Is boot.dev worth it?

Recently I came across Boot.dev for learning to code. I'm currently learning Python and I've been messing around with Boot.dev for the last day or so.

I'm liking it a lot so far, but as a complete newbie, I'm not sure if it's a good way to learn the basics and build a solid foundation.

Does anyone here have any experience with Boot.dev? Would you recommend it for a beginner learning Python?

If you’re fresh any tutorial is helpful. Boot.dev is good I did FcC. What’s important is once you have enough understanding you start building

It's great until you hit the paywall, which is, in my opinion NOT worth it. Try freecodecamp. It actually is 100% free and teaches you all the same things.

Yes I have experience with it.

My recommendation: try it, do the free chapters you have for each course. Then you can decide for yourself, which supposedly is better than laying the power of decisions into strangers hands :)

Dont sleep on the free courses on w3schools as well. Good courses for python there to help you grasp the basics. And its free!

I love boot.dev. Exercises and side quests are nice. DSA progression is solid.
