Easy to follow, fun to do. Also has some links sprinkled here and there in case you want to read deeper into some aspects. Perfect course for you to see what coding actually looks like whether you intend to learn Python of any other language.

After returning back to learning coding again, I was lucky enough to have some foundation understanding of syntax and the such. Python and this course are such easy pick ups even for someone new. Its explained easily and honestly the BOOTS ai is an amazing companion to learning. Make sure you ask questions often even after completing a lesson to expand your knowledge and your foundational skills. This course was awesome. looking forward to doing more.

Well I am a nerd and I have choice paralysis that is why I was jumping between like 20 different courses and materials and topics to learn. This is what I needed I could not get myself to programming again after school at all. The problem for me seemed to be that I dont like setting up my own environment and stuff (or like it too much) I spend way more time on it that it needs to be (or none at all) and than it discoureges me from the course but here I open this on laptop I open this on pc

The beginner Python course on boot.dev was great. It kept things really fun, a stark contrast to the larger marketplace of coding courses that make you want to fall asleep. I now understand a solid chunk of the core basics of Python, and I am already thinking of the ways that I can write up some Python scripts to make my life easier. While I love AI Coding Agents as much as the next guy, I really think that it is extremely important now more than ever to actually really learn to code. Boot.dev!
