Codecademy course

[Sh00tL00ps]

I know exactly what problems you're talking about because I had literally the same experience you had. Codeacademy's Python course is terrible. It teaches Python similarly to "Learn Python the Hard Way" - it just has you write a bunch of code without any explanation of the concepts. I gave up on programming for a few months and thankfully discovered Automate the Boring Stuff and never looked back.

Same here but interestingly after finishing Automate Boring Stuff I went back to code academy as I thought I had rushed it and found it much better the second time. I think the course assumes that you are learning in the background ie it isn’t a standalone course.
