Programming is too abstract and I'm getting frustrated... 😠
https://dbader.org/python-tricks ► Learn how to write "developer style" Python, step-by-step
Discussing a long—but interesting—question from a YouTube commenter:
"Hello Dan, I am starting to learn Python and I am still learning the syntax and functions classes etc. My problem with any kind of programming is that no one really says how it is done. For example: a login page has to be made for a website. OK, you make a program that wants the user input and then checks the db if the user is registered, if yes the user can click away on the website. How does this process go on, who implements all that on the website, on the server, who does the design for the page and implement your small login program? Do you NEED to know all that stuff? I had the idea to make a small GUI with Python where you can see the average weather for past 5 years for each month for my region. That is not a really big problem for a intermediate level programmer. But, do I also need to know how the sensors give input to my program so I have automated temperature stored in a list for further use? If yes, then I have to learn electrical circuits of that sensor or a system and all this systems are different. So in basic, what I am trying to say is am I useful at all without the 15 years of experience in all that, not just writing the code? Why is no one showing a complete workflow of a project, why does it have to be so abstract? When a person showed me how to manipulate a CNC machine as a user it is very simple, but programming is so abstract. In all honesty, I have no idea what you guys are doing as a programmer and how and if you are in a team how the work is split. All the learning process for a syntax is clear, there are rules and you just have to remember them, like a foreign language. But no one wants to show what they actually do with it. People talk about programming like theory. Its like real life math that solves problems and its 99% of math that is used and a 1% high class theoretica
