A solid introduction to React, and lots of complex code to work through. Certainly a challenging course, some of the videos feel a bit out of date at times, but that's the nature of React, it's constantly evolving. Despite the complexity of the overall course, the material was explained well and was brought together with the project at the end.

Python Advanced was a tough one, especially at the final project. An advantage to learning it through SheCodes is that Matt explains the process well, and talks through what he has done to ensure it soaks in. Matt really puts you at ease regarding making errors, and really just encourages you to keep trying, and backtrack if needed. I've said it before, but he is a great teacher and that makes half of the course.
