Ah, it looks like you used the wrong operator! Which one do you think will subtract from her health (instead of adding to it) in your take_damage function?

This was an amazing way to study python and a great introduction to coding. for many years i feared studying this because of the difficulty of it, but with this platform it made everything so much friendlier that i enjoyed it!

It covers all the topics you need to get started, doesn't gloss over nuances, and sets you up well for more advanced Python concepts down the line. The frequent quizzes and practical examples provide great reinforcement throughout, and you can only progress to the next topic once you've completed the coding exercises — which keeps you honest. The built-in AI assistant (Boots) is a nice touch too, always on hand to guide you without just handing you the answer.

Touches on all essential aspects of the language. Most tasks arent that challenging, so not ideal for someone familiar with another language already, but you can always do personal projects on the side to apply the things you learned along the way.

Peak course. Peak website. Peak learning. So far, my most favorite app, when it comes to learning computer science. I hope, that we will way more content in here, since it is a pretty "new (2019)" platform.

The gamification was surprisingly motivating, and the AI chat feature (with a penalty) was so helpful, it could see my code and usually pushed me in the correct direction right away.

I used boot.dev to learn Python, and despite never seeing a line of Python before it was easy to understand and learn as boot.dev slowly and clearly guides you through concepts and uses repeated practice scenarios to really hammer home understanding. You'd be surprised how confidently you can tackle the practice scenarios at the end of the course!

Great course to get started, not too easy but not too hard either and the assignments are framed in a way that is easy to understand.

Some folks look at the job data and assume that front-end positions are the only option for new learners. On the contrary, there is big demand for backend and data-oriented positions!
If you like working with data, logic, and servers, you might just enjoy the back-end, data-focused curriculum here on Boot.dev. And similar to the frontend, most data and backend positions don't require a specific degree from a university... but you do need to know your stuff!
