'High Quality'"The cards and their box are high quality. I like the card stock they used quite a bit. . . . useful for refreshing yourself on the basics of Python. If you have students, this set may prove quite useful for them." —Mike Driscoll, Mouse v Python |
'Really Work Well'"[The] cards are great. I think they really work well for getting kids thinking about one concept rather than the entire ocean of Python." —Sean Tibor, Teaching Python |
'Essential'"Learning the Python programming language is as essential to today's young as knowing math, say some experts. Whether or not that's true, Python is a huge improvement over any we've tried . . . If you're curious about Python, take it for a spin." —Joy Schwabach, Arkansas Democrat Gazette's On Computers |

Honestly at first I was mad they were this big. But then I thought ”wait slick I can still fit this in a backpack and I will never lose them.” They are thick quality cards and this box is textbook hardcover THICK so it's not breaking anytime soon I think.
If the content sucks ill update later but if this comment isn't updated in still happy with my purchase.
Contains actual code snips on stuff I'm really learning in my SWE degree in college. Honestly I couldn't be happier. The first language learn is very important cause it will be your dominant one (lookup interview languages) and I'm doing everything I can to make sure it python because statistically you get more job offers cause it's quicker in interviews. Banking on this (of course as a support material, not alone) to help me get into FAANG. Good luck people I hope this helps. Would buy again.
