I have had LPTHW for probably 10 years. I started it a long time ago and decided to start going through it again. I got to about lesson 39 and decided to buy the new version that it was prompting to me. I see that its 2023-2024 but looks to still be unfinished. No videos explaining the steps. Am I in the correct one or did that project get sidelined? Also would I be better off just going back to the old one and just finishing up with it?

Yes, sadly I botched that edition and am going to redo the whole thing. I'm also trying to get people to stop learning Python as the Python project is effectively completely owned by Microsoft so it doesn't really work well for beginners on Windows. Python is also hard to install, package management is difficult, distributing it is hard, and it's not really as easy as it was.
These days I tell beginners to learn Go, as it does everything Python does and is way easier to learn and use. Install on every platform is easy, the language is simpler, the features are better, performance is better, almost everything about Go is better for beginners.
