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....

Fun stuff! Interesting yet familiar introduction, especially to those who have some coding experience in another language. The instructors were fun and i looked forward to logging in and learning more. Concepts were challenging at times but a relief in the end to see how I can use Python to do things that I have to make other languages jump hoops to do. Right on!

really impressive course, beginner friendly

and since it contain so many exercise and in video questions it is really helpful for critical thinking

since python is all about application of language, thus the module exercise are a really great for practicing and learning how to apply the various concepts.

A very big thanks to google for a such a wonderful course.

The course does what it sets out to do - delivers a crash course on Python. This is done by building up knowledge and skills that are fundamental to programming in Python. The videos are engaging and the tasks are challenging at the right level. I've learned a lot over a short time and I am confident I could handle some basic Python tasks in the real world.

Definitely Go for this course if you have some basic knowledge about Programming languages and

It would be very joyful if you know the concepts of Object-Oriented Programming.

Projects and quizzes are very well designed for the course. The Instructor is also very good in making things clear. And of course, GOOGLE is organising this course so what else you need.

A great introduction to Python. Do expect to use (a minimum) 4-6 hours per module/week, especially if you got no prior coding experience. To get the most value from the course, be sure to understand the concepts and methods taught and not just aim to pass the weekly review. Read the instructions carefully and check the forum if stuck and you will be okay :-)

I love all the exercises in this course which help me to get familiar with coding and thinking. Most of the exericses are a bit out of your comfort zone and usually takes a day or two to get through it.

Because of the exercises, I code/think almost everyday for three weeks and coding becomes more natural for me now. I am so thankful for this course structure.

The course is very well curated. With in-video exercises, graded assessments, cheat sheets, and discussion forums, there is no change any concept is left unlearned to the core. I would recommend this course to everyone who wants to learn python in a short span of time and kick-start their Python Career. Kudos to Margarita Manterola for this amazing course!!!

The course is nicely designed for all type of learners (domain or non-domain). The best part of the course is asking questions in the middle of the video for learners to be more attentive. The assignments (graded and non-graded) are beautifully designed to improve and focus on smaller codes to think and analyze logically. Overall its a very great experience.

The most wonderful and the best project oriented course I have ever got to learn, had a great time. Even tough I knew concepts before getting to this course but the assignments will really teach to think you more and more about it and really great to invest your time into this course not just because it is offered by Google but it is really worth to watch it

I am thoroughly enjoying the course. The explanations provided are clear and concise, and the tasks assigned are exciting. I am especially grateful for the detailed comments provided in the practice tasks.

I feel like I need more practice. It would be greatly appreciated if you could provide me with additional tasks as a student. Thank you for your kindness.

The course was soo awesome before starting the course i already know some basics of python so it was little easy for me but i have to say the course was worth it especially the assignment and more specially the final project there are still some problems with final project but finally i have completed .

Thank you google for this course

I really enjoyed this course, I guess these videos are perfect for some one who just stepped into this IT thing, host is interactive, assignments are good and projects are fun and challenging. I will recommend to every new comer to enrol and become part of this journey, but If you are someone who's not new to programming you may find this course bit easy.

I struggled a lot by the way the course is designed it kept encouraging me to try again by understanding deeper meaning and correlation of each programming line, extra tabs etc errors which gave me clue how t ofix. I am still stressed and worried but I am sure with little love for this coursde will help me get to my goal of understanding Python better.

This course is a great course for beginners and people who have a grasp of code concept. I feel like it is a great gap between "I think I know whats going on" to "I definitely know what this says". This course has some difficult questions but with some back-tracking and note-taking, you will master these basic concepts quicker than the course length is!

Very good initial Python course. Even if you have some Python knowledge, as did I, it is not only a very good refresher but a way to learn to put it to good use. Instead of learning the syntax of the language reading a book, learn by example. Exercises are actually very helpful, many of them have real life application, with some modifications of course.

I personally found this course easy for someone who has been learning python for a year now. However, for someone who is beginner-intermediate level in python, this course is extremely helpful. It helped me refresh on all the basics of python, especially data structures and algorithms. Will take similar courses to this in the future as python practice.

Wonderfully developed course. Nicely explained and instructed. However, for absolute beginners, some concepts might not have been explained very well. But I understand that's because the scope of the course is limited and it is more geared toward IT professionals, rather than developers. Overall great experience. Thank you Coursera and the Google Team.

This was a really good course for someone who's starting Python programming. I liked the topics which were cover, and the examples used to explain them. The quick questions in between the video are quite helpful in maintaining the focus. The coding questions were really good and enabled me to really manipulate nd use all the tools which I had learned.

I was hesitant at first because I thought I would just fall behind because it takes me time to write programs and remember all the stuff, but the videos and reading were helpful and the examples and projects were super fun. Learned a lot from the tests questions themselves. Though I am not in IT, I want it was a great crash course. Glad I finished it!

Great course!

This crash course on python is really beginner.

But the questions given in this course are too complex and require the best of your creativity to solve them though the course is a perfection itself and the instructors are so nice and they really keep motivating us where they know that where we will have some problems in creating our code.

The course kicks off with the basics of writing a computer program. Progressing with the course, you get hands-on experience in writing language through interactive exercises and real-world examples.  the benefits of programming language and how it plays an important role. write simple Python programs to combine knowledge and solve complex problems.
