My number one takeaway is that this course is completely different from any thing I have attempted for many years, the whole package of video lesson, interactive quiz and hands on coding right from the very beginning, is in my opinion the unique selling ingredient which sets it apart from anything I have seen before in my opinion.

On top of all that, there is a whole of menu of follow up and further reading resources that is provided making this a one-stop-shop for learning Python programming, I am so glad that I made the decision to join, I can’t wait to jump onto the next chapter.
