back this and some people learn better visualize as I did, because I started in a 3D graphical background, I almost needed to visualize Tuples as x, y, z co-ordinates to grasp them properly from he start. Everyone is different and we should celebrate different approaches! + I have attended University and decided that the video series has more to offer than a University certificate in terms of knowledge.

This is because I am hoping, the other members currently creatign tutorials will be posting and responding to people as well. It is not just one person here! To give my name when we are trying to be a small group would not work. > I am by definition working productively with this forum, engaging with > an audience, which has so far mutually benefited us both, as I have > already taken requests for tutorials. There are links to the video yes, though there is no way to post the video here so I do not have a choice... What would you do in my situation... You are currently working 10 hours a day to help an open-source community which I have learnt from over the years. Free videos, wikis and forums have been the conduit from which I learnt from (Uni was a waste of time). If my goal is to offer something back to the community (and teach for free what cost lots of money at university), and I am covering more advanced topics as we speak. Do I now have to work more hours, create my own web site as well and own forums for given topics and discussions. This is currently just not possible since I am basically poor because of University and spending 10 hours a day producing videos and trying to maintain a household. I did look up the definition of a "Forum" and the goals of this forum community, and I did not see anything wrong. Productive suggestions would be helpful, so far productive comments have been quiet absent and more 'nasty and immature'. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Originally we were going to share an account so we could engage from one account. Perhaps, as you have suggested, it would merely save some hostility if we did not share an account in the name of eyn2k and posted individually.

Learn from your own words and stop saying the same thing over and over, it is like talking to a brick wall. I admitted my mistake, and am looking at this GG thing today, the link previous said I could clean my text, this doesn't seem to work. I am only using this account while still on this topic so GG is gone. >"Hostility? Yes" Get over yourself and grow up! this was my second post, you have not even given me a chance or time! watch that link and remember godlike programmers only cause problems! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csyL9EC0S0c keep programming fun! and I'm sorry I couldn't help myself here: "You have three options. 1) Carry on the way you are and get plonked. 2) Change and be accepted." you only let me choose between two! that was funny! could go on but no point, just ask what your comments are going to achieve before the post -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
