I already knew a tiny bit of python from a youtube video but I never actually finished anything, I would just copy what the guy typed and then forget it. Here you have to type it yourself and guess what it will print BEFORE you run it, which I got wrong a lot at the start. I finished the whole bakery program and it runs. Took me about 3 weeks doing it after school. The price tags lesson was my favorite because before that I had two lists and they kept getting mixed up.

great, but hard on an ipad

The lessons are great and I learned a lot about variables. Only thing is I do it on an ipad sometimes and the symbols are really annoying to type, like the brackets and the quote marks. On my dads laptop its completely fine.
