Today, we are talking with Mattan Griffel (@mattangriffel) about how to learn Python. Mattan teaches code to MBAs — at Columbia Business School. He also teaches the Learn Python course here at One Month.

Why learn Python?

Python is one of the most popular languages for data analytics and web development "Python is the new Excel" being used in business school finance classes. Google, Instagram, Uber and many more companies are using Python.

“Forget Wall Street lingo. The language Citigroup Inc. wants its incoming investment bank analysts to know is Python” — Bloomberg, 2018 (that quote says it all).

In this episode, we discuss:

How long did it take Mattan to learn Python?

What is a great first project to build in Python?

What is the best programming language to learn first?

What are some free Python resources?

Learn to Code in One Month - Reflecting on My Failure to Build a Billion-Dollar Company
play

08/31/21 • 41 min

This week I chat with Sahil Lavingia (Gumroad.com Founder) who spent years running a profitable business with millions of adorning customers — only to be told again and again that he was a huge failure.

In this episode, Sahil and I discuss the expectations of taking VC money, and the metrics for success (and failure) that startups must answer to.

Sahil begins,

"In 2011, I left my job as the second employee at Pinterest — before I vested any of my stock — to work on what I thought would be my life’s work. I thought Gumroad would become a billion-dollar company, with hundreds of employees. It would IPO, and I would work on it until I died. Something like that. Needless to say, that didn’t happen. Now, it may look like I am in an enviable position, running a profitable, growing, low-maintenance software business serving adoring customers. But for years, I considered myself a failure. At my lowest point, I had to lay off 75 percent of my company, including many of my best friends. I had failed. It took me years to realize I was misguided from the outset. I no longer feel shame in the path I took to get to where I am today — but for a long time, I did. This is my journey, from the beginning."

Learn to Code in One Month - How I Built Product Hunt, Dash and more with Nathan Baschez
play

06/01/21 • 57 min

Nathan Baschez (Product Hunt, Gimlet Media) is one of the most prolific people I know, having worked at half a dozen of the coolest startups I can think of, all in just the past ten years. I first met Nathan back in 2012 while we were working at General Assembly in New York City. At the time General Assembly had just acquired Nathan's startup Dash — an early learn to code app much like Codecademy. Since then Nathan has gone on to co-create Product Hunt, launch HardBound (a visual storytelling app), as well as dedicate his talents to Gimlet Media and Substack.

In my chat with Nathan we discuss:

  • How to design a career
  • Strategies for choosing projects
  • Behind the scenes of early days at General Assembly, and Product Hunt
  • What it's like to work at Gimlet Media (home to the Reply All Podcast, Startup, and the CrimeTown Podcast)
  • Tips for staying focused when learning to code for the first time

In a previous episode of the Learn to Code Podcast I discussed best practices for building a website. Today I want to discuss when NOT to build a website! As well as some cheap, and quick ways to validate your idea before you write a line of code.

I've built a lot of websites that no one has ever visited.😭 I've seen clients spend $10,000 to build a website, and then afterwards never make an update! Without love, websites die. HTML ages like bread, not like wine.

In this episode, I discuss the concept of MVP (minimum viable product) and how successful companies like Dropbox, the Skimm, and Oculus Riff all launched without writing a single line of code.

In this episode, we talk about the various resources that Irma used to learn to code (Codecademy, freeCodeCamp, One Month). How helpful were each of these coding courses? Which was the most helpful? What did she use first? What language would she recommend if you're new to just starting a code? All that and more!
