full-speed-python

If you're learning Python, and know other programming languages, I have this online ebook [1] that I use with my students so that they learn Python fast enough so that I can teach them about socket programming. Basically, in each chapter I give a small detailed introduction to the topic and then students do some exercises to solidify things. [1] https://github.com/joaoventura/full-speed-python

I have this ebook on github [1] which I use to teach Python to my CS 2nd year students. It is quite short on information and has lots of exercises for them to practice and get up to speed with the language, fast. [1] https://github.com/joaoventura/full-speed-python/

SEEKING FREELANCE WORK | Portugal | Remote I'm available for Python and Django freelance work, if it's interesting enough. I've got 10+ years of professional experience working with that stack. You can check some of my projects at [1] and look at some of my code at [2] and [3]. I'm also a part-time CS Professor (I have a CS PhD - AI - TextMining), so I'm also available for tutoring students 1-1 (or small groups). Topics can include anything from CS curricula, but I have lots of experience introducing people to programming (I have a Python ebook with exercises - fullspeedpython [4]), and building web apps either in Python or Java (intro to programming, databases, networking, html+css, webframeworks, webservices => web apps). If you're new to CS and programming and you're self-learning, I can help you navigate what's important, what's irrel

I’m in the initial phase of structuring a book that aims to teach some simple algorithms and data structures using Python. The idea is that the reader should do the (guided) exercises to learn how to build those data structures. It’s basically “learn by doing”. For instance, to teach what a stack is I’ll explain the basic idea of a stack, then provide a base class and the reader must implement each method (init, push, pop, peek, etc) given the requirements and intended results of each functionality. I already have a kind-of “learn by doing” ebook about Python (https://github.com/joaoventura/full-speed-python), so it’s like a follow-up to that one. Don’t know if people are interested in a book like this, though..

Cool list! @pamoroso, if you read this comment, I've submitted an issue on the repo to add my own ebook (full-speed python). If someone stumbles on this on HN, here's the link to the repo [1] and releases [2]. It's basically a simple ebook where each chapter shows a little bit of what you can do with something (numbers, strings, lists, dicts, modules, etc.) and then the reader is asked to solve some exercises. I use this for my students (BSc and MSc students), who already know how to program, how to get up to speed with Python so that we can go learn sockets, the http protocol, webservices, web frameworks, etc..

I do about 5€/month on an astrology app on the Play Store [1], and I did 50€ once on my SaaS astrology web app [2]. The rest of my web apps [3][4][5] give me 0 (zero) per month.. I'm now planning on starting a python development blog, and I hope I can sell some courses if I'm able to drive an audience. I teach CS (next year part-time) on a local college and I have some tutorials and lab exercises for my students (some of which I shared at the full-speed python ebook [6]).. Edit: forgot that the fine guys at educative.io send my a monthly payment of about ~100€ for the full-speed python course at their platform [7]. I guess I'm much better at coming up with programming tutorials than with business ideas.. Some day my luck will improve! :) [1] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flatangle....

I'm curious about your book, as it seems small enough for the kind of things I write as well [1]. Can I ask if it earns you enough for anything? Sorry for coming out of nowhere, but I have lots of small tutorials I could use (I teach in a local college) which I could make small ebooks out of them.. Looking for some side money..

These are some of the lab exercises that I give to my students to get them up to speed with Python on my Distributed Systems course: https://github.com/joaoventura/full-speed-python They are 2nd year students which are mostly fluent in Java..

This is very cool! Last year I wrote a manuscript on an hands-on approach to learning Python [0][1], going to apply on your site.. :) [0] https://github.com/joaoventura/full-speed-python [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16622038

Well, you can try my "Full Speed Python" book [1]. Each chapter shows the minimal syntax needed for the chapter content, and then it has some exercises to get you going. I use it to teach Python to my Distributed Computing course students (2nd year students, which come mostly from a Java and C background). The first chapters are mostly for beginners, so I guess you can skip them if you want. I also talk about more advanced concepts on the later chapters (such as iterators, generators, coroutines and asyncio). You can get the epubs/pdfs from [2]..

Changed the book title to "Getting up to speed with Python" which is a more accurate title for what I wanted to write. Made a new release with a few corrections and the new title at https://github.com/joaoventura/full-speed-python/releases Cannot change anymore the title or the link on HN though..

Nice book. The simplicity of the build system for epub is impressive: https://github.com/joaoventura/full-speed-python/blob/master...

I've included a pandoc generated epub at https://github.com/joaoventura/full-speed-python/releases/

I've included a pandoc generated epub and it seems ok on my computer, would anyone be able to test it on a epub device to see if it works ok? https://github.com/joaoventura/full-speed-python/releases/
