Hi Finxters! My name is Cristian SĂĄnchez and I wanted to leave my review for finxter.comâs “Become a Python Freelancer Course”. I am about 10% through the course and so far, I am very satisfied with the value that is included.
I had found Dr. Christian Mayerâs work while searching for books about Python on Amazon. I found his âLeaving the Rat Race with Pythonâ book and I read it. Then I bought Coffee Break Python as well to sharpen my Python skills. I liked what I learned in his âLeaving the rat race with Pythonâ book but I did not take action while reading it. After some time, realizing I was not moving forward fast enough I decided to check out his course. I read the information and then I decided to take the plunge and purchase it to motivate myself further.
I was surprised to find all the different services that are included with the course. It includes Finxter premium. A service that serves python puzzles for you to solve and tracks your progress based on your performance as measured against other users. I have quickly gone up to the Expert rank just because I wanted to get the certificate (and because itâs fun)! The course also includes several of Dr. Mayerâs books, including the two that I read and mentioned above. It also includes âCoffee Break Python Slicingâ, âCoffee Break Python Workbookâ, âCoffee Break Python Numpyâ, and âBrain Games Pythonâ for a total of 6 books. The course also includes Finxter Academy which has many courses on different topics related to Python. I have started watching the âTensorFlow – A Hands-On Introduction to Deep Learning and Neural Networks for Beginnersâ course which has been very exciting too. Additionally, after completing this course I can receive a certificate, which is sure to help demonstrate my knowledge of the topic.
I like that Dr. Mayer takes the time to interact with all his students and encourages us along the way. He also includes with the course your first gig on Upwork, which is a great opportunity to obtain feedback for a freelance task, potentially making it easier to get more work on the platform. I think that this course is giving me the tools that I need to get started as a Python freelancer online.
