A Smarter Way to Learn Python: Learn it faster. Remember it longer.

I wasn't smart enough to learn a computer language like Python—until I got smart about how to learn it.I was smart enough to earn an honors degree in philosophy from Harvard, but an aptitude test told me to avoid computer programming. I'm sure it was right. But then I designed a learning system for myself that quadrupled my aptitude for learning computer languages. It worked so well for me that I've used it to teach coding to grandmothers, cab drivers, musicians, and 50,000 other newbies."Mark Myers' method of getting what can be...difficult information into a format that makes it exponentia...
