Useful and straight to the point

The file-reading examples were handy, though I wished there was a tiny bit more practice with error handling.

Liked the API and web-data parts. I just wanted a couple more exercises before moving on.

Practical from the start

The small automations stood out, especially the way the course used short scripts to handle everyday tasks. I only wish the API section went a little deeper.

Easy to follow

The exercises were quick and the examples on reading and writing files made sense right away. I’d have liked one longer mini-project at the end.
