The solutions provided also demonstrate how to make readable (pythonic) code, which I believe is the best feature." - Pradeep K
"I think PyBites is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I've used Hackerrank, Codesignal, Geeks2Geeks, TopCoder, Euler, Leetcode, etc, etc, etc. All of them have their good points and their uses, and some I still use regularly, but *PyBites* is the one that's most useful to me, clearest, and best put together. PyBites is helping me fill in gaps in my Python skills, and level up." - Andrew J

"By taking a couple of challenges a day, I managed to take in some more difficult concepts that I didn't understand before. ... Python has become interesting again and we don't get overwhelmed with useless information. It's a huge language, so sometimes you need a roadmap to get from point to point. You have done a tremendous job mapping this all out." - Cedric S
"PyBites exercises are a fantastic way to learn by doing. I've gained much more experience and confidence in my coding doing the bites on this site than I have in a couple of years of using books and video tutorials. I wish this site had existed when I first started learning Python, it would have made it much easier and more fun." - Rebecca M
"I noticed that when I learned the most was when I was using Python at work in real situations, solving real problem. This is exactly what PyBites is. ... I already can feel my fluency improving in just forcing myself to solve problems and seeing how the same problem can be solved in so many different ways and that is making my code more pythonic and also more efficient and cleaner." - Pedro J
"I've learnt many languages over the years, and the best way to do it's to write code and solve problems yourself. This platform allows you to do that, plus see other people takes, which allows you to improve even faster by comparing and learning from your mistakes." - Rafael R
"This platform for learning Python has been invaluable. I think it works well because it gives small challenges to complete every night that don't require too much time to get your head around. I've found it builds a strong habit that is needed to learn effectively." - Jonathan S
"PyBites is currently the best platform which follows the 'practicality' approach. The bites, exercises and challenges will bring a sense of solving problems which matches real world scenarios." - Vipin R

"As someone who doesn't get a chance to work in Python daily or even weekly sometimes, these exercises have really helped me stay grounded in Python as well as explore a lot of areas of the standard library I wasn't familiar with." - Rob M
"Loving PyBites so far! This is honestly a great platform for learning and sharpening up your skills with Python! I like the assortment of questions and the overall approach of practicing not only programming concepts but Python libraries and frameworks as well. Highly recommend! :)" - Sangeeta J
"Dennis Ritchie said: “The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it”. This saying is completely justified by PyBites!" - Mayank S
"I think one of the nicest things about this is that it's giving me the confidence to say I am a programmer. ... I think that's the biggest gain from this platform." - Sergio S
"This platform encompasses different aspects of logic that no book can teach you. ... In my opinion, you should stop reading how to, when to, why to, and just "do". The best way to learn is by putting yourself in uncomfortable situations and trying to become comfortable, that's what PyBites does for the aspiring Pythonista." - Samuel U
"PyBites was instrumental in getting me up to speed fast with Python after a career with other technologies. Not only was it directly responsible for helping me land a great job but it also exposed me to many different aspects of Python programming that crosses multiple disciplines, something that very few resources do." - Christo O
"Before beginning on PyBites, I took an in introductory course which I paid for. I've already learned more in the few weeks I've been on this site than the three months taking that course!" - Austin L
"This site has kept me coming back for over a year now, and I see a real improvement in my ability to code and solve problems in Python." - James W
"It's hard to describe how much I learned, even after doing only a few Bites of the Object Oriented Programming learning path. It was incredible, I got more confident and started to directly apply several concepts I learned. Then in July I got selected for an interview for a Data Scientist where I needed to deliver a project. ... I built a class to help with the solution, using various "dunder" methods, decorators and everything else I learned here." - Rodrigo B
"PyBites has a very welcoming community who are very helpful and make you feel like you are not alone. The challenges are very practical and help you to discover builtins and modules that you may not have known about." - Michael E

"Learning Python syntax and what sort of functionality is available in the standard library is not hard, using the official documentation. But learning how to really program in Python, using it WELL without reinventing any wheel, takes considerable practice AND exposure to code written by more experienced developers. PyBites will give you both with relatively little daily effort. Nothing like solving a bite and then comparing your solution to those of others, going through dozens of "aha! - that's nicer!" moments as you level up." - Danilo F
"Overall the PyBites is a great resource to jump in and begin coding in Python. Each bite showcases a certain topic in Python that helps establish the fundamentals of the language." - Jason C
"The PyBites community is the only community I return to frequently and where I can be sure that it meets my needs and always has the answers I'm looking for or provides just the right amount of energy to keep me engaged with what I'm doing or trying to achieve." - Michael A
"I'm glad I'm FINALLY working through the Bites. Not new to Python but the platform is great and even the Intro Bites are great practice. The optimized solutions are also great. I've been recommending pybit.es to my peers and my customers. It's great because you can get people comfortable with tests as well. Anything to keep them from thinking testing is only for advanced Pythonistas." - Cody R
"I found the PyBites platform while trying to understand the difference between a class, a function, and a module: I have been coding ever since. The PyBites platform has helped me gain confidence and belief that I can learn Python. If you have tried, or are currently trying, to self-study your way to Python success then this is the platform for you. You have to code if you want to get better at coding, PyBites can help you get there!" - Dabrien A
