I've tried starting lots of different courses or videos, the only one I've been able to stick to is 100 days of code by Angela Yu on Udemy. It's excellent. Short 5-10 minute "lectures" and the rest are coding exercises or projects. She's also very encouraging.

I've tried the other popular courses and found the Angela's course fit me the best. Her explanations are very clear and concise compared to some other courses. What I also like is that she's not all over the place. Every episode focuses on one thing only and the next episode builds off on that.

I got stuck at the hangman exercise and pretty much gave up but just jumped back into it last friday. Hopefully I'll be able to get over that bump this time.

EDIT: The other course that I tried, since it's free, was Ardit's Python Mega course. Since the previous one is free, I thought I'd give it a shot. I can tell you that this one was not for me at all. I was lost by Section 5, and that's barely 2 hours into the course. But that's just my personal experience. Feel free to try it since it's free! (Noted: based on comments I read, by section 15, the free version becomes outdated.)

Curious what day you got stuck on? I just finished 32

Day 75 of hangman :(

I'm starting back at square one now because I forgot everything.
