How much does zuzu.codes cost?

The starter track is free — read all lessons and practice for free. Full access to every track (current and future) is $14.99/month. Cancel anytime.

How long does each track take?

Each track is designed as a 30-day challenge — one lesson per day, about 15 minutes each. Go at your own pace, but the structure is built around daily consistency.

What's the lesson format?

Each lesson is a student-teacher dialogue with code examples, followed by a hands-on code challenge in an in-browser editor. You read, you understand, then you write real code.

Do I need prior coding experience?

Our beginner track starts from absolute zero — no prior experience needed. Advanced tracks build on earlier ones, and the platform tells you exactly where to start.

How is zuzu.codes different from freeCodeCamp or Codecademy?

zuzu.codes uses a structured 30-day track format with dialogue-based teaching, an in-browser code editor, and gamification (XP, streaks, progress tracking). The format builds genuine understanding through daily practice.

Python for Beginners — Where Are You Starting? — Python For Beginners

Day 1 · ~11 min●

Before you write a single line of code, rate where you are today. This isn't a test — it's a baseline.

Can I rate myself a 1 on everything if I've genuinely never done this?

Especially then. A 1 on every row is the most honest answer you can give, and it's exactly as valid as a 5. Nothing about your rating unlocks or locks content.

And what happens with these answers?

Nothing today. On Day 30 you'll answer the same six questions again. The gap between your Day 1 numbers and your Day 30 numbers is the clearest proof of what you built. Nobody else sees this — rate honestly.

How this track works

Thirty days. One real project: a personal expense tracker. By Day 28 you'll have working Python that groups expenses by category, calculates totals, and prints a clean monthly report.

What each week covers

Week	Focus
1	Variables, f-strings, dicts — how Python holds data
2	Conditionals, loops, functions, `try/except`
3	List ops — sort, filter, aggregate
4	Composition + capstone tracker

Every lesson is a short Socratic conversation plus one small coding challenge. Tests tell you immediately what went wrong.

1.I can store a value in a variable and use it later in my code.

2.I can write a function that takes inputs and returns a result.

3.I can write a loop that processes every item in a list.

4.I can use a dictionary to store and retrieve data by key.

5.I can read data from a file using Python.

6.I can handle errors in my code without crashing the program.
