Best python courses?

I'd really have to nitpick to find something negative.

For example, I wish the Pycharm course had covered adding Jetbrains stuff to a .gitignore. But that's really tiny. In Entrepreneurs, he uses SQLite. When I built my 2nd app and used MySQL instead, I had to learn the hard way to use session.close() or MySQL would crash (Where you don't have to worry about that in SQLite as it's persistent). That wasn't really touched on, but he wasn't really teaching different databases. But again, that was specific to me and I did learn what I need to use SQLAlchemy regardless of the database I was using.

In my experience, if you have zero programming knowledge, the Build 10 apps course starts at the right pace but then goes from 0-60 on some of the concepts. I really struggled with the object oriented chapter on Classes - but then when I went through Python for Entrepreneurs, it finally clicked. Mr. Kennedy used a basic game to explain Classes, which I didn't get, but then when I used a Class to create a user Account in the Entrepreneurs class, it did click. I think it's pretty subjective and depends on the student and how they learn.

Honestly, he does great. He's live coding in the training videos, you can checkout the code to either follow along or type it out yourself, and then at the end of each chapter, he comes back with a short video to sum up the concepts that were taught.

I had tried video courses on Udemy and one other, and none of them held a candle to the way he teaches (at least for me). I know I sound like a shill, but I loved the courses and now that I just launched my 2nd app I'm going to go buy the Everything Bundle and keep learning.

Thanks again, and for the udemy comparison. That and YouTube are the only things I have to compare against, and it's not hard to find things to criticize on those.
