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 know some basics of Python through having to pick it up in my job, but I've always struggled with learning through tutorials and courses, I find them too dry and academical and lose interest quickly. This course was more engaging for me thanks to the scenarios and lessons feeling relevant for the real world. This is the first time I've managed to actually self-motivate myself to complete one of these courses and I've already put bits of what I've learned into use for my own work :)

Learn Python for Beginners
I was entirely new to coding and boot.dev was my first approach to learning it. It truly felt like playing a videogame. You start with very basic notions and then progress towards more advanced skills so that you can solve each lesson's assignment. Clocking in everyday and diving into the challenges felt as fun as solving sudokus or any other logic game of your liking. The Devs have made an excellent working of summing up clearly the content, and making each lesson fun and novel.

its very addicting lesson truly they are, and i noticed that i waste some time to think and come up with the answer when some time past syntaxes forgot, i think if we can access it very well with the keywords that would be great, spell book search not helpfully in that much
