I think this course is great at teaching the fundamentals of python. I took a Java fundamentals course in college that wasn't anywhere near as good as the way this Boot.dev course was set up. I can't wait to see the other courses.

This program takes a very trial and error approach which I think is the best way to learn any kind of coding. I've been to college and taken separate online courses for coding, and this has been the best so far.

Taking this course as someone with a history in programming C++, this course does well to explain concepts to you, then be able to give you lessons that help reinforce the concept before moving on to harder ones that make you think about the solution. I certainly feel like taking this course in conjunction with the training area to further reinforce the lessons could give anyone a decent understanding of the basics of coding in python.

I've never paid for courses (in any field) before and in general I'm very picky when it comes to spending my money. This course was incredible and I feel like I've learned more than enough to continue with more courses. I bought the yearly subscription so I don't plan to stop here.

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!
