Tried learning Python with a book first, then switched to Codecademy's free course
I spent about two months trying to get through a big textbook, but I kept getting stuck on the examples and couldn't figure out how to apply it. I switched to the free Python 3 course on Codecademy last week and the interactive exercises where you type code right away made everything click so much faster. Has anyone else found that a hands-on platform worked better for them than just reading?

Totally get that shift from books to doing it yourself. I see it with my kids trying to learn guitar from a book versus just picking it up and messing around. The immediate feedback from actually typing the code and seeing what happens is a different kind of learning, it sticks better.
