    Anyone code in Python?

    Gonna take on a personal project.

    The kid is learning it in High School so I am going to pick his brain.

    So far from what I have seen, there is an awful lot of coding to do stupid stuff like make frames. Are there shortcuts? Programs that will help write what I need to do?

    TIA

    Isn't it out-dated? Just asking. I'm not a code guy.

    I do not, but my BIL just told me to learn as it is what all his engineer buddys use to code for automated stuff with their servers/routers, etc. He's a major code monkey, knows his stuff.

    If you find anything cool and easy to learn from, please post here! I will do the same if I ever have time for this.

    So far, I have learned that Python is used way more than people think.

    It might be worth my time to learn it, if I can find the time...which seems to be missing lately.

    I knew it was mentioned around here somewhere before.

    I have not really looked at the programming yet but I have a lot of time off around this time of the year so I will dig into it.

    It seems like it's highly desirable among potential employers. I think you would need to be somewhat good with this if you worked at a large company where a lot of things are automated.

    No problem there. I want to learn it for personal reasons so I don't need to be good.

    I'm sure I will be terrible at it. I've tried learning both Java and C++ in the past and failed miserably at both. Programming is the one thing I have always had trouble learning. Hopefully this time around it won't be so bad.
