My $50 Udemy Python course was a total game changer

I bought the '2024 Python Bootcamp' on sale last month, and it finally made functions and loops click for me. The instructor broke down each concept with small projects, like building a number guesser. Has anyone else found a specific course that really helped them get past a sticking point?

Actually, the best thing that ever happened for my coding was getting stuck and having to fix my own broken projects. Courses give you the pieces, but you only really learn how functions work when yours breaks at 2 AM and you have to trace through every step. That messy, frustrating process of debugging a real thing you built, even a small one, teaches more than any perfect tutorial example. It's the difference between following a recipe and knowing how to actually cook.

See, I get where you're coming from, but that 2 AM struggle just burned me out. I learned way more from well-structured courses that built up to a complete project, because they showed me how to avoid those messy breaks in the first place. For me, hitting a wall on my own just meant wasting hours on a dumb typo I couldn't see.
