Only decided to learn Python recently and couldn't believe I stumbled on this! And don't know what to say except to thank you for this really valuable resource. You are an absolute saint and don't know how else to thank you. With gratitude from the UK.

I almost feel embarrassed for not paying for this video....thank you!when I grow up I wanna program like Tim!😀

This is seriously the best way for me to learn. By actually doing projects instead of sitting through dry tutorials that don't give actual examples of where and why things would be used. I'm finding that as I go through each project, I'm coming up with things I want to add (such as extended stats at the end of the Rock, Paper, Scissors game) and I'm actually able to write my own code to do so. I feel like I'm really learning shit instead of memorizing for the sake of memorizing.

Hey everyone if you came here before watching this video, I can assure you that this video is ultra nice making your understanding of Python very very strong, literally this video gives you a powerful mind for building complex logic, GOOD LUCK, PROCEED WITH THAT!

I have subscribed to your channel. I have started watching a number of Python RU-vid tutorials, that I have not yet finished, just to get a basis for comparison, in teachers and in content. I must say, comparatively, that I really like, value and appreciate your teaching style. Your videos present well visually, as well as in your spoken manner. The fact that the font text size is easily visible and readable, is definitely a win for my aging eyes. The fact that your font size is easily discernable, really sets you apart from the competition. Thank you so much for the gift of your channel.

Reallyyy you are the best tech youtuber here... i struggled of learning python but your videos helped me a lot. thanks for being here, tim

As a complete beginner, this video is a banger 👀, Now this is a real 9 hrs long roadmap video from beginner to Advance😂 python. A practical one🔥☠️

Thanks for this video! I noticed that there is a bug in the rock paper scissors game! If you pick the same thing as the computer, then it will give the computer a win. However, for anyone who reads this, you can fix it by adding elif user_input == computer_pick: print("You and the computer tied!") continue before the else statement.

Thank you so much, I have so much free time right now. Finished my finals and was bored af, good thing you uploaded this video. I'll practice them, and get ahead in new projects.

Great work! And i want to add by 53:45 rock-scissors-paper game you actually have one more if statement that controls if user and computer chooses same thing.

I just started yesterday python. I was watching lot of videos but today I saw your video. So easy to understand. Anyone can watch your video. Thanks for your hard work. 😊😊😊

I love this gem of a video! You picked projects that have entertainment value when you complete them, and you walk us through, so we can practice coding efficiently. Genuine thanks man.

I'd like to see something else than python but still, I am beyond impressed and grateful. Thanks Tim, your videos always get me excited to code. ❤️

يا جماعه بجد انا مشيت معاه تلات اربع الكورس و الراجل ده جامد جدا و شرحه حلو خالص و يستحق تتابع و الي موافقني بحط ليك

Thank you very much sir. In fact, this lesson has benefited us. You are great. I wish you more brilliance and success.

The color can be returned from the color function - it comes back as a Tuple like ('green', 'green') so referenced by winnerColor = winnerColor[0]. This is useful so you can shuffle the turtle list each loop so the left most turtle dosent always have the advantage of jumping first. Nice tutorial.

This is a very good video. Finally I can do something from all difficulty levels and learn more about Python. Thank you.

Thanks Tim for such an informative and useful video! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I am currently studying cybersecurity. The addition of python programming to my clause will greatly be beneficial. You and other youtube content creators who make these tutorials available and, for free, are invaluable. Thank you on behalf of humanity.

Amazing content, Tim. You fellow Pythonista here.

Just started today with visual studio and came across your channel, followed along with the quiz programme. works perfect thanks so much, and you explained it so well. really enjoyed it and following along with you. looking forward to the rest of your 9 hour course, cheers 🙂

Thanks Tim. Will definitely check it out and try out the projects which interests me. Thanks again

3:03:18 No need for the third print() in line 46, just remove the "end" part from the print in line 44. This way you are first suppressing the new line in the last column and then you are enforcing it.

In rock paper scissors if you get a tie with the computer you lose but your video is so helpful and teach us so much that you can fix it with 6 lines of coding. Thank you so much for this guide!!

thanks Tim! i am working on my own project... but i like how much you work for the videos!!

