I think it's pretty good and free. I used it a while back to also brush up on my code skills.

It helps to learn basic syntax but not algorithms or data structures. If you have enough time, I'd recommend a MOOC on edx or cousera, for example introduction to computer science and programming using python from MIT.

Something about me is both a curse and a blessing - I can't ignore what is not clear, logical, aligned, and simple.

This is what helped me excel at studies. At work, my obsession makes it hard for people around me. If people complain about me, should I just let it go or change my approach?

The total deal is only $5,000 (which is an insanely good deal) but the time to fix these documents is going to exceed that. How would you deal with this?
