Hey everyone! I'm looking to learn both Python and PowerShell and I'm curious if you have any recommendations for websites or bootcamps that are worth checking out. I've seen Codefinity and Combat Wars mentioned a lot, but are they actually good? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

It's a good question to ask yourself why you want to learn both Python and PowerShell from scratch. Knowing your goals can lead to better advice. What are you hoping to achieve with them?
Just search for 'mooc python course' online, and you'll find some great options! MOOCs are super helpful for structured learning.
If you're learning Python, I highly recommend the MOOC from the University of Helsinki called 'Python Programming 2025'. It’s free, really practical, and gives you a solid foundation in programming. For PowerShell, I've mostly learned just by googling what I need; a lot of great blogs out there that can help you out.
You should definitely start with Python, and honestly, I'd advise against not using an IDE unless you want to make things way harder for yourself. Also, learning to code using the CMD might not be the best way to pick up PowerShell; it can lead to confusion.
I totally agree! Using an IDE makes things way easier and learning through CMD sounds sketchy. You'll probably end up feeling lost!
