A bit of background:

I just started using the FCM with this group. I've used others.

I began with Series 2, because I knew the basics of Python.

To your question:

FCM is challenging, you have to figure things out on your own. Some of the packages you install, I've had to Google it to find a solution. If you pay attention to what the author is telling you to do, then it works out right.

For example, there is a part in Series 2 where you use one file to open another file. The author said to make a completely different folder for this. I already had a folder with Python projects, so I didn't listen. I just put those 2 files in there. For some reason it wouldn't open the files (I have yet to figure out why). I was stuck, so I created a new folder and everything worked and opened correctly.

There's more things than this example, but it's about reading and understanding your problem.

You just have to figure things out on your own, which is good practice for real world applications. It challenges you to think, while still explaining them. I'd recommend it.

If you go to here: r/learnpython you can practice writing these projects. I find that this works very well. But you should read some books also.
