Python Crash Course - Skip Chapters? - fries29 - Apr-02-2025
Hello everyone,
I have embarked on my journey to learn Python for quite some time and have really felt like I am learning how to use Python now.. My main goal is to use Python for Data analysis and visualization (I will begin to focus on Wes McKinney's book soon), but I am still working through the Python Crash Course third Edition.
Chapters 12 through 14 in the book focus on developing a 2D alien game, and then Chapter 15 through 17 work with Data Visualization, and chapters 18 through 20 work with web-based development (something I will not do). I do not believe that chapters 12-14 and 18-20 are really beneficial for what I want from Python and I believe that I should fully skip them.
Does anyone have any thoughts on whether I should complete those chapters or just work on the items that I need?
