I'd been trying to teach myself coding from various books & online resources without much success.
The biggest hurdle I came up against was understanding the terminologies used, time and time again I would read the descriptions of certain words like variables, loops, lists etc & no matter how many times I read them & watched YouTube videos about them, nothing seemed to sink into my brain.
I decided that I am both too old and too stupid to be able to code, as a result I lost hope and resigned myself to growing old with a cardigan and pair of slippers by the fire.
Then I stumbled upon one of Stefan's YouTube videos on being too old to code, after an exchange of comments I took the plunge and purchased his Python course and it really was the smartest thing I've done.
Stefan seems to have a knack (ability) for explaining things in a very easy to understand manner, he's also excellent at replying to emails.
I'm a little over half way through the course & the fog seems to be lifting, as soon as I'm competent with Python I'll be taking his full stack web developer course.
I really can't recommend Stefan's course highly enough.
Here in the UK we have a saying 'It's a ten from Len' and this most definitely applies to Stefan's Python course

I'm a small businessman in a very big, competitive city. I have an idea for a web application that can really enhance my business if I can get it written (I have no programming experience at all). However, I find that the expense is too large for me to pay to have it written for me. So, I found an online tutorial for html and css. These two written tutorials got me started - I learned some tags, but not how to write a web page. I then bought a php/mySQL book for beginners. I worked through all 400+ pages and the accompanying CD. At the end of all this work I was intellectually excited to continue learning, but STILL could not do anything functional for my business.

Then I found killerphp.com.. I did their php and mySQL videos and WOW - I got real, usable information in a structured format that makes perfect sense. I just purchased the web design video from killersites.com and can't wait to get started. By the time I complete all the videos I will be able to write a web page and connect it to a mySQL database using PHP. The video instructor, Stefan, is a talented teacher. He has created a resource that is perfect for the beginner that wants, or needs, to get some real work done.

Great little mini course on such a hot topic. I love these mini courses!
