This is great for anyone looking for a refresher or starting from zero. It’s challenging and forces you to think instead of just memorize and move on.

I loved the learning approach i-e introducing a concept and immediately following it up with hands-on tasks. This method makes it much easier to grasp each concept, and because you're applying what you just learned right away, it sticks in your memory far better than passive learning alone. Highly recommended for anyone just starting out.

It's a little fast paced with not much chances to practice what you've learned in the lessons themselves but there is a challenge area where you can practice whatever you want and its very easy to go back to previous lessons and go over them again. It's also a very move at your own pace kind of course which I like.

Yes. This course assumes no programming experience. It starts with variables and functions, then builds up to loops, data structures, testing, debugging, and error handling through hands-on coding exercises.
