About the Course

In this course, you will be introduced to foundational programming skills with basic Python Syntax. You’ll learn how to use code to solve problems. You’ll dive deep into the Python ecosystem and learn popular modules, libraries and tools for Python. You’ll also get hands-on with objects, classes and methods in Python, and utilize variables, data types, control flow and loops, functions and data structures. You’ll learn how to recognize and handle errors and you’ll write unit tests for your Python code and practice test-driven development. By the end of this course, you will be able to: • Prepare your computer system for Python programming • Show understanding of Python syntax and how to control the flow of code • Demonstrate knowledge of how to handle errors and exceptions • Explain object-oriented programming and the major concepts associated with it • Explain the importance of testing in Python, and when to apply particular methods This is a beginner course for learners who would like to prepare themselves for a career in back-end development or database engineering. To succeed in this course, you do not need prior web development experience, only basic internet navigation skills and an eagerness to get started with coding....

Great Course. It included information about all aspects of Python programming from Basic syntax to Exception & File handling, OOPS concepts, Various modules & packages, and Software testing.

Thanks Meta for a very comprehensive course.

Not only are fundamental computer science topics taught, but the job-ready skills needed for Python by covering it in breadth, but also depth.

Two major places absolutely needed to revamp.

1. This is a meta staff taught course, but why ZERO, I repeat, ZERO mod you could find on discussion forums. These forums are utter chaos. People post tons of assignment answers there. Unlike other similar Python courses on Coursera, no mod is there to answer students' questions.

2. Several pages either have no subtitles or, simply text out of sync. Given the reputation of meta, such issues should not happen.

In general, you could feel sort of insouciant attitude in couse design and material making. You can comapre this course to courses offered by Yale or University of Michigan, you would realize how carefree meta is on making this course. The quality is not bad for sure, but it is also not that good and detailed. Just it shouldn't be a product of Meta.

So many mistakes and difficult topics are explained in the reading. Most modules have more reading than actual videos, making it hard to follow along. Some quizzes had different answers for the same questions as well.

Documentation in the coding exercises had vague instructions and inconsistencies. The instructor changes every 2-3 videos which is upsetting as well.

The course covers many interesting topics, but all too quickly and often superficially. Some of the examples given contain errors, and the exercise topics are often unclear or even contradictory. Requires real concentration.

Coding experience is very low. It does not add any skill to the programming ability. It just help to have an awareness of python programming. If you are here to learn real coding, it is not for you.

The course was okay. it could have been structured better. Also, there were several mistakes throughout the explanations. A course from meta should be better designed.

Certainly the course does not delve too deep into the topics it treats. It is more like an introduction, but does not forms a full fledged python programmer.
