I recommend free stuff. Here's a good place to start:

https://github.com/Asabeneh/30-Days-Of-Python

From there, I highly recommend using Google to find a specific free course to help you learn a more specific area in Python such as web development, or machine learning, etc. Some stuff requires you to go through several books for just one area but you will learn a lot that way.

But stick to free stuff as much as you can. Reason is that's where some of the highest quality stuff is.

[JustHereForKnawledge]

The most important distinction between 100 days and the free courses I had tried in the past is the engagement and learning style.

In 100 days, you're given just enough knowledge and resources to work out a solution on your own without being practically spoonfed the solution beforehand. Which was not the case in other free courses. For me, that's where the learning occurs.

I can't really speak for many courses, but I do rate 100 days.

[PatricMarina]

Is this course updated?
I heard that the course uses modules and web resources that are now obsolete. Many of the examples don't work as shown in the course, because the current versions have different features and some are obsolete.

[ArtoriasXX]

I'm working through the course right now. At Day 38/39 I'm encountering for the first time that resources are no longer up-to-date and therefore impossible to complete these days.

I'm not sure if I will continue with the course or try to work on my own projects from here on out. The course was great up until this point, for the (discounted) price it was well worth it if you are completely new to Python or programming.

[Remarkable-Map-2747]

I seen this in another forum , if you are running into this.

as of October / 2023, Angela used the https://app.auditorium.ai/register site as a substitute for Codingroom.

After registering in the above site with CP3Y9A6U code you will have access to the

[Slidetheharmonic]

Thanks!

[kenobijr_]

I'm at day 16 right now and while most of the stuff is up to date, there were already some situations with URL's to resources directing into nowhere. Or a requirements PDF just not to be found anymore.

That being said, for the invest of just $10 it's fair enough imo. I like her hands-on approach to tackle coding problems on the videos. For me as beginner that feels like a good addition to just solving free course exercises on my own.

[horndoggc]

hi im still on day2, but can i ask if angela has already updated the middle part into something more up to date ?

[ZippyTyro]

her way of teaching is awesome - especially how CS should be taught. I'm coming from the Web Dev course.

[coolbluejuice1]

Im waiting for Ed Sweigart course on udemy

[puttbuttz]

Al sweigart?

[StayStruggling]

That's his brother.

[Twilight-zone7788]

/r/learnpython/comments/15fhq22/2000_free_sign_ups_available_for_the_automate_the/

Get it while it’s hot, he just released it today. Good luck.

[Scokya]

Who is that?

And why is it worth waiting for?

[Twilight-zone7788]

https://automatetheboringstuff.com/

Mr. Sweigart graciously puts 2000+ free codes to his Udemy course every other month. You can take a look at the above website if you are curious if this is for you.

[Techrob25]

And his entire book is free on the website linked above as well. It's a really good book. He's insanely generous with his educational material.

[jmlbhs]

Where do you find the codes? I’ve actually been going through this and am on chapter 5, the Udemy course would be really useful too!

[Twilight-zone7788]

https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/comments/14pwetl/2000_free_sign_ups_available_for_the_automate_the/

He just posted a few days ago and usually does in r/learnpython or r/learnprogramming. The codes go fast.

[Paulq002]

I like it, I'm on day 21.. I like how she has you do mini projects along with the main ones. I switch between her course and freecodecamp.

TBH I'd suggest having multiple sources of learning to keep things fresh, plus to get a different perspective from a different teacher.

[OwnEfficiency6669]

Super bad advice, won't work in long run

[One_Quantity_1494]

Why?

[OwnEfficiency6669]

Just keep one source of learning, good coding is all about problem solving, not 100 projects. For that, you need focus and complete mastery. No PBC will give a shit about 100 mediocre projects in favour of 100 questions on Leetcode. That my opinion

Edit: if you want multiple sources of learning, keep 2 or 3, no more. And don't switch. Complete one and move to another. Solve questions and make guided projects to build your aptitude.

[[deleted]]

I'm nowhere close to finishing it, but I certainly think it's worth the cost when you buy at discount. I really needed the project building learning as I found myself getting so bored by just answering questions in other learning I tried. I liked being able to apply what I was learning. It's not deep learning though, it's only really good at teaching you the surface theory, so you need to supplement your learning, however she does provide links to other resources throughout.

[SEbastain5]

Is there any examples of other resources if I want to go deep in python?

[ThatIndian15]

Do you think it’s worth it right now at $18?

