python VS adventofcode

So, I’m fairly new to this group and I dare say that I am addicted. I have always had a deep love for computers plus I have always loved figuring out how things work. I am almost 37 years old and am in the process of learning how to code on Python. My eventual goal is to get paid to write code whether that be freelance or for a company. Right now though, I am looking for any coding boot camps or coding dojos that you all could recommend. I was just turned on to https://exercism.org/tracks/python and I wonder what other learning avenues there are that I haven’t discovered. Send me any thing that helped you learn or that you feel would’ve helped you learn when you were just starting out. I really appreciate it.

(this is great practice too: https://exercism.org/tracks/python , this will help a lot too: https://www.coursera.org/specializations/discrete-mathematics )

Sign up for this website and join the Python learning track. It will help you to get started.

https://exercism.org/tracks/python is also pretty good.

Exercism is a great place to go for more programming practice while you're learning during a course: https://exercism.org/tracks/python

It won't take you a year to learn, just remember the more code you write the faster it is you get better https://exercism.org/tracks/python because you will be reading the language documentation and figuring it out as you go. It will be slow at first but in a week of doing just little problems over and over using different containers and features of the language you'll do fine and remember what you learned because you figured it all out yourself.

My Scala solution – to be cleaned up.

Welcome back to my series of Advent of Code solutions in MiniScript! Day 18 was pretty straightforward, though it presents some interesting choices in how to represent the data -- choices I'm not sure I made optimally.

And I've solved all of the Advent of Code problems so far this year, which is utterly unimportant but still brings me joy.

If you'd enjoy some coding challenges, advent of code (https://adventofcode.com/) is currently going on.

Welcome back to my series of Advent of Code solutions in MiniScript! In Day 17 we got to (sort of) play Tetris. Five different Tetris-like shapes fall into a pit, moved left or right on each step according to the input. The first task is to see how high this stack will grow after 2022 blocks have been dropped in.
