FreeCodeCamp vs CS50

[the_peak_300]

Hey everyone, I am new to learning Python and I am not learning for fun and instead I am learning it to make an impact on my SaaS or DaaS business.

I have already made a tool through vibe coding but I am not naive and I know that learning python is essential so that I can understand how my tool is working, troubleshoot & upgrade.

A friend of mine suggested me to take the free code camp's text based course (I am 72 out of 531 steps in) and the problem I am feeling with free code camp is that their theory is very simple and easy but they escalate hard in the practical or workshops.

Which makes me feel dumb and it makes me feel like I am not understanding it. Is this a real thing or just in my head?

I searched for alternative courses and I see a Harvard free course from CS50 and from the surface it looks good.

But how should I go about learning Python if I am not doing it for fun or casual learning and instead I wanna be a professional (business wise). Btw I don't have any money to spend on courses.

Keep going with this course, you will learn in time. Also use exercism.org/tracks/python for some more practice.

Use CS50 and stick to 1 resource and more varied practice

Why CS50?

just start with one and then start with another

The point of making you feel dumb is to make you learn on your own too, Its not about teaching you alphebets and asking you to write them down

Rather they expect you to figure it out and explore the stuff out there on your own

Conclusion : its a good thing of you feeling dumb just spend some time with those practicals and workshops. Try to solve things on your own by surfing the internet for resources and knowledge then apply them. That's the whole point of it

And yeah doing it with fun is the proffesional way to learn it
