Good old Udemy Elixr/Pheonix courses being irrelevant within 6 months but still trying to con people by saying they're updated to current year.

Has python changed that much for a new learner that a 3.8 tutorial is worthless in 3.13?
I don't think so...there's new features that wouldn't be taught, but most everything from Hello World to decorators and lambdas were present in both.
Now, if you have a python 2 guide....yeah. That's worthless. That shows its flaws during "Hello World".
Well the last version I was actively using was 3.6 and the shiniest new feature I remember is switch cases from 3.7, so yes it has for me
I think each of 3.8 through 3.11 were substantial, just in different ways.
I believe it! One glimpse at the latest docs tells me that every major builtin library I knew is depreciated or gone. I'm not even sure if
secretsis still the correct encryption library. Honestly I might have to start fresh with Python like it's a new language
