I think it was way better than i learned java in university. It was way more fun. I think the Projects could be a little bit cooler. But i think that will come when i will learn more about programming

This platform is amazing! I just completed 'Learn to Code in Python' almost entirely on my phone while on a cruise in Japan during my downtime!

This is quite an ideal introductory course for programming concepts in general, with the added bonus of teaching you fundamental python syntax in a fun way. To me, the difficulty felt well adjusted, just enough to get me thinking hard at certain points but not enough to demoralize me, though I guess this is subjective.
