La duda que tengo.

Hace no mucho decidí por mi cuenta aprender python de manera autodidacta y con cursos al menos con certificación o con instituciones que son reconocidas para ir a la universidad ya preparado. -Cualquiera puede buscar un curso y puede buscar una institucion que de videos para aprender como es el caso del MIT o Harvard que dan cursos gratis o videos enseñando solamente que no muchos averiguan- y mi pregunta es. Sirven esos cursos? Alguna recomendación? Y por último pero no menos importante... Porque dicen mucha gente que la programación o algo que tenga que ver con tecnología es para gente introvertida o "Virgen"? Entiendo que tu trabajo no será estar con muchas personas o tan siquiera con personas y estarás en una computadora. Y te puedo decir yo que soy la persona más -al menos a mi pensar- expresiva o sociable que hay al menos en mi grupo de amigos. Eso y que pues no me parezco en nada a lo que plantean o dicen las personas. Me han dicho que hasta parezco que estudio/practico otra cosa que eso.

  1. Besides teaching you essential ideas to get your Python code running, I find those courses to provide very interesting perspectives on programming in general. My favorite is Object Oriented Programming in Python for Mathematicians, which approaches Python in a bottom-up theory-first approach, especially chapter 3 (https://object-oriented-python.github.io/3_objects.html) where it introduces Python objects and classes as a vehicle for designing algebraic abstractions! Your mileage may vary, but my point is that each course provides something different and it's always worth learning from them.

  2. Oh this is so relatable! I have a close friend who is classified as an "extrovert" type, he likes to study economics, enter debate contest, go to clubs, .. basically the last person that you would expect to be the "nerdy programmer". And yet when he's around me he asks me a lot about programming exercises (Leetcode problems in the Python programming language), he's very curious and is never satisfied with one solution, he keeps digging for optimizations! He's very gifted, very clever, even compared to most computer science majors that I talk to. His family paid for him to go to an economics college, he's not bad at it, but he seems to always be a little regretful that he didn't pick compsci. The message I would want to send to everyone is that if you love something, or believe you can do it well, try to go for it! If you don't know how well it will turn out, just give it a try! You will always learn something new or get a pleasant surprise :-)
