About the Course

This course is designed to teach you the foundations in order to write simple programs in Python using the most common structures. No previous exposure to programming is needed. By the end of this course, you will understand the benefits of programming in IT roles; understand basic Python syntax; explore different code editors and developer environments; be able to write simple programs using Python; figure out how the building blocks of programming fit together; and combine all of this knowledge to solve a complex programming problem. We'll start off by diving into the basics of writing a computer program. Along the way, you’ll get hands-on experience with programming concepts through interactive exercises and real-world examples. You’ll quickly start to see how computers can perform a multitude of tasks — you just have to write code that tells them what to do....

Very good crash course. Considering myself not a Python novice, maybe intermediate level, I even learned something new. Don't expect to be a Python expert after this, though, as it is a crash course.

This is actually a really great start for beginners in python. I am an intermediate python developer so for me it was too basic, but still a nice refresher for all the basics that we sometimes forget.

It is a good course for beginners in Python but not the best for beginners in programming! I had knowledge about other programming languages so I was comfortable throughout it. Although, had it been my first course in programming, I would have faced lot of problems. But overall, I enjoyed the course!

It's a great course for beginners. The basics of python are very interesting and very vast, of which the most important concepts are covered here. This course requires a lot of self-study to make yourself fluent in the language. Going through the documentation is a must alongside the course material.

Amazing course! One of the best...

The only thing: it would be great adding more problem solving, exercises, and a more complete Final Project that uses everything learned and that is more useful and realistic.

For example, I think that the Harvard's CS50p, as introduction in Python, is more complete.

a good baseline. the challanges were challanging but I suppose that's the whole point :)

I tried to push it all through in a week. it was a little much along a full time job but feels like i've learned a lot but as they keep repeating, it's a skill that needs constant review and use to stay relevant.

This introductory course to Python is very thorough. Although it doesn't go into a lot of detail in some concepts, it does cover a lot of ground. It does make you go out and do a little research for the projects, but that is to be expected, even on your job. I would definitely recommend this course.

Esta siendo util. He aprendido bastante, sobre todo en materia de Python, del que no conocía nada. Los laboratorios (y los Jupyter Notebooks) están bastante bien. Salvo uno que me tuvo +18 minutos en espera mientras cargaba. Por eso le he quitado una estrella.

Sigan trabajando igual que hasta ahora.

It's a great platform to learn from google and course was really excellent and straight forward i.e., I have gone through several youtube videos all are explaining lot of concepts but here they explained exactly what beginners or intermediate wants with high voltage explanation. Highly recommended.

The course was good and interactive .The course was full of fun .The concepts like object oriented programming should be explained more deeply . Course instructor was a good communicator I enjoyed learning . But the content is less for some concepts eg. sets ,oop please make a tutorial on those

Sometimes I would get stuck. I wish there were more examples, but more help in each example. Frustrating to get stuck and have no clue how to continue without googling, which often gives answer without any effort. I wish I could choose to do other similar ones until I felt I was able to continue.

É um ótimo curso introdutório. Ótima didatica porém deveria ter mais exemplos semelhantes com os do exercicios, muitas vezes teremos que procurar qual a logica dos exercícios na internet, especialmente no StackOverFlow para poder raciocinar qual o sentido da pergunta e assim responder a questão.

The course was great , with a lot of informtion . Teaching method of tutor was also great and was friendly. The best part of the course is its quizzes and assignments. Though i found that more solved examples could have been given so its easy for new learners to grasp and understand concepts.

Although I've learned the basic concepts of Automation with Python, this course runs really fast for beginners. I like how it introduces the general idea and expects learners to dive deeper on their own, but it contradicts the idea of taking a course where it promotes deep learning experience.

Great beginning course! The instructor was engaging and encouraging and I enjoyed the examples and problems. I'd like to see a few more docstrings and correct output to compare with my output in the Jupyter notebooks. The OOP coverage delved just far enough - it was too good to be optional.

It is a really nice break up of scripting concepts that would prove useful to any beginner or intermediate programmer or script writer, I definitely recommend this course to anyone trying to grasp the basic details of programming fundamentals and understanding strings and array structures.

It is daunting for a complete beginner to plunge headfirst into the world of Python programming. I'm glad that the instructor is very encouraging. Googling for solutions became quite easy, and I'm glad that there's plenty of answers out there. Very relieved to finally complete this course.

Covered much of the basics of programming in a logical, and systematic way. Had a lot of useful examples and user participation, especially for a pre-recorded online class. Maybe could have gone a touch faster, but when the user can watch videos on 2x speed, this really isn't an issue

The regular exercises and assignments throughout the course helped reinforce the concepts and its applications. Overall 5 start worthy had it not been the technical glitches with the code blocks and having to refresh the browser multiple times in order for the code to start working.

This course was well-designed and a great intro to Python. I loved the video setup, the quizzes, and the Python Labs in Jupyter. An important caveat to note here though is that it is very IT focused, so if you are learning Python for Data Science you may want to try another course.

Excellent diving into the right level of detail. The Object Oriented Programming optional section didn't seem right to me, somehow. Some struggles getting the Jupyter notebooks to behave properly. Their insertion towards the end of the course seemed forced and...... unnecessary.

El curso es muy bueno, tiene videos claros y fáciles de seguir, no se necesita mucho inglés para hacerlo, no me gustó mucho que los problemas planteados eran demasiado sobre matemática y no sobre problemas comunes o reales en el área de TI, pero en general estuvo genial.

Gracias

I found this course very interesting. Great emphasis was laid to the syntax and the topics were explained with clarity.

I thank the team at Google for putting together this wonderful course and Christine Rafla for delivering the course lectures with great enthusiasm and clarity.

Course was a bit off point as reading material was not brief and to the point. There should be more video learning as the video learning part was helpful and there should be more topics covered via video teaching and the pop-up questions between the video were also very good.

The course is designed in such a way that it requires time and dedication to complete the course. The content is awesome. Just a thing that it has predefined codes (with comment) so we have to stick to the same procedure and can not go beyond but overall very good experience.

Great course. Learned a lot. Wish difficulty of the example questions within the vidoes were just as difficult as the questions on the test. I definately did not master everything in this course by a long shot but I do have a great idea of what I need to work on to improve.
