Unfortunately not for me, not only does it explain the same information but less in depth as freecodecamp.org, but you're missing out on a cool certificate. It's not bad information it's just not that good, gave me a great start though.

... Way too over priced for what it is. Either go on Amazon and buy a good Python book, such as Python Crash Course (example), or better yet, spend 0 money, by loaning a Python book from your local library, or reading the Python guide on w3school or similar.

I'm on a DIY learning path and though "hmm, this is cheap, lets try it out". I'm still in the first chapter and already got a couple "Ooooh" moments where something I was kinda guesstimating most of the time finally was explained in a coherent manner. It is essentially a powerpoint presentation with exercises, which is a fresh breeze because all of the DIY documentation one can get about programming languages can be so darned cryptic if you have no idea where to start from.

In the section "How to and to not name variables in Python" the author teaches that naming a variable such as:[code] false = 3[/code] is a good naming practice. Instant refund.

Quite boring! I have tried multiple times to get into this but have struggled to maintain an interest. While I applaud the effort of the Developer, I just do not find the lessons intuitive. The opportunity to make an interesting and interactive platform for learning has been missed here - sorry! For such a text heavy tool, it has very limited interactivity, I might as well pick up a book to learn Python!

I bought this program to review & brush up on my Python skills after being out of the tech job market for a couple years. I would HIGHLY recommend this program to anyone else who's in a situation like this - not a new learner, but looking for a fairly comprehensive review of the basics. The devs call this a "game" but I'd have to disagree with the use of that term here.... nevertheless, this program has been fulfilling the purpose I got it for very well. I'm perfectly satisfied with it in that sense. For me personally, this program gets a 9/10. The only thing I'd change would be to add more exercises. I'd like to see more exercises throughout each of the modules, and also a few review exercises at the end of each module. But again, for the purpose of just reviewing Python basics like I'm doing, the lower volume of exercises isn't really an issue for me. However, in my own opinion, this is NOT a good way for people with no programming experience to learn Python. I think you'd be fine if you had experience with another programming language first, but for people who are completely new to programming entirely, I don't think this is the way to go - you just need more practice & actual experience with each concept than the exercises give you. If I were a completely new learner, I'd also want a lot more higher-level conceptual information about... everything. For example: why are strings immutable? When should you use elif instead of else? When you convert a float to an integer, why is it truncated instead of rounded? ....stuff like that. TLDR: perfect for reviewing your Python basics, but not a good fit for people who are completely new to programming.
