If you completed the Python course and the C course before this, this course shows how simple and quick is Go. The understanding of this course is quick and powerful

Learn SQL
I already knew a lot of this, but wanted to start from 0 again to really cement some of my knowledge and give myself a solid foundation to continue on with, and It really helped there. It also introduced a few nuances I hadn't run into before, either in classes or in my professional experience, such as type hinting. I think it's a well-paced and clear course in getting a solid introduction to the basics of Python.

I tried multiple beginner python courses before this and so far this has been a good combination of good implementation of new concepts with enough depth to understand and use content in later lessons.

I learned a lot, if you don't focus much on the xp thing it's a good tool for learning, if the xp is what fuels you, then that's even better.

Brilliant course for learning python. I have previous experience coding in c++, C# and HTML so some of the programming fundamentals were easier to grasp, however the course itself does a good job at covering it all. The occasional use of the AI assistant might be needed, however having the spellbook to quickly reference topics covered beats finding it yourself in documentation

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!
