Extremely welcoming

Learning Python

I signed up to keep up with the latest trends with respect to Python, Pandas, and new developments in all the related topics. I want to keep using Python so my code generation becomes more fluent and natural, rather than slow and slightly clunky.

I’ve gotten an overall awareness of all the moving parts of programming with Python — including issues related to installation of Python and packages, using repositories, and the sheer amount of resources and information available on all sorts of Python topics, which can be overwhelming. I also benefit from having the ability to ask specific questions as part of the periodic office hours rather than spend hours searching the web and still not really being sure of the answer really important to me. I look forward to these sessions even if I don’t have any specific questions as it is also really helpful to learn from others that attend.

The environment is extremely welcoming, even for very simple questions. The Bamboo Weekly challenges are awesome and I always learn new techniques for organizing and interpreting data.
