Very good introduction to basic programming. Very easy for beginners in python who have already some programming background - but still extremely useful to quickly and efficiently learn python basics.

Great introduction to Python and programming as a whole. Everything is broken down making it easy to understand. Had zero programming experience before and this class made it easy and fun to get into.

The tool for Python Playground would not register as completed for an audited course. Otherwise, instructive and easy for beginners to understand.

This course is truly comprehensive and was explained/taught by Sir Charles in a way that digs deep into the rationale of how a certain code works.
