A paid, instructor-guided Python programming course from O'Reilly School of Technology, aimed at learners who want more context and exploration than hands-on exercise sequences provide.

One commenter, who left an earlier Udacity Python course, says the O'Reilly course felt like they were actually learning something, though it is not free.

    As someone who is vaguely familiar with programming and got about 1/2 way through the Udacity Python course I was disappointed with the education I received. Udacity courses seem to gamify to the extreme, giving hyper-specific tasks and immediate feedback without that much context or exploration.

    I decided to sign up for an O'Reilly School of Technology course instead. Yes it's not free, but I fee like I am actually learning something.
