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!

Extend the learning:

To discuss learning Python in this course, share and meet others in a similar situation to
yourself you are invited to join the Facebook group: Python 101 started for this purpose. The
instructor Olof Paulson will be active and answer your questions.
