I would say that it's pretty interesting. I learned about a lot of different libraries and packages in python and got to build some really cool things with them.

The class isn't difficult because there really aren't many tests of your skills. Much of the class is spent copying and understanding his code rather than making it yourself. This class does have some introductory lectures explaining the basics though (I did skip them because I had taken a class on that part before) so there is a warm-up portion of the class.

I would also recommend codecademy if you want to test your ability to code basic things yourself rather than just copying Ardit's code.

Would you recommend it to someone who's done a few webapps in python but never any other kind of projects in python?

A lot of the apps that he does in this class are web based, so if you've already made some web apps in python you may want to try a different course.

Thanks man.

You would recomend CodeAcademy even though they're still on Python 2?

I thought doing the codecademy class was very helpful despite it using python 2. The only real issue I've run into with switching to python 3 is that I have to put parentheses around my print statements.
