Why this course rocks

The course consists of 4-8 minute tutorials covering a topic, and separate exercises where the topic is covered as a hands-on coding challenge. It aims to give you a solid understanding of the basic concepts in Python programming.

As with all Scrimba courses, you can stop, test, modify or spin-off the code at any time. This makes for a more immersive experience and is one of the greatest benefits with the Scrimba platform.

BUT! It only works if you do, so use the opportunity. Don't just watch the talkthroughs, work through them, play, experiment, fail and learn! That is how you become great. You got this!
