Hope you had a wonderful holiday! I know you might not have been able to take time off, but I hope you were able to spend some time with family and friends.
As a Boot.dev student, you may have encountered frustrating moments when your code editor freezes or is stuck “Setting up your environment”, leaving you wondering what went wrong.
GitHub has been re-founded on copilot, rumors of an AI superior to GPT-4 abound, and you’re trying to decide if it’s worth it to learn what a red-black tree is.

If you’re looking for good web development books, you’re probably interested in becoming a web developer.
The best part of working on Boot.dev is seeing you all make almost unbelievable strides in not only your understanding of fundamental concepts, but what you can now build from scratch.
I love giving a short answer to these: yes, 100%, Python is a great tool for web development.

Several years ago I started my first job as a “senior” Go developer. You see, after a modest 3 years in the industry, my arcane ability to use the Go standard library’s strings.
