Update: I spent $300 on a coding bootcamp video series that was way too hard

I bought a big online course last month that promised to teach Python from scratch. The first few videos were okay, but by week two they jumped straight into building a web app with a database. I got totally lost and couldn't finish any of the projects. Has anyone found a good beginner course that actually starts slow?

Which bootcamp was it? I've seen a few that rush through the basics way too fast. What part of the web app project made you feel stuck?

Good question, @john648. The bootcamp rushed past connecting the front end to a real database, which left me totally lost. That gap made the whole project feel impossible to finish on my own.
