The subtitle text on the video playback is overlapping with the UA-cam default text. Unable to read subtitles. They are incorrectly placed at this position. Try some other place for subtitles appearance.

Laurie Wired would say yes.

I studied Python programming for 8 months. Where can I find practical training material for writing scripts? Any advice?

[@t21b2]

After 8 months of coding perhaps you should feel abit more confident in yourself. Find something you would like to automate and start working on it, there is usually a library already built for most things also. Believe it or not, chatgpt can be a good place for practical training material, find something you want to automate, and you can ask chat gpt for tips, or you can even ask it to give you a simple scripting challenge. My first script I believe was cleaning up a specified directory, mp4 in one folder, png in another.

[@joebol2036]

Bash and python

[@bigerrncodes]

Tl;dr: yes

[@gregoireSB93]

I mean, why you doing cybersecurity if you not interested in programming languages ?

[@generalshouva8189]

But so many people who do not like coding join this field. Laurie Wired works in cyber sec and she needs coding.

[@Babayaga130]

Is python enough?

[@epotnwarlock]

Im a software engineer and id recommend javascript as well, id also wouldnt necessarily learn a compiled language but id try to understand the differences between compiled and interpreted

[@Babayaga130]

@@epotnwarlock thanks ! Guess thats at least another year of learning 😅.

[@BrittKemp-rd7vk]

Hey! This video might be helpful for you. ua-cam.com/video/qHsTCBbqCwE/v-deo.html

@@Babayaga130 don't get lost in the weeds of syntax, I'd try to focus on behavior, javascript has a lot of similar syntax to python, compiled languages are very different but there is a lot of overlap with the syntax as well
