# Software Engineering with Python

```
Learn and code every day! Take notes.
Learn to ask GOOD questions.
Learn to prioritize tasks. Focus on 1 thing!
Build something, anything. Build projects that bring some benefit to you or the people around you. 
Take small steps, but every day, consistency is very important.
