An amazing way to learn how to code! After completing a lesson you can ask the Boots AI to help you understand the solution and to dig deeper with the concept learned in the lesson.

The course is completely beginner friendly, concepts are explained in simple manner and you will be tested in each chapter of the course. The course requires you to push just a bit more if you are completely new to programming.

It's a great platform, even for me, that already has a background in programming. Very funny and detailed about diferent situations you could get eventually, it's one of best courses I did. For freecodecamp platform students, they will love this platform.

I like the fact that we learn python in interactive way and assignments are challenging. If we get stuck we get help from boots. We learn in a fun and not boring way.

at first the python course looked confusing but with Boots, it was easier to understand my mistakes and learn from them, and the lessons were mostly straight-forward.

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!
