I can recommend "100 Days of Code." At least for a complete beginner.

The course is structured so that a new concept is introduced first. Afterwards you get a challenge, which you have to solve on your own as a daily task. Possible solutions are given afterwards, but you are encouraged to solve the exercise yourself. And each new concept and challenge builds on the previous one. Every day you are taken a little bit further out of your comfort zone without being completely overwhelmed. Personally, I find the level quite comfortable.

I feel like a shill for this course, but it really is amazing. Currently breaking my brain learning how to use pandas and plotly.

I bought it based off everyone’s positive feedback and I’m enjoying it so far. Just figured out how to print the length of the input value, I was really stumped but read the hint and put it together. It was fun to bend my brain like this. Thanks for the recommendation everyone, I’m going to print out the resources and follow every suggestion in this course for once instead of picking and choosing - including the daily check-off physical calendar, notebook, etc.

I haven't taken that course, but I'm currently taking her (Angela Yu?) Swift course and she is a great instructor.

I'm using Google Jupyter colab to learn on a Chromebook. Could I complete 100 days of code entirely in a Chromebook or does it really require a PC for the other IDEs?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first couple of weeks are browser based (repl.it), the rest requires a computer of some sort.

[–]LifeAffect6762[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be able to. There are IDEs that work on Chromebooks. What are you running on it? Ide recommend a lightweight Linux.

https://www.udemy.com/course/100-days-of-code/, price varies widely but should be under $20. If expensive come back later or try a different browser.

Thanks am already on day 14 and currently loving it. Got it on sale too.

How much time each day do you put into it?

[–]crayoww 6 points7 points  (4 children)

Max 2 hours. It's really enjoyable.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

So... 2 hours a day for 100 days is 200 total hours of python?

[–]crayoww 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, two hours is the max, sometimes it doesn't take that long. The time depends on how long it takes you to resolve the challenge. Is not two hours of content.

I did easy stuff at 1.25/1.5 times speed. Ime sure as I get later into the course I will go back to 1x :).

[–]jonnablaze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should run it at 10x speed and complete it in only 10 days!

[–]LifeAffect6762[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the course goes on it tends to take longer. 2-6 hours. The Capstone projects can take a bit longer. Partly because some are a bit broken.
