The video tutorials in particular are really helpful and the tasks are well laid out. The difficulty increase is steady, it doesn’t jump around, unlike other resources.

Python in Pieces program is simply brilliant. Being a long standing user of block-style code. I found myself easily transitioning to the python script and the modules went on.
