I hear a lot of people say, "I am a quick study!" And that is great, Dr. Strange is better for it, but me, I am not one. I could, if pushed, be a bit quick, but in my experience, the more I learn by slowing down and taking my time and doing it right, the better I am for it. It is just who I am. Nothing against quick studies. I am also a visual learner, yet love to read. So I am not afraid to watch hours of video to visualize something or read a book, website, blog, etc., to gain knowledge on a subject.
With that said, I seek council on what I am discovering lately with Python and some tools of the trade. I would like to know what resources you use (the experienced users) to make your Python learning and productivity worthwhile. Specifically, pip, cmder and virtualenv. With a small focus on how you use github, too, if you have the time.
These three tools are listed in about half a dozen books, websites, blogs and videos for learning Python as a beginner. And github seems to be the go-to for all collaboration for many, many projects out there, but my experience with it is highly limited, so I have started an online course to learn how it works and see what I can do to help those that come behind me. I have a long way to go.
Are these the best tools to learn with Python? If not, what do you recommend I use to make my learning more effective? And can you list your sources of information so that I can dive into the knowledge and come out better for it?
Eager to learn,