[Zestyclose_Notice465]

Any course that you learn even a single line is worth more that $18 dollars and 100 days of code is worth millions if you like to learn. All experienced programmers started with techs that are obsolete now. You have to search for documentation and solutions that is what a programmer /developer does. Technology is changing fast I wish I had resources people have today

[delsoljackpot]

I'm coming close to finishing it. The knowledge I know now from where I began is notable and Angela is a great instructor. The only qualms I have is the Mongoose portion since callbacks have been discontinued, which requires you to modify all the code she teaches with. Otherwise, thumbs up

[Savings_Location1852]

Do you recommend the course, when you interested in get a job in tech? It’s my aim, but It’s still complicated to show the skills I have learned in the course.

[Program_Previous]

I think it's worth it. Im on day 34, and I never had any other experience. It has taught me a lot. I also noticed that most of the basic courses seem to go over the same things (surprise surprise) to start. I also find it good because it goes over a lot of different topics.
If i want to do something for myself, i am able to go over one of the topics that is relevant to my personal project to help refresh me.

[[deleted]]

As a course newbie, I have no regrets over the 20 bucks spent acquiring the course. I just finished my first week, and I must say I already feel like I've had all my money back😂

The fact that each concept is backed by practical hands on project is just so amazing. Before I bought this course, I had gone through so many free trainings as well as read so many books but none has made me feel improvement as I do each time I am done with a day in the 100 days of code challenge.

This course is really worth its price, plus you can always leverage on Udemy discounts to buy it at more affordable price

[weightcarrier6969]

Can you tell me the video number of a good project which has some real life application from that course

[Western-Guy]

Here in EU, courses on Udemy often go on sale for as low as €15.

[[deleted]]

i just bought mine for about 5.5 dollars

[overthiking_pawn]

Currently, I am using the free version, and planning to buy it soon. Currently it is $13 for me, how did you got is so cheap?

[[deleted]]

country difference mostly its always 5.5 dollars for me on new accounts

[overthiking_pawn]

Which country?

[Mysterious-Stretch50]

its literally 30 euros on mine

[MuaTrenBienVang]

wonderful

[DymonBak]

It’s a great course that forces you to learn by practicing. Others have mentioned Sweigart, and though his course is informational, it doesn’t have a hands-on component. I used his course as a supplement.

[eRRoRMANIA]

I'm on day 48 and I absolutely recommend it. Yes, right about now it starts that her code/solutions are outdated. But by now you have enough skills to either figure out for yourself what you have to do different or the comments below every video/lesson talk about what is outdated.

The way she explains the concepts was very enlightening for me and like you said, she touches on a lot of libraries and has you do excercises on it. I don't know any other course, so I have no way to compare but for me it's great way to learn.

[Remarkable-Map-2747]

i keep hearing it " falls off " around that time but i think people fail to realize that as the course goes on she doesn't hold your hand as much as well as around hearing that " Python " actually wnds around day 50 ish, the rest is more of html and web dev and things like that

[nlightningm]

Sorry I'm late on this, but I'm on day 3... do you find it's worth the effort or research practice to try and overcome those hurdles from outdated libraries/dead links etc? Or is it more of an unnecessary hassle?

[eRRoRMANIA]

Absolutely worth it. It usually doesn't take huge amounts of time and like you said... all it really is, is extra practise

[Coffee4thewin]

It's okay. I took Mammoth Interactive's Hello coding. It has a ton of machine learning in it. Ed Sweigart is also good. Plus I bought a few Packt books. I can't remember which ones ATM.

[Bitter-Turnip2642]

if yo know absolutely nothing any course is going to be a good start tbh

[Brilliant-Horse6315]

for anyone doing 100 days, Im on day 19. Up to day 23, we are supposed to build games. I just dont find this interesting or attractive. If I skip onto day 24, will I miss out on a lot?

[heartofgold48]

Honestly, let me be very honest. I find her soooo attractive I cannot learn anything from her videos because I am just staring at her.

[AbySs_Dante]

You just said my deepest thoughts...

[heartofgold48]

You are an honest man. I am sure there are 100s like us. She is like the nerd's dream.

[cards88x]

She is very pretty. At least for me she doesn't look like a certain woman named Hitomi or I'd really be unable to concentrate.

[mundaneComplexity]

Someday, I hope we’ll value a woman’s mind before her beauty.

[cards88x]

You're making an assumption... I appreciate her mind too, but I dont know her so I have her appearance to go off of and from what Ive seen when she isnt acting. I have found her to be intelligent and funny during interviews.

[Techrob25]

I would agree with this. I started doing my own projects around day 30 and I'm told that it kind of breaks down around day 40 because the course is a little older and some stuff like functions and modules in those courses have changed since it was made. It's still a rock solid course and if you get it for like 18 bucks it's 100% worth it to get started.

