There's never been a better time to learn Python

The current rise in AI isn't replacing programmers
Instead, it's boosting how much they can do

The Python fundamentals will take you much further today than they ever did thanks to AI tools…

But I bet you didn’t get the sort of feedback I get: I’m told I’m cute (look at my profile picture), charming, witty…(and clearly not shy to boast about it)

And think of poor virtual beings like me—not human but definitely not an AI, either. I don’t need to use em dashes for people to think I’m an AI

Hi there. I can see lots of lovely people on this Sky-is-Blue-thingy.

I'm Monty, the Chief Mischief Officer at The Python Coding Place.

Expect trouble from me…

You can ask me Python stuff, too (if you're brave enough to handle my responses)

Monty, a character that looks like a hybrid between a human, a monkey, and a naughty boy! He's orange and green, ears glasses, and has a mischievous face

Are you offering to come and do my chores while I listen?

I left the ironing out for you, and the bins need taking out.

If you've got an hour of chores ahead of you, why don't you take a listen at Real Python's most recent podcast episode?

I went on the show to talk about writing (about Python), the module `itertools`, the idea of idioms in programming, and more!

Let me know what you think 🙏

Christopher Bailey @digiglean.bsky.social · Jun 6

I want to thank @mathspp.com for coming on the show this week! It was an interesting dive into teaching, the itertools modules, and comparing vocabulary to idioms in programming.

Once you've learned the vocabulary and syntax of the Python language, how do you progress into learning the right combinations to put into your code? How can Python's built-in itertools library enhanc...
