This course was super easy to follow along and work through! I found myself super hooked to the lessons and wanting to learn more and do additional challenges. The one portion I was struggling at first with was loops. By the end of the course I felt a lot more comfortable being able to solve a problem utilizing a loop and understand what the code was doing. I have tried many intro to coding courses and this was by far the best and only one I actually finished. Excited to go deeper into python!

As a beginner with zero knowledge about programming I am satisfied with the course. I belive it has impacted me a lot better if I was learning on my own just searching on yt or else for quides for beginners which would led me to turmoil.

This course is structured in a brilliant way where the student never feels lost in the learning path. It has great challenges, although in the last 2 lessons I felt like things got a bit easier when I expected them to become harder. For example I thought at the end there would be a big challenge with lots of lines to code without help. Nonetheless I really loved the way everything is explained and the flow.

I have taken course on other sites and trying to find a guided learning experience was difficult. With Boot.dev, I enjoyed the way the lesson was first introduced and then had you expand on that knowledge. They didn't just give you the exact problem but a slight more advance one. I thought I knew python, but this really had me test out all my skills.
