Anyone got any good courses to take? I have 0 experience, last time i coded anything was over a decade ago, and I'm looking for something that's fairly hand-holdy. There's a '100 day boot camp' course thing on udemy but given that it apparently just got hacked, I dont know if it'll be a good idea to get the course till i can find out if my account was compromised.

are u talking about the Angela yu course ?

yeah

i have purchased it
but i think it is little bit outdated, but it is still a good course to refresh your programming skills

how's it outdated?

some middle part of the consist a major focus on things like tkinkter and others which are considered outdated by some individuals but still are good tools for beginners

Libraries depend on your path:

backend → Django/FastAPI
data → pandas, numpy
ML → PyTorch, scikit-learn Pick one direction early instead of trying to learn everything.

I built a file deduplication script for my own workflow – MD5-based, catches duplicates even with different filenames. Happy to share the logic if anyone's interested.
