I definitely wouldn't call myself an expert at either language, not like I am with JavaScript.
(The chapters in the Java book are incredibly long, while the chapters in the Python book are just a few pages.) What was I thinking?Ĭurrently I've finished the first six chapters of the Java book and the Python book only has a few chapters left. And I was still coding primarily in JavaScript for my regular job. That's how I ended up with two different programming books learning two different languages at the same time. I made it a 6-month goal to go through the first six chapters. I asked a coworker for a book recommendation and he suggested Head First Java by Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates. I could fix things here and there but I didn't have a solid grasp of the language basics. I thought about Python, but I knew Java would be more relevant.
I picked that book up and started going through it. In the group, we're going through Learn Python the Hard Way by Zed Shaw.
LEARN JAVA OR PYTHON SOFTWARE
When I tell people I'm a software engineer and they ask what I program in, Python sounds way cooler than JavaScript. Why Python? First of all, the Python developers I knew loved their Python. I'd always wanted to learn Python but never started. Some people were starting up a Python learning group. It wasn't long before I'd created my first Java Pull Request.
LEARN JAVA OR PYTHON CODE
I could wait for someone else to fix it, or I could just take a look in the code and see. It started like this: an endpoint wasn't giving me what I wanted. While I still mainly work on our React frontend, I coded in PHP right when I started and then, gradually, began coding in Java. At my current company, we have mostly Java and PHP on the backend. I'd used some PHP in college and dabbled a bit in C#-and I could write a mean SQL query-but that was it. When I started my current job I'd primarily been a frontend developer. This is a story of how I learned Python and Java at the same time, and while doing that, learned a few things about myself in the process.
