397 Do You Expect People To Be Like You? - Simple Programmer Podcast
11/03/2017 Duración: 13minRecently I received a very interesting question from a viewer of this channel. In that question, he said that he viewed me as a perfectionist and that I treated myself quite rough. He asked then if I did this to other people as well.

386 The Top 10 Books To Learn Python - Simple Programmer Podcast
28/02/2017 Duración: 16minHave you ever wondered what are the best books to learn Python? "Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for Rapid Application Development, as well as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together. Python's simple, easy to learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of program maintenance. Python supports modules and packages, which encourages program modularity and code reuse. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are available in source or binary form without charge for all major platforms, and can be freely distributed.

381 Programming Framework: Which Ones To Learn? - Simple Programmer Podcast
23/02/2017 Duración: 12minIf you're a software developer I doubt you'll ever be able to learn everything that software developer has to offer.
