Learn Python the Hard Way was one of the first ways I tried to learn programming. It didn't end up working for me. It focuses on repetition rather than a conceptual understanding of what you're doing. But when I finally took a class and realized what I had been doing with all that practice I came to really appreciate how comprehensive it is. I won't use it myself, but I'm glad that something like Learn Python the Hard Way exists
- rz2k 9y agoI had the same experience, and thought it was the opposite of what the title implied. Rather than being more work up front for much easier progress, it seemed like a lot of easy typing things you don't understand and therefore making slow progress. However, I generally prefer learning concepts first, with practical application later, so it could have just been a personal preference.
