I am scared of snakes but looks like I will have to face Python

Hi Folks,

After years of laziness and utter avoidance it looks like I will have to learn some coding :). Anyone here a Veeam/Python champ who can point me in the right direction to where/what and how to learn. I know about the VeeamGitHub repo. Any advice about how best to go about this task from the expert snake charmers would be much appreciated.

Code Academy is super famous for code learning even from beginner level:

but I find this nice too (there’s an updated yt video)

You could look at Pluralsight here - https://www.pluralsight.com/search?q=Python

Or Udemy has courses for Python too - https://www.udemy.com/courses/search/?q=python&src=sac&kw=Pyth

Thanks folks, in fact right before my eyes there was a course in Kodekloud that I had somehow missed :). I will try that one and see how it goes. Don’t want to overdue it.

A lot of great resources have been shared @Geoff Burke! Here are some few recommendations 

  • Learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/Python (in order to have your environment setup correctly)
  • realpython.com
  • geeksforgeeks.org (great for beginners)
  • Learn python the hard way. Search for this repository on guthub “ubarredo”

I recently got in just like you are about doing and I succeeded in creating my scripts and webpage to host the results. Not I am out. This is the problem -:) This is the second time in my career I am jumping in and out.

Haha, I totally get it! The only “python” I’ve ever been brave enough to face is the one with scales, not lines of code! 🐍 But looks like you’re about to charm the other type of snake—Python programming! 🧑‍💻 While I can't help with coding, if you ever need a break from all that tech stuff, come check out my site, "https://snakesworld.info/." I promise, the only pythons there are the ones that won’t crash your code... but they might squeeze your curiosity! 😂 Good luck with both kinds of snakes!
