They say it is one of the hardest courses and they aren't lying. Hope you have some salmon saved!

This course pulls many concepts together: python data structions, recursion, basic file system calls, and unit testing. It results in a very practical app that you can use as a place to showcase the projects you build through boot.dev and beyond.

Now that was a great experience! Built a basic SSG and loved working through the tool's architecture. Taking my usual tools apart and putting them back together was the ultimate masterclass in my own trade.
