I am convinced... Just shows to prove that you need to do a lot of research before buying or else there is a high chance of a major rip off. With a budget of $2000, I just build the following system on newegg-
intel i5 2500k
evga gtx 570 1280mb x2 (Lifetime warranty included for evga)
Two Asus 23.6 inch monitors
corsair hx850 modular and gold certified
asus p8z68 motherboard
g.skill ripjaws 16gb
windows 7 home premium
samsung spinpoint f3 1tb
coolermaster haf x case
a normal asus disk tray
Freebies - two free copies of Duke Nukem Forever (1 for each gtx 570)
Total : $1951.88
Just now realized that I forgot to add an SSD to the system. Could probably go down on that psu, it might be a little too much. Also, I know that these parts are a little older, but they are still effective as hell and I haven't really had time to examine the new intel chips and graphics cards of amd and nvidia. This is just an example of what I would probably do with $2000, not necessarily the system that OP would want!
I'm sure I could give you a build that's bad for two grand.
Hmm... challenge accepted
Rules:
1. Only 1 monitor.
2. No fancy led lights.
3. Nothing ridiculously overkill.
4. Nothing 3D
5. Tax and shipping is also not included.
With these rules, I doubt it would be possible to buy a system for $2000 that would be a bad build. Maybe the system would be highly overpriced, but probably not ridiculously bad hardware. I am not certain of this, I have never spent time trying to make a bad system worth $2000
Man, if I had a penny for everything wrong with this post, i'd have 5 cents.
You can max out any new game with a 1000 dollar build. Alienware is an absolutely horrible company. I can't tell if you're serious or joking.
LOL I must have phrased it wrong. Let me correct. You really can't do anything wrong, you can't have a bad system, with a budget of $2000. Unless you waste that nice stack of money on a crappy Alienware that is overpriced as hell and is probably worth less than half of it's retail value. Seems good?
Alright so following the tutorial, I do not delete the entire variable value for path, but instead just add
;C:/Python2.7 at the end right? And also, I don't put python 2.7, I write 2.7.3?
Not wanting to start up another thread for a probably stupid question, I came back here to have it answered. It seems like you all know what you are talking about
So, for these past five days, I have been taking first term finals in school and had to focus on that and leave learning python until I finished.
Anyway, I learned the basics of powershell, and now I am just starting with python itself. My first noob question has arrived! In Learning Python the hard way, exercise 0, the setup, there is something that confuses me. Maybe I already know what the program is, but have never known the name...
Here are the steps :
5. Run your Terminal program. It won't look like much. 6. In your Terminal program, run python.
So, I may have been using the terminal program already, but I am not sure what it is. How can I figure out what my terminal program is? Or better yet, what is a terminal program? Really sorry for the question if it is a stupid one that anyone could figure out..
Actually, I don't know about anyone else, but I found Python pretty hard to use...
IMHO, Java and C# are the easiest programming languages I have found, although I haven't tried every programming language XD
Well, it seems like you are special After asking around everywhere, most said that Python would be the easiest and best language to learn as a first. I wish I could learn C# or maybe even C++ without any problem as my first haha.
Also, back to my original post, I have been working with learning python the hard way, which was highly suggested. I just wanted to ask, is it necessary to learn the basics of powershell? I mean I already learned the basics, because the author suggested to do so, but is it really a necessity?
Along with what Satharis said, if you want some resources to help you along, I would recommend Learn Python The Hard Way and Invent With Python. You should also bookmark the official documentation so you can look at it whenever necessary. If you have a question about something, Stackoverflow is a good community site where you can ask questions and get answers from (sometimes) professionals in the subject.
Also, thank you so much for all the exercises. I guess that just answered my question on how to execute what I know. I will begin working on invent with python first and then learn python the hard way. Thank you guys so much!
Satharis, I realized that the best way to learn code is to code. Now the thing is, TheNewBoston did a pretty bad job, in my honest opinion, teaching me what I CAN code. I just don't know the power of Python, and don't really have an idea how I can get started. Once again, I am a noob programmer.
As the title suggests, I am looking for an effective way to learn Python. I am a noob programmer, and I have chosen python as my first programming language. I already am aware of the amount of time that will be put into learning this language, and any other language, in the matter. My uncle, who works for Google, has advised me to begin learning with a simple language such as Python, and then move onto Java, a more advanced language.
As of now, I have only watched the 43 videos at TheNewBoston which probably have only taught me the bare minimum of Python. The tutorials may even be good, but I feel as if what Bucky was teaching was too simple. I haven't just watched and forgotten everything, I practiced with what I have learned so far, and I am feeling comfortable.
If these videos are nowhere near enough, can you guys help guide me with what I should do next to further my knowledge? Are there other videos that may teach me more advanced things with this language? I am willing to buy any book that will help me learn more effectively, but my budget is at most $60.
TheNewBoston tutorials have helped wet my feet in programming, but they do not seem to be the most reliable sources. From what I have experienced so far, programming seems like a lot of fun, and I just want to keep learning more.
Besides this, when do you guys think would be an appropriate time to move onto another programming language?
