12. Personal Project 1
You can't truly become a developer if you can't build your own stuff. Theory and foundations are important, but you also need to be able to fly solo. The purpose of this project is two-fold: a chance to put your skills into practice and to add another project to your portfolio. Well-built personal projects will help you land interviews and jobs, so make sure to put in the effort!

I found myself excited to sit down and do a lesson every day. It became the highlight of my day to learn Python. The course was really easy to follow, but it had a few lessons that legitimately stumped me. It was so satisfying to finally find an answer, and I think that's what makes this course so great.

This course was amazing! It broke down each programming concept in a simple yet thoughtful way! Everything taught here is relevant and I personally learned a ton of concepts that carryover to other languages!

Learn Python for Beginners
I've decided to come back to coding after a while and I needed something that I could do at my own pace. I've tried joining a bootcamp before but the schedules didn't work out so I was looking for a solo adventure and this hit the spot. The whole thing playing like a game kept me coming back for more.
