Great beginner starting point. Would recommend anybody to go thru with the free program first to get your feet wet. And by the end of chapter 3 I think you should have a pretty good way of telling if buying the yearly subscription is worth it. It was for me!

Very well laid out. Challenging enough to make it stick but not so much to make it unbearable to learn.

This is an excellent course. Explains concepts clearly, but then it is all hands-on after that. Perfect environment to learn. Furthermore, with the hands-on learning, you are reinforcing the concepts.

Boot.dev’s Introduction to Python Course was a very good experience for me because the lessons were clear, practical, and focused on learning by writing code. The course helped me strengthen important concepts such as functions, conditionals, loops, lists, dictionaries, sets, testing, debugging, and error handling. I also liked that the exercises required me to think and solve problems instead of only watching videos or reading theory.
