Really good intro course. Not too hard but not too hand-holdy either.

Learn to Code in Python
Speaking as someone who was already familiar with the fundamentals of programming in other languages, this was a great way to learn the basics of Python and it's syntax as well as learn some different programming methodologies.

dogshit classes they give you prompts for things they didnt teach you or talk about and when you ask for help its vague and always wrong 90% of the class was me asking ai for help because the idiots who made boots did a shit job

The course is good, but I skipped the concurrency part. Study the course along with a reference book to get the most out of it.

Learn to Code in Python
took time and tried to take as many extra training created to help me practice which was a great help and using it on more difficult examples was really helpful to help retain the new knowledge, still feels like i need to learn a ton since i feel nowhere capable to write bigger more complex code, create a program an AI bot or anything else, Would appreciate also more practice trainings on binary topic, since does were the most challanging,the part of the course could have more steps for practice

Some folks look at the job data and assume that front-end positions are the only option for new learners. On the contrary, there is big demand for backend and data-oriented positions!
If you like working with data, logic, and servers, you might just enjoy the back-end, data-focused curriculum here on Boot.dev. And similar to the frontend, most data and backend positions don't require a specific degree from a university... but you do need to know your stuff!
