you don't need that shit to learn python.

Well I need structure to learn shit. I have no more passion in life and it's hard to stay motivated anymore. I need classes of some sort to hold me accountable.

That's not really a cert, it's just a participation trophy.

>>817765

If you need to hand people money to stay motivated, you aren't gonna make it.

>Well I need structure to learn shit

Sounds like a personal problem and honestly, if that's really true you aren't going to be very good at this. Either get the fuck over it or give up now.

NO

Honestly, if I saw that on a resume I think it would carry negative weight. It looks like something Pajeet would do.

>giving tech support to chrome retards

I actually think the guides and stuff on Python's site are pretty good. I don't remember which I used, though. I'm like you as well OP. It's hard for me to stick to something. All I did was force myself to do 1 chapter a day. It was slow, but it worked for me.

Programming certs are pretty much worthless. What you need is a portfolio of projects to show you can program. Start writing stuff and put it on shithub.

No one as unmotivated as you will ever get anywhere in this field. Save your money.

>not just spending the money on textbooks

>or better yet, spend the money on food and pirate the textbooks

Kids this days don't know what a PDF is.

I'd like to mention one exception to my previous post:

Java certs aren't worthless IF you assume that Java itself isn't. Any other programming cert is worthless, and will likely get your CV/resume sent to the circular file if you don't have a portfolio to back it up. A programming cert and a programming portfolio is worth the portfolio.

A reference to rule of acquisition #109?

Try getting an apartment and a girlfriend then learning this shit.

I'll try that then since you understand where I'm coming from. Thanks anon.

Why do I need a gf?

>>817959

Because if you're alone in that tiny cramped vermin-infested apartment your life will be stuck in a routine of go to work come home go to work and never get anything done. You need someone to hold you accountable.

>>817759 (OP)

> Is there a better way/place to learn it?

read a book, work on problems

>>817960

I disagree. We as men do not NEED women. What you need is strong work ethic. Find something you enjoy and do it. If you need to pay money for someone to force you, then you probably don't have a passion for it.

>>817970

Fuck off kike tbh

>>817960

What if I do it in a tiny cramped vermin-infested room with a mother constantly threatening tot kick me out??

>>818132

You know she never actually will so you not only hate yourself for your lack of motivation but also feel guilty. If you have a girlfriend in that room the dynamic might change for the better, but if she has kids of her own there might not be enough space.

>>818159

idk I already got kicked out once

Try modafinil

You can contribute to open-source programs without spending $200. Then you'll get your name in credits, and you can put that on your resume. Just look for a project that has bugs that need fixed, or features added, that you can do.

Whats a PDF? a language?

Networking shit needs certs and programming shit needs portfolio.

If you don't know how to pirate shit you should not be a programmer.
