Hi Cheri,

I have deleted the multiple questions regarding the same question you posted to the community all approximately 2 minutes apart. Doing this will not get you an answer faster, but it will upset many who are on the forum to help and/or learn. I have now observed this done twice by you.

I'm sorry I'm not familiar at all with Python, or I would offer my help.

In the future, please only post a question once. If you do not get a reply, you can use the search box in the communtiy to see if a similar question was asked in the past. If you still haven't solved your problem in a day or so, you could email Treehouse support.

Thank-you. Jason

Jason,

Thank you for your input. Regretfully I have the information to know that this style of learning is not a good fit for me so I do not plan to extend the free trial past the 14 day period. If you wish to report feedback to the Treehouse Team, the bottom line is that I do not know enough computer knowledge to answer these questions and find it extremely frustrating to have to wait on a random person for assistance. This model of learning is designed for people who have some skill level in programming. I am extremely frustrated and disappointed but at least cancelling this trial enable me to find a way to learn to programming that isn't so frustrating.

Thank you once again for your input.

I'm sorry you're not finding your Treehouse experience rewarding or what you thought it would be. I do regret that you are frustrated, and usually there are many people in the Community forums that answer questions.

Python is one of the more complex and complicated programming languages to learn. Unless your immediate plans require you to know Python, I would recommend starting off with some of the Front-End development languages (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and then work your way to the backend languages.

Again I regret you found Treehouse could not give you what you needed. Good luck and Keep Coding! :)
