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....

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.

Course presentation is good. Topic selection is good. Selected Strings, Lists, tuples and Dictionaries, using these program logic can be build. Examples are good and interesting. assignments are good.

I gave this course 1 star, but I had to step away for a brief moment, spoke with a couple of IT folks and now I truly enjoy the course. Advise that I have for anyone taking this course, WHEN SHE SAYS READ, READ!! I missed so much the first go round because I did not read. Using not only the instructor is beneficial to this course, read, read, and more reading is beneficial as well. READ PEOPLE. Thanks Google.

The crash course on Python by Google via Coursera offers an excellent introduction to Python programming. The course is well-structured, engaging, and covers essential concepts, making it ideal for beginners to quickly grasp Python's fundamentals. Highly recommended it to anyone looking to kickstart their coding journey with Python. as it help me the most and the concept of the instructor was excellent.

Good start to explore all the packages that python offers... though I had the habit of referring to the documentation ..I never went beyond what I needed to solve a given problem statement...but in this course when they introduced Jupyter Notebook there were so many methods that were already coded of which I had no clue !! So I started reading more about them...

Overall,It was good learning experience...

Es un curso muy bueno para introducirse a Python. Obviamente si quieres profundizar más tendrás que buscar más material, pero en lo personal disfruté mucho el curso y considero que te dá las herramientas necesarias para poder escribir y comprender código. La instructora a su vez hace los videos amenos y disfrutables. Ampliamente recomendado para los que buscan comenzar en el mundo de la programación.

La verdad que me ha encantado el curso completo.

Empezar por lo básico para aprender sin darme cuenta ha molado.

El caso que la parte de Programación Orientada a Objetos ha sido todo un reto que agradezco lo hayan incluido para afrontar nuevos retos de aprendizaje.

Mis felicitaciones para los ordanizadores del curso y vamos a por el segungo para seguir mejorando en el aprendizaje de Python.

Gracias.

Overall, this course is really great for everyone who doesnt not know pyhton at all, not for someone who doesnt know how to code. But, for improvement, the example question that alongside in the course kinda too hard for someone who really start programming from scratch (i think). But, besides that, this course is really great for someone who wanna know pyhton language in-depth. Keep it up, Google!!

Informative, engaging, and just the "right" amount of information to get started with some really cool scripts! Instructor is fun and engaging, and there are a ton of hands-on opportunities to practice. Highly recommend taking advantage of these to get a great grasp on the concepts. Really looking forward to taking the rest of this specialization! Thank you for your thoughtful design of this course!

The start of this course makes you think you'll breeze through it in no time, but don't be fooled. Once you've passed the basic/intro material of the first weeks, the course increases in difficulty, and you honestly feel like you have done something quite meaningful by the end. As someone with very, very basic IT and almost no prior programming knowledge, this course is an excellent crash course!

I am thankful of my instructor and Coursera ,Has gave opportunity of financial aid for such awesome Crash course offered by GOOGLE .Its Great thing to learner like me who do not afford such huge cost .Finally I have completed 6 module course within three days.

I have got the concept with full clarity only because such great instructor .I like your phrase "#Pretty Cool" .

Thank you once again :)

An amazing course for beginners. I can't say exactly how easy it would be for people with no background in programming, because even with my experience I did find some parts of it challenging. But I think with the amount of help available in the discussion forums and online in general, this course is a great option for a lot of people to get confident with the basics of Python. Sure helped me!

Very informative and hands on crash course, I've been programing in python for a little bit now but still found some good new concepts or refresers on this course. it is perfect for any new beginner coder. towards the end of the course the concepts can seem a bit hard for beginners but everything is presented well and with practice anyone can get the concepts down. Definitely worth the time.

Very well structured course! I have been coding in Python for awhile but i have never had a structured course on how to efficiently code in the language before. This course was extremely helpful in understanding all of the fundamental tools in Python as well as providing excellent examples and guidance. Also, the instructor was pretty great too! Highly recommended for even experienced coders.

This was a really good Python tutorial course. I've completed similar introductory Python courses at University and through Coursera and this one had by far the most detailed assessments and did well at covering the essentials. I appreciated the more difficult practice questions to make the assessment questions seem easier. I learned a few tips and it was good review so well worth the time.

Truly best gem for Python crash course that you ever run across !!! The instructor very friendly and had clearly direction to motivative you to starting wrting python even you "never ever been writing program before" you still understand and grasp the concept profoundly to adapt for any new programming language I highly recommend this course Thank you very much I must really miss you 🥰🥰🥰

Excelente para las personas que tienen conocimientos básicos de programación o incluso para personas que no han programado nunca pero tienen mucho interés en aprender. La explicación es muy clara, usan muchos ejemplos. Los Tests (al final de cada tema) y Assessments (al final de cada semana) están muy bien diseñados. Comparten mucha información útil, así como ligas para seguir aprendiendo.

the course was excellent and the structure of the course was good too. thankyou Christine ma'am and the staff. the lecture vids were great.

but I have one disappointment. what was taught in lectures was basic. and when in video questions were asked. there were sometimes too tricky or a little bouncer. so that area needs to be modified as per the difficulty level.

overall I loved this course

It's been many days since I decided to take the intensive Python course on Coursera. It has been an incredible experience and I have dedicated a lot of my time to finishing it and acquiring knowledge. The way Christine Rafla brings her knowledge to us in each video is admirable and rewarding and I am excited about the other courses that I will continue to take. Thank you very much Google.

It has been an amazing course. It's greatly organized and easy to follow. I have just one suggestion, Is it possible to add more examples to practice before quizzes? It makes it tough to attempt assignments(both practise and graded) with just video quizzes. Other than that, It is one of the best courses(if not, the best) that I have come across on Python. Christine Rafla has been AMAZING!

Lessons and exercises are well planned. Quiz questions are fun to work on. A cheat sheet is given after each lessons (thumb up).

Based on the input from the Discussion Forums, this course may not suitable for someone who has absolutely no knowledge in programming. Some of the detail and best practises are not mentioned. Which is understood. After all, this is a crash course.

I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the teaching and the examples provided. The instructor was able to break down complex concepts into easily understandable terms, making it easy for me to follow along and learn. The examples provided were also very helpful in illustrating the concepts and making them more tangible. . Thank you for providing such a great learning experience!"

The course serves as a refresher for someone who already knows programming in Python, or any other language, and it could work as well for a beginner with no programming experience, although they need to do a bit of studying on their own. The programming assignments are good in the sense that they make you analyze and think critically.

I would recommend not to skip the optional material.

I have taken couple of courses online but this is by far the best course I have ever taken. what I perticularly liked about this course is that there are many different practice quizzes to develop the skills I have learned before. The instructor is very straight forword and a bit sarcastic also. Now I finally learned basics of paython which will help me greatly in my career. Thank you.
