Learn Programming: Python - Remake

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.

It's good information, but if you're looking for anything other than reading, you'll not like it. There's no game - it's really just reading and answering questions at the end of each section... if you're looking for a "game" you're looking in the wrong place.

This is not a game that would interactively make you try python while teaching you as it seems, it is merely a lesson with multiple choices questions. I have spent less than 10 minutes on this game yet it had a process running in the background hoping you would not notice, in my case logging 4h50 of game time when I did not spent even a fraction of that, thus preventing any refund for those who don't like the "game".

I honestly believe for 3 dollars, this is not bad at all, and I see what others see as a negative, as it's own special plus: the filter of true learning. This will not be easy at first for most people, but as concepts take hold in the student's mind, it will filter out those who want it fast, easy, and lazy. It will challenge the right person at the right level, and make them earn that knowledge, not simply give it. It will absolutely not be for everyone, but will train the student in focus, tenacity, and persistence, which will pay off massive dividends later, in addition to the knowledge. Stay with concepts until they begin to click, and you WILL see results.

It's a shame that you're charging money for this. If you cared for education it would be a free online tool. This is not a game.

This is an eBook, not a game or interactive training tool. And the title is misleading, because it will not teach you to become a Python coder. I give it a recommendation because it serves well as a reference / refresher for the key elements of Python and of how those elements are commonly used. You will not learn Python coding by reading this. It would be the same as reading about playing the piano. In both situations you need to exercise to actually learn the skill. They should add a bunch of exercises to make it a true teaching tool. If you want to learn Python coding, go find one of the websites that teach it with an interactive course and lots of coding challenges, instead. My other gripe is that they do not really mark your progress. In the older edition of this eBook they did so. In this version they moved the progress tracker to a pretty useless sub-menu. Even better would have been a "continue" option in the main menu, which neither eBook has.
