Is this top link the one you said in the introduction would be in the description? Because that has 15 other links but none that resemble the description... Also, this one leads to some sort of data collection form, not the notes.

"Just to make things realistic" earned my subscription. I'm beginning to learn python to bolster my IT skills and you seem like a cool guy to learn from

[@algiffaryriony]

I'm not a beginner in Python, yet I really appreciate that you summarized the most important tips and still give a concise explanation and context for each of them. Great video, I wish this video exists when I was starting out learning Python.

[@mad1337nes]

Caleb is actually the GOAT at teaching, never been disappointed a single second of his videos.

[@MichaelDude12345]

I am still new to programming and have come from learning java for about 6 months; python has had me so freaking confused while trying to do some coding problems with lists. Because I didn't realize (07:48) that when I was assigning a new list to be equal to an old list, and then appending new values to the new list, it was also modifying my original list. This left me with so many issues trying to iterate through a for loop and generally do some basic stuff with these two lists (my math was thrown off since the two lists were exactly the same length and I didn't realize why that was). I thought I was going kinda crazy to be honest, because I have not had formal training with Python and am only about a week into learning the language. Thank you for this video, it really helped me understand one of the fundamental differences between Python and Java that I couldn't wrap my head around originally.

[@TheTraveler33]

WOW! I was 1 min 15 seconds into this video before I declared it SO good that I just downloaded a copy. This will save A LOT of time compared to how the vast majority of people on youtube teaching python are saying to do it. I rarely subscribe to channels. Only about 7 right now. This channel just became number 8 and the first one concerning coding! I am blown away.

[@bapbap6682]

So we’re all just gonna ignore the 1:30 “Hoo I’m hungry” thing?

[@abubalo]

He just need to some syntax and he'd we be fine.

[@attackeight]

The -1 index for lists is so helpful! Makes my life simpler. Thanks for the awesome video!

[@FlamencoDeniz]

30:42 I don't quite get the difference between the two outputs, where the second one supposed to be ordered? I understand set removes tje duplicates but I don't see how adding list to the statement changes the output

[@dontbetoxic4387]

He converts it from a set to a list

[@CodyHoskin]

This is amazing! You are a great teacher man.

[@Alessandroale74]

I guess you will publish soon the remaining 51-100 tips too, right ? Thanks.

[@sebastus27]

what do you recommend for me to develop my logic in writing code, for example if I have to arrange an increasing array or solve a problem that the Hanoi towers are difficult for me. Please Caleb give me some advice on where to start. Thank you!

[@frambuella]

Yo man, this was a great video for those of us just starting to learn python! So many tips that are genuinely useful!

[@ninavanleeuwen1183]

thank you. I really enjoyed the speed at which you explain and your examples are very clear!

[@ttrev007]

the bankers rounding of round() is really good to know. i didn't even know their were different standards for rounding.

[@primusnocturn]

Nice. Some of them obvious some really useful

[@elnetini]

I'm so glad I came across this early in my Python journey. Thabk you!

[@PouriyaJamshidi]

Awesome Stuff! Thank you Could you do a tutorial on decorators and properties?

[@perinoveriza1658]

Brother Caleb is the best teacher 👍

[@someonesomewhere2966]

Hello Caleb , love ur vids 🙌 I just wanna ask u smth , I've finished with the basics of Python and I'm currently solving some examples but idk wut to do next..any advice ?

[@someonesomewhere2966]

@@uhmmm2110 Thank you 🙌 will do

[@xurshidkarimov9815]

last trick: a = [[1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7,8,9]] a = sum(a, [ ]) print(a)

[@durgeshkshirsagar116]

What's the font you have used in editor?

[@the-white-fang]

It would have been really helpful if it included a little more advanced stuff like maps, decorators, class-factory etc.

[@codebreakthrough]

I’m considering a part two. The original goal was 100 tips and tricks but I ran out of time :)

[@the-white-fang]

@@codebreakthrough great I'm looking forward to it. :)

[@JurajBatoska]

Perfect ! Thanks a lot !

[@pgallovich]

Love all your tutorials! Thanks so much! I can't wait to get started in the Python Bootcamp.

[@Tony0Green]

Ohh I'm hungry 😂 Love the video, thank you for the tips!

[@mixme8655]

Thank you sir I am a beginner in python😊

[@ramkumarkumar9305]

Can you guide me to create tool in phyton. It would be helpful for me. I am a beginner for phyton but i need to create a tool in 10 days i am willing to learn quick with clarity

[@LeHalazoone]

Please can you let me know if data scientist and ML jobs will desapear with the nocode low programing and with ai tools ? Thanks in advance

[@ChrisCox-wv7oo]

No, they won't.

[@LeHalazoone]

@@ChrisCox-wv7oo thanks for answering

[@michalwojdat9763]

What theme is that ?

"Ohhh... I'm hungry!" :D 1:29

muy util!!! muchas gracias!

the “realistic” part 🥲🤌🏻🤣

Very helpful

[@avjjbg23725]

i watch all of your videos, have you ever thought about getting a silent mouse/keyboard?

[@duyd8086]

how did you get nice color fonts?

[@ChrisCox-wv7oo]

Syntax highlighting

[@oooo0O0oooo]

Thanks

[@KowboyUSA]

C++ on the back burner. Python back to the front.

[@fentonmsu]

Amazing

[@Mersipher]

Who would down vote this? What a dill hole. Caleb didn't have to share any of this. But he did. Be appreciative that he's took these tips from his experience working with python.

[@kaleabwoldemariam4288]

May be he didn't like the way he spoke humorlessly. Good tips.

[@Bigblackninja5]

Some people accidentally press it also

I also do videos about programming!😁

Please share the notebook

[@jamiegreig9699]

Of course it's called banker's rounding lol

[@SaveCount-bh8tp]

Thanks but somme Times i think u should let us download the video

[@minnuzamir5458]

great

[@yk4993]

5**5 isn't a trick! Beside that, a very nice video

[@serg3y]

Python is a bit wierd.

[@allanhenriques2694]

actually assignment on the same line doesn't work the same way such as if you did: a=b b=a vs a,b=b,a two different results

[@rancoxu]

That was really awkward!

[@estelisarva3854]

Thank you, I love you, but I am a cat person :)

Commenting this so that when someone likes this comment i will be back here to revise this.

[@loveanimals-0197]

How come you're doing a bootcamp on Python but don't even know the right way to pronounce Python? It's not named after the snake, but the British comedy group Monty Python. Learn that first.

[@codebreakthrough]

? I know this lol

[@codebreakthrough]

It’s actually the first thing I say in the bootcamp. So not sure how you’re getting this impression.

[@loveanimals-0197]

@@codebreakthrough Why are you mispronouncing it then?

[@codebreakthrough]

I’ve never heard it pronounced any other way than how I’ve said it. There must be many ways to pronounce it and I don’t believe it’s worth fighting over :)

[@geekyprogrammer4831]

@Love Animals-01 I am a big criticizer on social media but this guy - Caleb Curry is 100% genuine! I found his teachings way more effective and fun compared to the courses on eDX and Coursera. Instead of picking his flaws, you should be more thankful he is giving us 100+ hours of content for free! Bootcamp is one of the ways we can show how thankful we are to him and also on the other hand gain knowledge and skills from it that will allow us to gain edge in the software development world!
