A great course with extremely simple language that was so easy to understand. The main thing that stood out for me were the assignments after each session which helps tremendously in improving the concepts and in-depth knowledge. Excellent way to start python language, you'll surely develop more interest in this language after this course. I suggest to do try this course. I am really satisfied with what i have learnt. Thank you so much!!!!!

I had fun doing this course! I learned a lot of useful techniques and I feel comfortable in programming in Python now. I feel that the assignments in Week 5 and Week 6 were a little complicated and could be extremely difficult for anyone experiencing this course as their first time coding. I, however, have had experience in programming in other languages so that seemed to help out in that area. Either way, great course and very enjoyable!

I really enjoyed this class. I learned a lot of new stuff while improving upon some of the things I was already familiar with. My only recommendations would be to include the answers to the questions that pop-up within the videos sometimes. There were a few instances where I could not figure the question out and just had to move on without ever knowing what I was doing wrong which would bother me as I at least wanted to see the solution.

This is a must to have course to those who are first time coding language learners and to those who are shifting to Python as other language. Seems there is lot to learn under Pyhton world. Its just the tip of the iceberg. The thing that matters most is a good start. The lesssons from the enthusisastic traner keeps you engaged and guides you perectly. It never felt that its prerecorded session, feeling of almost live learning experience.

The approach in this course is commendable. It goes through the basics of different data types like Strings, Lists, Dictionaries. It then slowly transitions to Object Oriented Programming. It was a surprise to see how easily a concept of Object Oriented Programming was explained. It's not just a plain python course for beginners. It's more than that! I learned how to make code more readable, new concepts and seeing programming in a flow.

The course was well thought out and well paced. The instructor was very effective. I was able to complete the entire course on my iPhone with only occasional challenges navigating the pages; for some reason the run button was often overlayed on top of the spot where I was trying to either read, scroll, or type. On a desktop or laptop I would imagine one would not have any of these issues. I feel I learned a lot in a short timeframe.

One of the most interesting Python courses I have ever attended. The course structure is very good and the assignments and quizzes are very interesting and engaging. You will have to work a lot in order to pass the quizzes if you are learning Python for the first time. Even for a non-beginner like me, I had to be really focused for the quizzes. The final project could have been a little more interesting though. All in all a good course.

Wonderful course in python so far !! Learned many new minute details about the syntax and semantics in python . A very disciplined course outline and structure makes it easy to beginners for grasping complex topics and diving into possibilities effortlessly. Thank you Christine Rafla for being a wonderful instructor, Hope to learn from more of your courses. Excited to start my new python journey ahead.

Thank you team Google and Coursera.

Thanks for a great course! I wasn't a complete newbie in Python and programming, but still, it was really challenging for me sometimes and interesting too! Also, love how you teach. Using functions from the start, real-world tasks and giving the material that students can use right away - I think it's great, as opposed to learning algorithms for a long time and only then learning how to manipulate strings, and dictionaries for examlpe.

This course is amazing! The instructor seems to be extremely enthusiastic about teaching and what she's teaching. I had some experience with Python before so this course is not challenging and I can still warm up my knowledge as well as learn some new stuff. However, for someone who has no previous experience in coding, this is not an easy course, but once you've completed it, it's rewarding! Overall, I highly recommend this course!

Instructor made the course fun and kept my attention. The instructor was a gem and hardly made any mistakes. I really like that the course tackled difficult concepts in the IT field but only focused our attention to what was needed in each lesson. No lesson overreached. I have read python crash course books and an interactive tutorials that were amazing but being able to read, listen, watch, and interact while learning is next level.

I'm very impressed. The information was presented clearly and the course structure seemed very well thought out. I work as a developer, so much of this was review, but I thought the clear way in which the topics were presented would would real well for someone who is a bit more of a beginner. This is the first tech course from Google that I've taken on Coursera. I plan to take more of their courses after seeing how nicely done it is.

