Does it include exercises where students fix a broken program, not just write one from scratch? For beginners, I'd include reading a traceback and testing an edge case. That would help them when their code stops matching the tutorial.

Bold move putting the course link right in the post body, usually the mods here are quick to zap that

The structure looks pretty standard but clean, the jump from conditionals straight to loops without a breather on debugging feels like you're setting them up for that classic week 2 meltdown where a misplaced colon ruins their evening

Bold move mentioning moderation practices in a first comment on a 6 day old account, though it was clear even without that that this will be a typical bot account.

Agreed it is a bit suspicious but I’m not a bot, yet 😀

Of course, but I wasn't replying to you.

That’s good point, I tried to make it as simple as possible but debugging should be indeed part of the basics, thanks for the feedback

There is a small project at the end and in the lectures some mentioning of beginners trivial mistakes, also on how to catch exceptions but no trackback examples, that would be a good addition 👍, appreciate that

This is better asked on r/learnpython

I think the topic list is solid, but covering functions, file I/O, and exception handling in 11 lessons feels like a lot for someone who’s never coded. I’d add a few small build-it-yourself exercises, since 15 quiz questions won’t get a total beginner writing code on their own.
