Can I Program in Python Yet? — 2.5 months of programming
How it’s going:
I am super excited about the progress I have made so far. I have almost finished 2 beginning programming books. Recently, I purchased Advanced Python for Biologists to learn about recursion and dynamic programming among other concepts. I am excited to start on this book to learn more challenging concepts.
I started attending programming meetups in the Los Angeles area to get myself comfortable interacting with other Python Developers. By attending the meetups. I realized that I need to step up my efforts and challenge myself with harder python problems so I will be job interview ready. I am thinking of trying codewars or something similar to gain more practice. Also, I will delve into data structures and algorithms since this is essential to getting any job.
Projects I finished:
No projects this month!
The main things I studied:
- Conditional Statements
- Regular Expressions
- Dictionaries
- Classes & Modules & Objects
I am almost done with Chapter 8 of Python for Biology. I should be wrapping up the book in the next week.
I am almost done with Learn Python the Hard Way. I completed up through exercise 40 at this point.
What I’ll do next month:
- I will attend 2 python programming meetups.
- I will finish my variant calling pipeline. I am really eager to get this project on GitHub.
- I will start my Advanced Python for Biologist book./