In your second example poject, random number guesser, it does not work if we enter a negative number. Looks like isdigit() function returns False if we enter the negative number as it is treated as a string. For anybody trying to make it work can use lstrip() function. So the condition part of the statement looks like if top_of_range.lstrip("-").isdigit(): This should do the trick. But anyway a great video. Keep it up🥳

in the slot machine project, the nested if statement that checks if the amount is negative is useless since it will never get used, cause isdigit function doesn't recognize negative nymbers as digits so if we enter a negative numver the if statement that checks if it's a digit won't run, thus the nested if statement that checks if it's negative won't run either so it's preffered to write it as: def deposit(): while True: amount = input("How much would you like to deposit: ") if amount.isdigit(): amount = int(amount) break elif amount.replace("-","").isdigit(): amount = int(amount) amount *=-1 break else: print("enter a valid number") return amount this way using the replace function we remove the - from amount in case it existed and check if it's a digit so if it is a negative digit it will make a copy without - then it'll be recognized as a digit then we turn it positive using amount *= -1

50:01 If you are having issues with Expected ":" Pylance, I know that is frustrating but it is literally telling you to go ahead and put a : after "Scissors" so for example look below if user_input == "Rock" and computer_pick == "Scissors": Instead of if user_input == "Rock" and computer_pick == "Scissors" I know his webcam is in the way and hopefully this helps someone out. Great video TechWithTim I am getting more familiar with this software cause of you!

It's an amazing video. Easy to understand .He directly heads into the content what we need . Explained well while showing how to code .

Love from India bro The clarity in your concepts is amazing . It was super fun and enlightening watching you . I got crystal clear as i watched project 1 and 2

Thanks for putting this together. Getting my bearings with Python and looking for examples and how they were constructed, so this is helpful! Feedback as I watch though... Project #3 -- Example of insufficient testing! :) As previously pointed out, you missed the case of throwing the same thing as the computer. You can put in a test for "if user_input == computer_guess:" that mentions the tie to the user before a continue, with no scores being incremented.

The bear was so sad and thanked the Tim. They lived gently ever after.

Before watching the video, just want to say thank you to Tim for such massive work! 9 hrs video! Truly be thankful :)

Enjoyed the video and learned a lot, Tim. Forever Grateful to you.😌

Tim, i am a complete beginner and i cant even start my own projects… thanks Tim your videos are real bangers. 🎉

Best Teacher on youtube for Projects.

i'm learning python by following this step by step, thank you for your hard work its very fun and highly educational

The reason random.randrange(1, 10) will only generate a random number btwn 1 and 9 is b/c of indexing. In a list of numbers such as [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]. The list has 10 elements, but Python indexing begins at 0. This is 'why' element 10 will not be generated. 10 is exclusive b/c at element 10 we are at index 9. Element/Index relationship: 1 = 0, 2 = 1, 3 = 2, 4 = 3, 5 = 4, 6 = 5, 7 = 6, 8 = 7, 9 = 8, 10 = 9. Using indexing we can't get to element 10. Good vid!

I dont know what to say but this will help me alot cause just learning isn't sufficient having practical knowledge is imp

Thank you very much in spending time in making this video, Tim. Kudos to you!!!

Currently on day 8 and I am loving these ❤❤

Wow - this is amazing! Thanks a ton! I shall indeed save this link so I may come back to it repeatedly (after I've finished my Unreal Engine learning I've recently started)

Bro? You literally created a whole entire paid 10 hour online course for free in one video just “because” You are actually a legend. Great teacher!

Thank you very much for this man, you put too much effort into the videos 🙏🙏🙏

It’s fun seeing these projects and thinking of improvements I can make to them. Maybe I can be a programmer.

The best teacher in the RU-vid for python,, your efforts are highly appreciated 🙏❤️

Just a suggestion. Explain your question with written text exactly what to do. Because if one wants to solve this on their own first then it will be helpful for them. Anyway you are doing awesome stuff. Please continue doing.

Bro the best and awaited video from your channel, I Thank you for sharing your valuable information 🙏

Great video, in the first project, I wanted to go a bit further so I used chatGPT so that now my last question is how much battery your computer has, and it is working. I aslo tried to add the score-system myself and it worked and then i saw the rest of the video and it was the exact same thing I did.

Saving this for the weekend, a must see video it is!

Thanks Tim for your time and this video is really good!

Finally! Thank you Tim. You are my GOTO to find answers.

New coder here, looks good. Thanks

This guy is a legend. I've done the shortest path finder a longggg time ago. I was looking for similar projects and came across this gem

Great Video Tim, thanks for putting the effort to make such a good content!! =)

Thank you Tim ! You really make sense of what coding can be by showing examples most of us wish we could find as beginners! Imo you translate the language so effectively and efficiently!

This is the kind of video I have been looking for ❤❤❤❤ thanks Tim. Subscribed😊😊😊

You can use this same project to introduce lists and reusable code functions to beginners where the questions and correct answers are stored in two lists, and one function that poses the question and checks the answer based on index passed in and then can give the score percentage based on num correct vs array length. Just a thought. Less code, and no magic numbers😊 I am learning python but coded professionally in other languages so it jumped out at me. Edit: I tried this out using lists and one while loop and it's 15 lines of code for unlimited questions and answers, it keeps score then figures percentage of correct using the score and list length. Neat. Thanks for your videos Tim I'm learning python pretty quick.

Thank you for making programming so awesome and interesting. I would do programming for the rest of my life because of tutorials like this. Keep it up bro, and hope one day we can work together!

