The first thing you'll notice when you kick off Michael's course is that there's no fluff and that's why I absolutely love it. After the initial set up of the environment, he drops you straight into PEP8 recommended styling.
There is no lecturing, there's just code and it's amazing. Every single concept is backed up by real and "live" examples. Michael even leaves certain, relatable mistakes in the course just to demonstrate how easy it is to make them.
The production quality is high, better than many video courses in fact, and Michael comes across as confident and patient.
Are you kidding? By the end of first Mongo Quickstart coding example I was checking out colorama which was hardly mentioned, if at all. Watching the short on getting the code from GitHub lecture, I heard the best summary of branches ever. Those are not even core to the course!
For anyone who is on the fence, take the course, I was in the beginner ~ intermediate level and started his courses, immediate return on investment. Great teaching Michael!
