I had already studied some python so it wasnt too difficult. However for a complete beginner I wonder if the ramp up might be too much.

Pretty good as a starting point. I generally didn't need to consult with the AI or external resources given that most things are provided here, the sole exception was at the end with dictionaries but I chalk it up to me taking a small break before tackling it so I sort of ruined my sprint :p. I recommend taking on the challenges!

Good course that has the right mix of hands on exercises. Also the ability of boots to help break down problems as well.

It did get hard really quick. Make it a little easier to grasp and learn as you go for first timers
