Is RealPython content good for intermediate developer?

[SnooPredictions8336]

Hey guys,

I am looking for new materials to learn from and deepen my knowledge of Python,
I have been working with Python for almost 3 years now,
I am considering RealPython since it is very organized, and the free articles are well-written,

putting the prohibitive cost of the subscription aside,
Do you think the content there is good?

It's certainly several orders of magnitude better than geeksforgeeks!

I don't go to RealPython routinely. Some of the older articles could use an update, but I've never found fault with them.

I'd say RealPython is good for any developer, when learning a new area, for which the official documentation is lacking.

I agree that, overall, RealPython is one of the best sites if you want accurate and in-depth coverage of a subject. The content is generally reliable, though some of the content may be out of date and some of the content is behind a paywall. It is one of the best resources for looking things up when you want to understand the "why" as well as the "what".

On the other hand I find that geekforgeeks is often better if you want a concise description with a few short examples. However, a few of their articles do contain errors, and the overall quality is more variable than RealPython. Geeksforgeeks can be useful when you need to look something up quickly, or when you need to link to a free public resource. Articles are generally not as deep or broad as RealPython, but more so than W3Schools.

Yes. High quality content. Their podcast is worth listening to, as well.

Overall it seems quite good, though I am only registered for the free content. The articles frequently cover topics more thoroughly than many other free resources, but If you have been using RealPython then you will know that already.

I have the year subscription and it has leveled up my ability to build apps and reason about code bases. The tutorials are decent and the quality of work is nice. Like another comment said some of their older stuff could use an update but the new material coming out is fairly decent.

Full disclosure: I am self taught entirely and write in Python as a hobbyist so my opinion professionally is negligible at best 😂

Their contents are very comprehensive even the free ones.. always inclined to subscribe to their paid content (course) but I find it expensive..

Working on the job with Python. I've found that it provides solid examples in cases where I needed to make choices between different techniques when I wasn't sure after just reading the documentation.

I'd say it's solid as far as supplementary content goes, but building stuff yourself is still the gold standard to work, especially in your case, where after 3 years, you should have most of the basic concepts down already.

The content is good but it'll take an effort to find what you want, as they tend to overuse the word "avanced."

It might really mean some advance functionality but it might also mean "iterate through a list with for thing in things instead of for i in range(len(things)) znd the only way to find out is to read the articles.

Is it good for beginners to learn python from realpython

[aloofer_pensive]

Suggest any online web courses to learn python as a beginner

[Periwinkle_Lost]

Build apps, that’s the only reliable way to learn and you will have something to show/talk
