After completing the course I feel like I have a great grasp on writing python. It wasn't a comprehensive course, but python has a large ecosystem so it isn't realistic to cover all of python in less than 200 lessons. Remembering the syntax differences between sets and dicts is difficult. Highly recommend.

A good place to start for someone completely new to the world of coding like me. I did have to rely on assistance as sometimes I just couldn't get my head around the logic, but as I got further in and even repeated a large chunk of the course it stuck more! Recommend!

Great start to learn how to code. The interactive exercises in the browser and help you can ask from ai assistant boots are really great. It forces you to learn in a very effective way.

It is a good course but do not be afraid to use Boots or do the course alongside the video tutorial that is provided on youtube. I know that those things can feel like cheating but when you don't have a professor going along with you to catch your mistakes these options may be better than forming bad habits.
