I found it very friendly if you have never code in Python before. I had some knowledge but here I could understand every "sentence" of code much better. I strongly recommended to start programming. Thank you. And teacher is great!! I love his entusiasm

This course was really helpful. It has given me a better understanding of programming, and as I plan to pursue Robotics in the future, learning python from the basic was important. The course covers the initial steps required to get started with python

I took four python intro courses from LinkedIn Learning prior to this course but it was still foggy with question marks in my head. This course cleared the fog like a magic! I started understanding the codes much clearer. Thanks, Prof. Severus Snape!

Dr Russell is the best instructor for python. I wish I could learn more from him. the only thing that I didn't like about this course was the first 3 or 4 weeks could be in just one chapter and instead more example could be added to the course. Thanks!

Pasas de 0 a 100, en un instante. Literalmente, hace unas semanas no sabía NADA de programación, ni mucho menos que era un lenguaje de programación. Hoy, ya sé hacer un programa que calcule la tasa de interés simple, es muy básico, pero es el comienzo.

very introductive, suitable for someone without computer science background. The basic coding language is not only used in Python, or in other word, this first course won't let you know any basics about Python. The knowledge applies to C++ etc as well.

Very useful course for the beginners in the programming.But for students who know aleast one language it's like they only have to know the syntax of the python so it's better there is another course which is for students who know atleatst one language.

Great course for going from zero knowledge of Python to feeling comfortable in the Python environment. Even covers installation! It's a little slow at first if you have any programming/command line experience, but hits stride after the first few weeks.

Really good for beginners as it's not hard to grasp , and the bonus interviews are very inspiring and they give you valuable information about projects that you might have heard of ,but never knew what they actually were .

In brief , it's really great .

Great course, with great supporting material. The interactive book along with the video lessons are truly wonderful. The book goes into great detail and the video lessons act as reinforcements of what you learned. The teacher is fun and engaging. 10/10

I'm a M.D. with a great interest on Neurosciences, so this course is perfect for my future perspectives as a "basic researcher". I would love to learn more about Python, Machine Learning and Neuro-Networks.

I highly recommend this course for beginners.
