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

CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2017. — 236 p. — ISBN: 1974431479.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.Washington University research shows that a key teaching method I use — interactive recall practice — improves learning performance 400 percent.Computer languages are not inherently hard to understand, even for non-techies. Remembering is the problem. If you remember all of Chapter 1 through Chapter 10, you'll understand Chapter 11. But you don't remember. Though you read and read, most of it doesn't stick. You don't have a solid foundation to build on. Halfway through the book, it all collapses. That's when most people give up.
