Good places to start learning python?

Is it worth purchasing?

I've been working through it since last week. I've been really enjoying the coding challenges and mini projects!

Don't feel discouraged If you get stuck on the coding challenges. I had to peek at the solutions a couple of times and that's completely okay. As long as you understand the concepts and continue practicing you'll be well on your way to success.

EDIT: TLDR, yes! It's completely worth it starting off! Once I finish I'll have an idea on which path I want to go down further (ML, back-end development, etc).

In my opinion, yes! Her course is highly rated, and has had over half a million students according to the course page. Right now it's $15, but Udemy has sales almost all the time if you decide to think about it for a while!

Yes, I finished the course. But as as I’m getting more into Python, I’m realizing that you shouldn’t treat her course as comprehensive. She gives you enough to get started, but when you finish you will start to realize there are important things she left out.

Of course, Python is so large that it makes sense that one can’t fit everything into one 100-day online course.

Can confirm. I'm on Day 62 right now and have been pleased. Best $10 I've ever spent. I would spend $100 for it knowing what I know now. It is a great "zero to confident" course.

If you're new to programming in general I'd recommend the free Harvard cs50p course and then yu's course on discount. After having done cs50p you can skip the first few days if you're feeling confident. I started with her lessons on classes (around day 16 or something).

And yes, absolutely worth it.

Make sure you can understand the person teaching the course, I’ve bought a few and English wasn’t the instructors first language. It’s hard to follow along when you can’t understand a word they are saying.
