The professor is second to none. He knows which step you may run into errors. He explains the knowledge in a way that even a programming novice like me can easily understand!!

Very well paced, I especially enjoy the Interview videos in the Bonus section, they help me understand the reasoning behind the decisions that lead up to what Python is today.

Not only I learned Python basics, but also I got solid understanding of basic programming patterns in general. I'm sure I can use these in any programming language. Thank you!

This is a very beginner friendly course while still making you ask the right questions. Highly recommended for any non CS students as a stepping stone for more complex courses

Actually, I think this course is over easy. I don't think a person with normal intellect need 7 weeks to finish this course. It just took me like 3 days to finish this course.

This guy did an amazing job. If you are looking to just dive into Python and its history is not going to bother you, You might want to jump right ahead onto 4th week material