The course was an awesome experience to me! I could develop and learn a lot of new things about Python syntax, data structure and OOP. The course was very clear, and I could enjoy my time while studying it. I am pretty sure that this course will help me so much to develop my professional skills and I am looking forward to keep all the other courses of this specialization to have a chance to get good opportunities on the job market.

As I am from an electronics background, I started with basics steps by watching some youtube videos on Python. It's always about the curiosity and interest that has to developed whenever you are starting to learn a new skill apart from your curriculum. So ended up taking google crash course on Coursera and this really helped me broaden my knowledge in Python. Thanks to Google for making this course feasible and easy to understand.

A great place to start out with Python. Little to no experience beyond basic computer usage required. For experienced programmers learning python, this course is probably doable in a week or two if you have a few hours per day to put in. Will leave you with a good foundation in Python, but will require the next course in this series to get that real world project capability (writing full scripts, interacting with files/the OS).

All I can say is that Google and every member of the team has made such a wonderful job delivering this course, I have already been tackling python but not from the right start.Taking this course was like building the missed base all over, which made me able to understand many concepts and put all the terminology in my head, but this time, in the right place. I recommend this course for everyone who wants to learn what Python is.

The course is good with a good instructor and good videos. The cheat sheets provided are especially helpful. Although I have had previous experience with other programming languages, this course is very beginner freindly in my opinion. For those with prior programming experience, I would recommend watching the videos at 1.25x speed. I did have some issues with the final project but that was resolved using the discussion forums.

Although I was not a python begginer, I enjoyed this course. The programme includes many exercises which indeed help users to understand basic structures and to work on many practical examples with strings, lists and dictionaries. I also found the optional object-orienting programming module helpful, it can be used practically to many applications. There is always some guidance to solve the exercises for the people who need it.

This was an awesome, entry-level dive into Python! I love the production quality and attention to detail that Google has in their Coursera courses. I know that this material is widely available online for free, but having it presented in such a clear way is definitely worth paying for (or just auditing) this class to get started using Python ASAP. I can't wait to keep cracking away at these courses over the next few months!

It is an excellent course for the beginner, you will Grasp the basic concepts for the python, you will be playing with the loops and functions. The final project is simply amazing, quizzes are easy and the assignments will be slightly tough, but you can tackle it with your skills, you will learn a lot, discussion forum people and mentors will help you. Thanks, Coursera. Never stop learning because life never stops teaching.

I loved the course. For some reason I couldn't follow my own schedule and had to rush through a the end, when I realized I have to complete it by the given date. But I found a lot of the valuable information in the course, and for as long as I have access to the course, I will revisit and finish taking the notes on the lessons. Explanations are clear, assignments are useful, and practice is valuable. Great course overall!

Excellent course, all concepts were very clearly explained and the readings were perfect for reviewing concept. The instructor is very clear and enthusiastic in her approach. For me it was a refresher, as I had learnt Python before, but I would definitely recommend this for newcomers to programming as well. The optional Object-oriented programming section is by far one of the best introductions to the topic I have seen

Overall it was a great course. I would not say it's completely beginner friendly. Those who already have some knowledge or working experience with Python or any other programming language would easily get over this. But for the complete beginners even for the other they have to put their full effort to get something out of it. And try to learn more from official documentation or any other resource on your own. Thanks

I was already familiar with ~85% of this material, so it was mostly just a review; however, I can honestly attest that this was the best teaching format that i have come across yet, and I have taken older Coursera Py courses that were not nearly to this level. Of course nothing beat the learning from real projects were you are stuck for hours into the night, but this instruction approach was very well orchestrated! :)

Google has done an amazing job. The course is well designed and executed. I am a student with a technical background and initially I found the pace to be slow and more focused on the course participants with less technical knowledge, but as the course progressed, some assignment questions became challenging and some concepts took time to understand. Overall, a must take course if you want to get started with Python.
