I find this awesome for the beginners who are willing to start python as their first programming language.

Course contents are to the point and I was able to understand the contents for very first time.

Basic ideas about programming are well illustrated in this course. It's perfectly good for new beginners, but it's a little slow for the students who have other programming skills such as C, Java, etc.

Great course for beginners. If you have programming experience, but feel rusty, or don't know Python, it's a great way to refresh your programming skills and learn Python syntax. Great instructor, too.

Excellent if you have zero starting knowledge of Python. Even a basic understanding will make some of the videos feel like they're too long. Excellent instructor makes course worth taking despite this.
