LEARN PYTHON NOW! Book: The Pillars of Python. #20 — The end and now what?
“Don’t forget for a moment, it is to stay behind, not to go forward!” — Ramon de Campoamor
We have already seen the theory needed to start programming, we have read the driving manual we need to pass the driving test. So, now what do we do? Now we’re going to start driving, but we’re also going to do it by seeing the best drivers.
We will practice what we have learned by going one step further in all programming languages and not only solving the exercises but seeing how the best programmers in the world have solved it and analyzing their techniques and way of thinking.
To take our skills to a new level we will start a new course of programming competitions with Python.
Why solve programming competition problems instead of making projects?
For three reasons:
1 — The ultimate goal of any painter will logically be to paint pictures. However, joining painting competitions where he has to demonstrate his skills to very specific problems will make him get out of his comfort zone and develop techniques that he can use later in his paintings.
2 — Because you are trying to learn programming, it is likely that you will want to work as a programmer in some company, so it is also likely that you will have to pass some programming tests. Such programming tests are directly drawn from the problems of programming competitions and are widely used by companies such as Facebook, Google, Amazon and Apple.
3 -The problems of programming competitions are usually quite amusing if you are the type of person who likes puzzles and challenges.
I invite you to our next series “Learn Python with programming competitions.”
