Very interactive type of learning , makes you think and encourages active learning rather than passive learning which we do in tutorials , and spend time wasting in tutorial hell

Learn to Code in Python
This was a great way to dive into Python, and though I'm typically a luddite when it comes to AI, Boots is a really helpful resource when you're looking to learn more of the 'why' behind the code. Also, ALWAYS LOOK AT THEIR ANSWER AFTER YOU PASS! You may think your solution is brilliant because it used 4 lines of code, just to discover it could be done in 1.
