It was a great idea (and one I haven’t seen done before) to have such an extensive onboarding tutorial.
I came across RP when I was searching for best practices in laying our a Python application. I found “Python Application Layouts: A Reference” and it was perfect for what I wanted. I also found RP in doing some other searches and had the same results.
So, I am now subscribed for a year and looking forward to the tutorials I have seen.

Great course, I really enjoyed watching it and feel happy about joining the community. I joined the Slack community and also got good information and insights about how to learn and using Real Python in an efficient way. Thanks! :)

I really thought about subscribing to Real Python because the website seemed so… confusing. So I bought the Python Basics Book of Real Python to have a more “chapter by chapter” workflow for learning Python. After buying the Book, there is this 14 Day Trial you can use before you have to pay $19 for the sub. So I tried it and now after this course everything is way cleared for me and I think about hold my sub after the 14 days :)

Thank you, you inspire me not only for better knowledge about Python “galaxy” but also for pedagogies and ideas for teaching online

Not many sites takes the trouble to explain how to use the comments section especially when inserting code-snippets.
I have to admit this is really great on-boarding!

This was useful to understand RP site and what is available. Now to pick a topic and go deep.

I’ve been listening to the Podcasts for quite some time and have dipped into some of the topics that were available without subscription. Finally took the plunge to officially join the RP community today. Thanks to Dan and the RP team for providing a valuable learning environment.
