For both of those, I felt very stumped and not knowing how to move forward on finger exercises and problem sets. I think there are some things we haven’t yet been taught that made the questions harder unless you already knew other concepts. I already had some basic knowledge from AtBS, but I will say I think Unit/Pset1 is one of the more difficult problem sets, and the TAs said as well. The course starts off slow as any intro undergraduate course does. If you can’t spare the money, you’re not missing much. The midterm and final weren’t very vital, just additional reinforcement of material. Auditing the class gets you the finger exercises and problem sets, which are the meat of your learning. Finally decided to commit to a class structure and paid for the cert mostly to support the class, but also for a little more motivation. I’ve failed to finish a Python course multiple times, I think I’m on my 4th attempt of Automate the Boring Stuff. I have a decent enough foundation where I think Google and just experimenting will help take care of the rest.Įcon major, went into manufacturing, then just started in IT. I’ll probably dabble a bit back into AtBS before thinking of a project to do. I tracked my time with an app and ended up usually 8-12 hours per week. In either case, it’s a good foundation to build upon with other material. Good intro course that gets you learning and implementing a lot of basic Python functions, then starts to get computer science heavy at the end, which was meh for me as I don’t have plans to be a programmer, just want to automate/script in my new IT career. Final was released earlier today and I got to it after work. Since he has two websites and a different team for each of those websites, he has multiple workspaces one for personal use and one for each website.* Unless you work on major, ongoing projects with separate teams and very distinct needs, I don’t recommend multiple workspaces.I just finished up this course a few hours ago. Each workspace is also billed separately.Īdditional workspaces are useful if you use Notion with a team and need different users seeing different setups.Ĭhris Coyier of is a good example for multiple workspaces. Users can create multiple workspaces but sharing data between workspaces can get complicated. Your workspace is where all your stuff lives. You know how a square is a rectangle but a rectangle is not a square? Well, in Notion, a database can be viewed on a page but a page can’t be viewed on a database. As of this publication, Notion lets the user view their databases as a table (spreadsheet), board (kanban), list, calendar, gallery, or timeline. Notion lets the user create databases and spreadsheets quickly and easily and each database item can have whatever information attached to it as you need. Before I found Notion, Airtable was my go-to database app. If you’ve ever used Excel, that’s a database. Pages are well-named because they can look as boring and as streamlined as a page in a book or it can be decorative and interactive as a webpage with links and images.ĭatabases are collections of, well, data. (Content will be discussed in more detail later.) Notion pages are also stackable. Pages can contain text, images, databases, code snippets, embeds, links, and a lot more. If you’re an Evernote user like I was for several years, a page is Notion’s equivalent of a note. We’ll talk a little bit more about Notion’s aesthetic a little later on in the book. Users can move these blocks around by clicking and dragging them, creating a more user-friendly look and feel to their workspace. You add an item to a database, that’s one block. You add an image to a page, that’s one block. Layout of the workspace, a page, blocks and an example of a databaseĪ block is a single piece of content. Pages, databases and workspaces can be set as private, accessible to a team of users, or entirely public. Notion uses four levels of content within its entire framework. A limited version of Notion is also available for free. Users can subscribe annually or monthly to the platform as an individual user or as part of a team. It combines a lot of simple functions to create a tool-rich, cohesive workspace experience.Īs of this publication, Notion is available for iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, and as an in-browser web app. I realize that isn’t terribly specific (and definitely not sexy) but defining such a customizable application is tricky because its definition changes depending on how you use it. Notion is a highly flexible workspace app.
