+ 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is due to numerous + issues with the material, which include being extremely opinionated and sometimes + condescending, out of date, confusing and even wildly incorrect in some places. +
++ 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 + XY Problem. +
++ For more information on why you should avoid Learn Python the Hard Way, you can have a look + at this article on the sopython wiki, + which enumerates the most egregious issues with it. +
