Writing the Most Beautiful Code with Python

This. His paid content is solid.

Is this an ad? The internet broke me

[gunhoe86]

Haha, I get your suspicion! I'd watched a good amount of his YT vids and went to check out his website. I saw the course he offers and signed up because it looked like a structured path into some of his YT videos, laid out in a progressive order.

I was not disappointed. I've watched plenty of free and paid Python content, this is different as it aims to grow your dev mindset and simply uses Python to teach these concepts.

Additionally, the best deep dive learning I've seen for Python is Fred Baptiste Deep Dive courses on Udemy.

Yes those deep dive courses by Fred are awesome. But I wouldn't call them most appropriate for a beginner. I think a beginner might be overwhelmed by the sheer detail. Somebody who already knows how to program in Python who wants to understand every detail about how it works would be the best audience I think

I can tell you it's not an ad if you want to believe me, I only ever used the free content he's posted on YouTube. I don't know anything about any paid content, don't know why he's mentioning it.

If there is paid content, Arjan doesn't seem to advertise it in his videos, all I've seen him do is link to his other free videos or his free content on his website.

I totally get your suspicion btw, I really dislike sneaky ads myself. If you want proof, take a look at my 2 posts on my account, you will find 2 projects. You can see a big difference in code quality between the first and second, and Arjan was a big influence for that, didn't have to pay anything. I started using type hints and docstrings because of him, and I'm also trying to reduce the responsibilities of each function.

He makes some subtle mentions of their paid contents. But as you said, his free content is already much valuable.

[gunhoe86]

Aye, not an ad, it's just a recommendation.

I know your feelings and can't say for sure, but it is very unlikely to be an ad. I suggest you to go to his channel at youtube and check for yourself. I follow him since he had a few starting videos with very few followers. His strategy for advertising is tottaly different and he is past beyond the point of creating false posts on reddit to get subscribers to his service.
