What you'll learn in this Python course
You'll build a real command-line application in Python that does data analysis on text files, or rather, entire novels like "Frankenstein," "Moby Dick," or "Pride and Prejudice." You'll be guided through the setup of a professional development environment using Python. This is the perfect first Python project for beginners.

It was good at incorporating previous lessons and it felt good to have everything working for a program I'd written myself.

I enjoyed what this course added onto what was previously discussed and taught in the previous lessons. I only wish it was a little longer though my only complaint is there's not always the most clear cut explanation of when your supposed to switch into the code editor after downloading it. This is quickly resolved on its own after realizing what you're putting into the shell doesn't work anymore but it could be made more clear.

great course to your python concepts by building something good.

Pretty good, builds off of "Learn Python for Beginners" course, but difficulty ramps up pretty fast here, be prepared, and read the assignments multiple times. Ask Boots for help if you get stuck, it's totally normal to do so.
