Spent 4 hours learning Python since yesterday. I'm happy about my ability to concentrate that much on this!

I didn't get any wrong answer at quizzes, I get it pretty easily.

I'm done with detecting and writing variables (strings, numeric and boolean), user input, display output, decision making and just started studying for loops.

Of course I'll have to code a lot to practice, but for now it seems really easy and fun to me!

So glad I made this decision! 

I'm done with learning loops and functions! 🎉

Each step is a huge victory, especially as a disabled person with low spoons and attention deficit.

Really gotta keep this in mind!

I learnt so much in five hours, yesterday morning I didn't even know what you could do with Python or anything about it.

Now I have chosen my three daily learning apps and found all the ressources I needed after hours of search!

I'm kinda proud today, even if it's just the beginning. ✨

Yesterday, I've only been able to practice for 30mins because of my physical health. I didn't learn any new thing, just practiced!

Today, I've been learning and practicing for an hour so far! That means I've been learning for 6 and a half hours since I began!

I've learnt:
- f-strings
- indentation
- exponentiation with the power operator
- floor division

I've practiced again types (int, float, bool) and conditional statements (if, if else and elif) mostly!

🥰

15mins again. I'm gonna continue, obviously! 🤩

I know how to import a module, I did it with the math one.

I'm now practicing functions again because I still have doubts on some.

I 100% got math.pow, math.floor and math.sqrt! No doubts on those anymore, yay!

Gotta practice again and again even if I know it now.

Today's goal is understand math.ceil + math.log better!

Practiced for 30mins again, and this time I finally understood math.ceil! It was easy, just the opposite of math.floor 😅

However I don't understand math.log yet, I'll see tomorrow! I'm too tired to keep going.

I also learnt:

- triple quoted strings, had no idea it existed!
- abs()
- capitalize()
- count()
- find()
- join()

I'm so glad of these two hours of learning and practicing today! 🎉

That means seven hours and 15mins since I began learning Python! So happy!!

Oops I made a mistake, I meant an hour and 45mins today! Not two hours.

But the total number was correct tho 😸

I'm kinda proud of what I achieved today because I was in severe physical pain, but still managed to learn for such a long time!

Can't wait for tomorrow's lessons!!

I've been learning and practicing for an hour! Gonna sleep soon because I'm exhausted.

I've been practicing conditional statements and complex decisions a lot!

I seriously studied lists and now know how to use them! I was wondering about indexes, now I can use them too as I fully understood immediately!

I also learnt how to add, update and the del and remove() ways to delete any item in a list!

One step after the other ✨

I couldn't update it yesterday, but I learnt:

- or, += et -= operators
- while loops to avoid repeating lines of code (infinite loops too)

I've been practicing loops a lot, variables and assignment mostly.

Did all this for 30mins. Wish I could have done more but I wasn't feeling good physically.

Today, I've been learning a lot:

- stopping while loops, controlling the times a while loop repeats its code
- new strings stuff such as quotes
- how to create a tuple, accessing its data and delete an entire tuple
- create a dictionary, access its data, updating it (also got how to add a new key-value pair), deleting data in a dictionary, and the clear() function

Practiced loops, strings and range () mostly.

Worked 1h20!

2nd part ⬇️🥰

Today, it's my Python learning journey's first week anniversary!

I've been working for over ten hours so far, without counting my research and readings.

And, I'm probably the first one to be surprised but... Here we are!

I just received my first Python diploma!!
Got 11 good answers out of 12! So that means 91% was correct!

I'm really happy I did so well! 🤩

(Certificate ID and signatures are hidden for privacy reasons)

I chose my next course!

Before getting to Flask and Django, I'm learning the differences between Python 2 and 3.

I'll see the basics again in this course, can't be bad at all!

At the same time, I'm trying to make my laptop work to be able to start my first projects on my own!

Sounds fun 😁

I started the course I mentioned!

I did ten minutes only because I spent all the afternoon on my laptop to make it usable again. And it worked!

So I downloaded PyCharm and Godot. Tried PyGame but failed unfortunately and didn't try again because I was exhausted of softwares for today lol, I'll do it tomorrow.

Then I decided to watch a YouTube tuto on how to create a Pong game for 45mins, and it will be my first project.

I'll start tomorrow!

I was too tired to update yesterday, but I spent around 3 hours learning and practicing \n, \tab, carriage return, concatenation, string operations, arithmetic operators, functions (also learnt about the anonymous one and the absolute value).

Also worked on lists and loops again, it seems like I'm all set with that!

I've been playing with PyCharm for 5 hours, I'm so glad it runs on my laptop!

About my first project ⬇️

As I told you before, for my 1st project I just followed a YT tuto about Pong game.

I wrote it line by line. It was really funny because some mistakes made really weird stuff, but it was great correcting myself. I know what kind of mistakes I make the most atm, that's a good start!

The game is almost done, just gotta fix the scoring mechanism today and add new features alone to train and improve it.

I'll show you once it's done! 😊

Haven't been able to practice yesterday, I was so sad about it.

But today, I've been practicing variables, lists, tuples for an hour and... I just finished the Python 3 course!

Got 100% correct at the exam, this time it's a Certificate of Excellence! So happy 🎉

It's my second Python diploma, but even if both are almost the same, this one was a bit more focused on Python 3 and has the excellence mention, so that's rlly nice! 

Today, I've been able to practice for two hours.

I wanted to do more but my chronic illnesses said no, unfortunately...

I've been learning:
- classes
- type casting
- split() and replace()
- local/global

And I've mostly been practicing in-place operators and functions! Return, lists in functions, loops in functions, conditions in functions...

So that was nice! 

@testoceratops whaaat. amazing!
@alinanorakari I can't believe it omg, the first one says certificate of completion and this one excellence whaaat I started less than two weeks ago and I'm all set with the fundamentals that much?? Never thought I'd accomplish that so soon 🥺
@testoceratops you put a lot of time and effort in and it shows

@alinanorakari Thank you so much for your support, as always!

Yes I really do as much as I can, like on the 25th 8 hours in a day. That was amazing, I truly love programming!

@testoceratops I can tell, and I'm celebrating it! 
@alinanorakari You're so sweet thanks a lot 💙 gonna celebrate too!!
@testoceratops hey, nicely done! You're picking this up quickly!
It's great that you recognize the errors you usually make; that's actually a lot more important than not making them.
Keep it up!

@silvermoon82 Thank you so much for your words Eddie!!

Yes I'm really glad I recognize it, so I'm more careful with it and it helps!

💙

@testoceratops It seems you're talented at this stuff. You have great potential.
@LunaDragofelis Thank you so so much Luna!! 💙 I really hope so because I love it, it became one of my most important special interest in less than two weeks, it's almost necessary to me now
@testoceratops omg ur doing awesome!
@arcade Thank you so much for your support!! I'm so happy 
@testoceratops :3 You're def gonna be able to make that game!
@arcade I truly hope so 🤩 the most difficult part is in probably going to be the graphics since I'm really bad at drawing and never did on a computer yet...
@testoceratops I would be glad to help with anything, I'm vaugly-ok-ish at drawing and 3d graphics!
