A Byte of Python : Done and Dusted

Have you got the output? Is there some indentation error or syntax error? Did you save it as the correct file name with .py?

All these different kinds of questions with different people have helped us all go through one of the best courses I have had in Srishti. Every little thing helped me understand right from the syntax to basic UNIX command lines and finally Python. Programming as a prototyping tool for Design helped me get started with programming. The way everything was structured was fun. It made me go back home and go through tutorials and learn further. Right from learning the syntaxes and building a coded prototype, was a fun learning experience for me. The space gave us all the ability to share our codes, learn from others through fun and challenging quizzes for the same. The quizzes were helpful.

Building a new concept with a coded prototype makes me feel less scared of coding now. The last week was one of the best weeks, as it is when I opened A be of Python and understood it every byte of it. Trying out different combinations and permutations to get to a desired output was our aim as a group. We tried that with different ways, came with a simple code but did not work out. We reworked on the same again with different combinations, this time with new commands.

“Talk is cheap, show me the code!”

Only discussing about the code does not help, we need to show each other the code, when it comes to working as a group. Showing the code helped us as that is what set the base to take a step further when we tried combining the code. The mountain is half climbed now, as I have delved one step further into the world of programming through YouTube videos, books and classmates, who have helped me a lot through this class.

This course has given me a new path towards programming and developed a path of curiosity for further learning processes. I am looking forward to the advanced programming course.
