Learn a little bit of Python in 7 hours.

Well some people learn better by doing projects verses... this is a variable this is a float ect. They like to know how things interact and why.

Personally I also like to see an end product when learning instead of reading a textbook.

That's not what they said. There are plenty of hands-on training programmes out there.

All of these "learn x in y" are silly. You're basically scraping the surface. They sell a dream. "In 21 days you too can become a data scientist." "Become a software engineer in 10 days". "Learn python in 7 hours". If any course promises the same in a fraction of the time needed for something that takes years to do or requires a formal training, it misguides people at best and scams them at worst.

I don't know that the author of the video is making that claim, though. This reddit post is, but I don't know what Noomeyam's connection is to freecodecamp.org

I think his point was that you can’t “learn Python” in 7 hours, only just a little bit of it.

If this is what he meant then, I am in the wrong and I'm sorry. I read it as you cant learn python this way

I'm really sorry to bother anyone. I will watch this video tonight after work. But can anyone explain how python works? I'm 27 f and have a class this semester in python. When I open the program it looks like a black command screen. How do I use it?
