I started to learn Python as a computer science student. And it was very inefficient.
Although I had very limited time, I did not appreciate the value of time as my scarcest resource.
So I spent days browsing the web to find a resource that may help improve my Python skills.
But the web is full of crap. Any self-proclaimed "Python teacher" can create a WordPress blog, express their opinion, and hit "publish". And potentially millions of young coders will all waste learning time studying search-engine-optimized content.
Don't get me wrong, I love blogging and the democratization of information. The problem is that it becomes harder for you to find the needle in the haystack: how to learn more efficiently? Many so-called "Python tutorials" are really brain dumps of intermediate Python coders and not tailored towards effective learning.
As a student, I was a victim -- flooded by non-filtered, massive
amounts of low-quality Python information. And even when I stumbled upon objectively correct information, it was of poor educational value for me.
Why?
Because the self-proclaimed coding teachers just did not use the solid foundations of good teaching, let alone the latest research findings of effective learning.
For example, have a look at this important research outcome of a 2007 educational paper:
"Students who were quizzed after studying a short text could recall significantly more information than students who were asked to reread it"
-- Karpicke, 2007, Elsevier Journal of Memory and Language
When diving into the research -- discovering dozens such golden nuggets of smarter learning -- I realized:
Practice testing is scientifically proven to generate up to 44% better learning retention and efficiency.
Simply put: quizzes and puzzles work!
So why is nobody using it?
In fact, learning does not happen in a linear and orderly manner. It's a probabilistic, chaotic, and iterative process of creating knowledge gaps in your brain -- and filling them with just the right information you need.
That's the premise of the "Coffee Break Python" textbook series.
For other coding books, you have no way of measuring your learning progress.
But what you don't measure, doesn't get improved! As it turns out, the reverse statement holds as well (even though it does not strictly follow from a logics point of view): what you measure, gets improved!
Solving rated Python puzzles and quizzes is a fun way to measure your Python skills.
It's true: randomly browsing online Python tutorials is a waste of your scarcest resource -- TIME.
That's why I have created a brand-new learning system. Its foundation is puzzle-based learning to code, it's rooted in educational research, and it's practically proven by more than 50,000 online coders on my web application Finxter.com.
My students report that learning with this system is not only fun -- it simply works.
Now lean back, relax, and allow me to present you the information in a way that's optimized for fast learning and retention:
I did the digging and aggregating of the most practical Python information,
I skimmed through the newest research of educational science in order to present you the material in the most effective way, and
I designed a fun way of delivering the skill of rapid code understanding directly into your brain.
And here's what you are getting out of it:
You understand Python code quickly
You learn all the basic Python keywords and data structures.
You finally understand important algorithms such as Quicksort and Fibonacci.
You track your Python skill level exactly and compare it against other coders
BONUS: You learn everything you need to know about slicing in Python
The promise: As you work through Coffee Break Python, your Python expertise will grow. One coffee at a time.
You will train wildly important Python topics such as
1
Arithmetic operations: integer & float division, and modular arithmetic;
2
Language elements: branching, loops, keywords, and functions;
3
Data structures: integer, float, string, list, set, dictionary, and graph;
4
Sequence operators: indexing, concatenation, slicing, and built-in functions;
5
Function *arguments: default *, arbitrary *, unpacking *, keyword *;
6
Set operations: lambda, filter, map, and intersection functions; and
7
Algorithms: recursion, Fibonacci, Bsearch, sorting, guess & check, and graph traversal.
As a bonus, you will track your individual Python coding skill level throughout the book.
This book is not only for beginners in Python.
It's also for those who are already beyond beginner-level in Python. For example, you may already have some experience with another programming language; you may be an engineer; or you may be a computer science student.
But if you are a coding pro, this book is still for you because it empowers you to prove and strengthen your true Python skill level.
Know thyself and you will know the universe!