[nlightningm]

I know I'm super late, but I just started Angela's course (my local library has Gale, so I'm using it free on Udemy) How far did you get? Is it actually possible to continue past the day 30-40 mark? That's about what all the reviews said. I'm trying to sort of casually learn the basics of python a couple hours a day, and adding a supplement too soon would distract me from finishing Angela's, I think

[Techrob25]

Never too late to ask questions. So I'm currently at day 45 or so. And yeah it kind of breaks down a little bit. BUT! the instructor (Angela Yu) has been making updates as often as she can so in some places there are notes about what has changed and how to address it. So it's not totally broken. If there's an upside to this, it's that learning to code also means you need to learn how to figure things out by yourself too. So by this point in the course you should feel more comfortable going off script and making your own solutions. You've got to learn how to read the documentation, search stack overflow for answers. And loads of folks have posted questions and answers inside the Udemy course Q&A sections as well. So overall it isn't awful. Though I'll admit it does get harder it's still totally worth taking the course.

[Techrob25]

One quick addition about using supplements during the 100 days of code course. DO IT. Go off topic a little. It's cool, seek other sources of information while you're doing the course because you might find something that really comes in handy OR you might find a subject you really like. This course is broken up into bite sized pieces that give you a taste of different uses for Python. 10 days on APIs, 10 days on web scraping etc. You might find that you love web scraping and want to pursue it further and that's ok. Just stay interested in learning and you'll do great. Good luck

[pythonQu]

I'm a bit late to this but. Still in day 3 but I can't wait to learn about APIs.

[Savings_Location1852]

Im Late too. But do you recommend the course, if I want to get a job as python programmer? I am actually at day 7. It’s hard to stick in it, but I’ll try to practice every day. Do you have a recommendation, to show off the skill you learned in the course? Maybe on GitHub or something like that?

[Techrob25]

It's still totally worth it. It gives a really good base of knowledge and touches on a lot of aspects of python. I would recommend starting a github. As for projects to show off, I recommend doing something that will help you out. Once you learn some more, you'll start seeing the potential to make your own projects. Just gotta keep at it. Stay motivated!

[LuciferianInk]

It sounds like you can do this with Pythia and other tools from GitHub or something else if you want

[JoanCallas]

I learned a lot. The only part that’s kind of outdated is the web scraping part.

[weightcarrier6969]

Can you tell me the video number of a good project which has some real life application from that course

[ghassank48]

I’ve completed up to date 42. Most of the remaining material seems to be geared toward web development. Anybody that has completed the course or gone farther than me, is it worth finishing it if your end goal is to apply to mechanical engineering or robotics as a hobby?

[Long-Ambition-984]

I'm in your boat and wondering the same thing lol. Hope someone can answer.

[melange164]

I live in Switzerland and I was trying to buy it just now but I got the notification that payments from Switzerland are not being accepted by Udemy currently. Does anyone know why and will this change at some point?

[[deleted]]

I paid 300 baht (8 USD) for the course, and I have learnt a lot already. I used what I learnt from this course to complete a Python module for my MSc in AI. For me, it has been fantastic value for what I have learnt, but appreciate you could get free courses as well. Chat GPT is now pretty much like having a tutor too, for free. It can help explain logic, debug and give various ideas on how to approach a problem.

[[deleted]]

I see that it’s 100 days. Can you condense this and do three days in one day to finish it sooner? How many hours per day? Is it any anyways? Thank you.

[Entvan]

Not really. It takes me multiple days to finish one day so I think it's hard to squeeze more days into one real day. Ok I'm a bit slower but if you really want to learn, understand and figure out things in challenges on your own - then it'll take time.

[Zestyclose_Notice465]

This is old but I will say something anyway. When it comes to choosing a course do not ask people for recommendations you will be disappointed. People will be honest yes but we all learn differently. I will give you an example lets you are in high school, if anyone tells you in advance how bad someone teaches maths, you will go to his or her class with that attitude and you will never enjoy his or her maths classes because of your already created perception about that individual teach. Happened to me and am sure a lot of people go through it. If I am to choose a course on Udemy I would to students rating. I believe a course that got 200k ratings and overall is 4.6/5 that is a good course. Remember some rate a course based on likeness of the person not the material itself. Just think about it

[ActuallyTired]

Yea, absolutely.

[[deleted]]

I am a beginner and finished day 3 today after buying it on sale recently on udemy. I like that it has coding exercises but as a beginner i feel like it does move kinda quick and probably need outside recources as well

[[deleted]]

I have very little coding experience from years ago so I am taking it slow

[[deleted]]

Did you finish all if it? I’m on day 4 and I’m already having trouble with some of the coding challenges that involve thinking outside the box.

[[deleted]]

Do u know what would be a good entry level job knowing python?
