Initially, the format of this course was slow and sometimes tedious. But as I advanced, I realized that they were applying a methodology that seeks to excite the student and complement in every way a transversal learning. I recommend it.

It is very suitable for a starter in programming. At first, it is very easy and fundamental. However, only if you make full understanding of the fundamental part, can you solve the problems in the following chapters! What a great course!

Very nice course, well explained how python is 'thinking', so you really understand how the program is working if these are your first steps. One of the best thing is, that you have to write your own code and the end of the each chapter.

pretty easy and clearly to get start with a program even you never try this before, especially , there are a lot of bonus that can expand your horizon about python or even the computer science. So, take a try if you never do programming.

Excellent! Even if it is an introductory course to programming in python, examples and exercises are a great challenge. Instructor teaches incredibly and invites to learn more as much programming as python language. Thank you very much.

Great first course to start programming for the first time or to familiarize yourself with Python if you have experience. For the latter it will be a quick review (fun and interactive) and it will get you started on the syntax in Python.

I really learn a lot from this course. The professor declare those conceptions in a very detailed way. Although I have learned C++ before,I still get a lot and have a better understanding in programming. Next I will learn data structure.
