Learn Python for Beginners

Good course, especially for people who have not used python in a while. A good recap of the logic and syntax differences and information about the nuances between python versions is helpful.

Learn Python for Beginners

Yeah even though this course got a lot of questions, I clearly think I learned a lot of concepts. Actually in my 12th grade I had a computer science course so I do learn Python. It was much more application. I just learned to learn the syntax over there and just read and write and just study for my book purpose and such but here I really learned how to use logic in order to solve a problem or code. This course was really useful for me to develop my coding language and logical thinking in the cod
