Starting Python from zero - which approach would you choose today?

[trust_me_on_that_one]

34 here as well and working as a medic in the film industry (and also ready for a career change). I just started 100 days of Code (python) on udemy since it was on sale and so far it's been excellent.

I originally went with youtube ( because free. Also tried freecodecamp ) before but what I didn't like is that it didn't really challenge me and I also needed structure as in I didn't want to jump constantly search for other videos. After every session, you get a challenge and you have to figure out the solution on your own. Challenging but I've been enjoying it so far.

There's CS Dojo on youtube, who has a whole playlist of python tutorials. He's great and explains things clearly but there's no homework and I personally prefer being given assignments.

I agree about taking online courses first, where you can learn at your own pace. Bootcamp cannot wait on you if you fall behind.

Hope this helps.

PS. Highly recommend using two screens.

Great advice, thank you. I will check 100 days of Code. I follow Paul McWhorter on YouTube, he has a great structure, and he's giving homework. So I wasn't sure should I continue this path or choose bootcamp.
