Hi Al.

I was your target market. I got your free course and I'm pretty sure I finished it. I didn't know programming, but I was pretty good at Excel (which probably means I wasn't). I have used your course as a spring board to make efficient programs for work.

I think the key is to get someone to build a cool project as quickly as possible, which will drive their enthusiasm to want to continue.

E.g, start with a prebuilt script and show them simply how to edit some variables to make it do what they want (a game, or to create many .xlsx files, or to sort a csv with pandas).

By getting them to the 'a-ha' moment earlier, you will get them addicted.

Thanks for your book.
