Another great book is Learning Python the hard way.

Does paperspace allow you to save state of machine without any charge?

[divyansh (Divyansh Jha)]

Jupyter command to delete a cell
ESC + dd

[init_27 (Sanyam Bhutani)]

It’s retained by default.
You are charged Monthly for storage, so shutting down won’t remove the state of the machine as long as you don’t remove it.

I will start with the first tip for Jupyter notebook : ‘?’ can help you access the DocString for quick reference on syntax.

Here is an example:

Shift + Tab is another life saver.

I found this to be a good resource for OOP in Python: https://jeffknupp.com/blog/2014/06/18/improve-your-python-python-classes-and-object-oriented-programming/

[PranY (Pranjal Yadav)]

Yeah thats an awesome resource by Zed Shaw. However, the link i provided also talks in details about list/dict/set comprehensions, interaction with system as sys.

We can move towards generators and coroutines from there.

https://pythonprogramming.net/ is my suggestion for learning Python (and a whole lot of things you can do with it).

sentdex (the author) is active on reddit as well.

Get Started with the Edx Course

Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python

Then play with pygame and make some games!

[rajath (Rajat)]

Thanks. Its relatively easy to use then and best thing is its browser based.

Executing Shell Commands in Jupyter Cell:

Use ! to execute shell commands.

Hi @jeremy, is there a way you could talk to the GitHub guys, so that they make the Student Pack currently available only for the college going students, for the fast.ai fellows. It is a pack and I think there are good perks of availing it? Here is a link to the list. I had applied once and got it rejected as I am a self learner.

[codeck (Kousik)]

Is the list comprehension just skipping the x.append part but still running a for loop in the backend ? is that correct?

[j4ck]

Is there a computational benefit to using the list comprehension as well? Is it faster over longer objects than a for loop?

[garyzhalo]

short answer: always try to avoid using for loop
