+ <strong>What's wrong with "Learn Python the Hard Way"?</strong>
+ </div>
+ <div class="uk-width-2-3@m">
+ <p>
+ Learn Python the Hard Way, Zed Shaw's most infamous work, is largely considered by the
+ Python community to be poor-quality and misleading in general. This is due to numerous
+ issues with the material, which include being extremely opinionated and sometimes
+ condescending, out of date, confusing and even wildly incorrect in some places.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Learners that have used Learn Python the Hard Way as their primary learning material often
+ find themselves confused and asking questions that really don't make that much sense - it's
+ also been observed that learners in this position tend to suffer heavily from the infamous
+ <a href="http://xyproblem.info/">XY Problem</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ For more information on why you should avoid Learn Python the Hard Way, you can have a look
+ at <a href="https://sopython.com/wiki/LPTHW_Complaints">this article on the sopython wiki</a>,
+ which enumerates the most egregious issues with it.
