no

"Learn Python" book should be fine for you, Pajeet.

OP. I'm in your same shoes. Some people on /g/ Programing threads will say that CodeAcademy is crap.
I'm using CodeAcademy to learn Python and I have been learning alot more than when I was using Learn Python the Hard Way.

It might seem like that op, but put simply what your hipster ass sees as programing is built on pillars of knowledge of math and computer science. Programing languages are the cream of the academic crop, the culmination of years of work. It might not seem like that now but programing languages where made by people who knew their shit for people who knew their shit. But as computing became more of an accessory than a science languages where adapted for normal non eggheaded people. And another thing, even modern languages are derived from these eggheaded languages. And thus share iths inherited problem.

Best advice i can give you is ether tank out the fact that you don't understand what you are doing from the start and pick up shit as you learn the basics (what are ints what are strings, memory management etc.)
Or learn real CS and than just learn how to implement what you already have with a language of your choice. The way programmers did it in the past

A little harsh on the OP, don't you think? Have to start somewhere. Asking for some tutorials that have easier to understand concepts so he can apply that learned knowledge seems like a reasonable quest. I doubt anyone looked at sourcecode and knew what the contents instantly. You aren't born with the knowledge.

I have the opposite problem, there are millions of great free tutorials out there for every language but they are all too basic. I know what a variable and a loop is, I need some tutorials that help me cross the gap between CodeAcademy basics and being able to look at a project on Github and be able to understand what's going on.

Horse shit, you don't need a single ounce of theory to write crappy little python scripts. Pull your ego out of your ass hole, undergrad.

No, you just think you're learning more because you memorized some syntax and learned to copy what it says to get some good boy points. It's an artificial feeling, because once you stop, you'll realize you haven't learned anything at all. No one wants to spend 2 hours on one page of a textbook trying to figure out something they can't understand.
