The Going on's

Hi all
during coding I decided to brake for a while, as something continually frustrating me I took a screen shot to show my issue;
if it isn't obvious I lost marks for just on silly spelling mistake,(my bad) this has differently given me some new perspectives and respect for not only the Grok program but coding itself, as I can now see that coding is more prices than that what I ever would have expected, I have differently learnt from my mistake

5 stages of python programing

Ok so,

As the Grok Learning progress into week 2 -it gets harder-
Although this is not such a shock I have started to notice the symptoms of the 5 stages of python programming, and I can’t help but to see them on me
1. Denial
As the user sees the hard code he first goes into denial, the user rejects the code as being hard and tries to keep tackling the problem
2. Anger
Then, user finally becomes a pit full of rage yelling profanities at his syntax or making loud noses at her incorrect results
3 Talking to the computer
Subsequently the user starts to talk to the computer (assuming it doesn't talk back) and begs with all their might for their code to work the even bargain with their machine
4. Depression
Next, the user goes into a spiral of depression and ends up in pit full of tissues, useless code and chocolate; lots of chocolate
5. Acceptance  
Lastly, our poor user now accepts his fate, the very tough code has beaten him and they are ready to accept this, he moves onto something else "maybe a computer game" says the nerd

Grock Learning Code for Python

Hi all,
The Grok learning code for Python started today; and I was fortune enough to take part in the intermediate course.
Although I have only just started the interface for the coding was not only confusing in practical terms but also poorly colour coordinated.
The program also took too long to compile the code and then tell me that I had a syntax error (Grock teaches you Python 2 instead of Python for some reason) this was far worst then the preview teaching site Codecademy for Python 3 which only took 1 second to computer the code.
The idea of using many programs to learn and community in the same task at the same time is a good one, don’t get me wrong it's just the details somebody needs to spend time doing cutting corners makes the end solution not worse but rather leaving the user unsatisfied in the knowledge somebody could have done a better job.
