Hello and welcome to Python for Everybody.
First and foremost, thank you for taking my course,
I appreciate that. There are other Python courses out there,
and you've decided to take a chance on my course,
and I just want to say I appreciate that.
With that said, I have a couple of rules that can help you
ask questions better,
and the reason I'm bringing this up is because if you ask
a question, I want to give you a good answer in a timely
manner. So the first rule is, please write your questions
clearly. So ask what your question is,
but if it's about a certain problem, make sure you describe
what that problem is, or if it's about a certain piece of
code, make sure you reference what that certain code is.
The second rule is, if you are going to share code, please
make sure that the code is formatted.
If you format it, then I can simply copy and paste it into
my command line or into a Python file, and I can run it very,
very quickly and get you an answer very, very quickly.
You can use a service like 'PasteBin', or if the comments
down below allow you to, you can also use code formatting in there.
The third rule that I would like to put out there, and it's
actually not really a rule,
it's more of a guideline,
but the third one is always provide your version of Python
Python, every new version of Python comes with new features,
and so if you're trying to use a feature on an older version
of Python, it helps me to know which version you're using.
And if you don't know, you can always open up your command
line and you can type 'python -V', and it will tell you something
like 3.7.2
So if you could please provide your version of Python as
well, that just helps me with debugging a little faster.
And last but not least, if you're asking a question about
a particular video or something you saw in a video, if you
could please tell me which video you're referencing and which
time you're referring to in that video.
I have a few videos that are upwards to 15 minutes long,
so if you're talking about a particular video, like Introduction
to classes and it's like 4 minutes and 15 seconds in,
just let me know that it's in the 'Classes' video, and it's
4 minutes and 15 seconds in.
That helps me jump to that video, and I can
see exactly what you're talking about.
I have over 1500 videos made, I think now in my teaching
career, and so it's actually really hard for me to keep track of all of these,
so if you could just sort of help me out with that, that
will help me provide a good answer to you in a timely manner,
which is what I aim to do.
I want to help you learn Python effectively, and efficiently,
and this is going to help me do that.
Thank you so much,
and I look forward to helping you learn Python.