Thanks Tim, great content. Keep it up

Finally found the video to recommend to every beginner who asks for a python roadmap

Tim, thanks for teaching us plebs Python. I'm retired but I need to keep my mind active, don't do Sudoku but I find coding stimulating. One question what happens after one has created say a program using Python? I mean it has to go somewhere, it has to be used in someway. For example, say I've created a staff roster for a small business how do they use it? Just interested.

iam data engineering enthusiast and I wanted to start with python and one o my friend recommended your channel - I am glad I'm watching your videos to be a good python programmer - A big thank you from all of us who view your videos - YOUU ARE GOD SENT :)

As a beginner in Python my suggestion is You can use int(input("for input in random numbers project " )) 25:54 For better understanding

There is no words exist that would tell you how much i appreciate what you are doing for us!

Great job Tim! This should help me refresh and enhance my skills in Py. Thank you so much.

i love your content bro , keep going :)

Appreciate the tutorial! I would albo be so grateful if u could do one video like from "Advanced to Master" including Computer Vision, Object Detection and Machine Learning concepts, these things might be a bit confusing and explanation like this tutorial would be damn GOD LIKE useful

I find your video very helpful. I've learned a lot about programming and English from it.

This channel is truly awesome. Amazing, high-quality educational videos.

Love these tutorials. I am currently on the wpm typing test and am just thrown off by the curses module. I saw this tutorial as an opportunity to start diving into some python documentation to really get a good understanding of how to read and learn python libraries but the documentation of this library is so different than this tutorial. Like, if I stumbled across this library and tried to create this code on my own, what is being discussed seems far from what the documentation online shows for examples. Maybe I am just too new to this but it makes me wonder how I would stumble across libraries in the future and utilize them in this manner.

On the third rock-paper-scissors project there is a small flaw. Based on permutations and combinations the number of possibilities to occur is 9. We've considered 6 of them, the other 3 possibilities are draws, where both the computer and the user picks the same object. So here, the winning chances of the computer is quite high. Other than that so far it has been really helpful, thankyou soo much❤

Awesome video Tim this really helps need to learn to code again after 10yrs😂 of not coding at all

Nice tutorial! I loved the python automation/scripting project the most. Its much easier to do it in Python than bash lol

Tim is good at storytelling ;)

Amazing video! Thank you! Can you please make a video and show us how to work with least amount of mouse use, so we can start working with right kind of habits on our way to become pro?! God Bless!

For the WPM Typing Test, I had to use key 127 for it to work on my mac. For others encountering this problem on their machines as well, here's how it looks like: if ord(key) == 127: if len(current_text) > 0: current_text.pop() else: current_text.append(key)

this is exactly what i needed , big thanks to you !

hello world this is a bot comment

Suggestion:Project 3 should have a option for tie or draw Anyway This video is helping me a lot!❤❤

Your Project number #10 was even better than ChatGPT's one 200% better man!

This looks very interesting, 3 day holiday coming up, will try to complete all of them

9 HOURS of Python Projects - From Beginner to Advanced. Thanks

Hello Tim, Nice series of projects in Python. I've finished studying Python on my own with the book 'Python Crash Course 2nd Edition'. I've reached rock-paper-scissors now and I've changed a few things: I've added a variable ties, I've added an elif check if the computer_pick equals the user_input and then add 1 to ties, I also display the number of total games played and the number of tied games when the user quits the program. I'll be going to do all of these projects, so there may be another reaction in future. Good job, keep it up and all the best from Belgium --Philippe

Thank you so much for putting this together. This is amazing.

Thank you so much Tim was struggling on my python class

i think your videos are great and easy to follow and understand. You might not like this but i am sure you have probably heard it before, but you remind me of Sheldon on "The big bang theory!. You look a lot like him and you both are very smart!. Keep up the good work. I am a beginner learning python and you have taught me a lot. Thanks for the videos.

Thank you Tim for such an informative and useful video! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank so much sir. I was looking to make a python project that I can add into my resume 🎉

Thank you very much for this video 🙏 and i like your teaching techniques that is learning through the project making real bro that type of skill not having in many peoples thank you very much 😊

Really helpful and well made video!! keep up the good work g

Mega course for any intermediate....but i like the way you interact with your keyboard...I wonder your typing speed per minute...X wpm. Find X in wpm😂😂😂....Love your work team

you forgot to add a rock-rock tie type situation for the rock paper scissors game :)

FYI: In the Rock Paper Scissors game you were missing one piece of logic. You check if the user wins, and if not, you automatically make the computer win...but you forgot about ties! Now all the ties become wins for the computer. So one extra elif to check if the picks are the same would solve it.

Thanks Tim. Love Phyton. I hope I can find something in here to advance the game I created in my coding class.

Thanks!

Please do more videos like this, You are the best!!!

Love you Tim, great contents
