Easy and useful not only for Python, but for all programming languages in general. In this course there are only basics and you need to study further in order to be able to use Python serious tasks.

I felt this course was perfect for a beginner,such as myself. I felt challenged by the assignments, yet not overwhelmed. If you have no prior knowledge of programming, I think this class is perfect.

Um curso muitíssimo bem montado para aqueles que buscam iniciar na linguagem Python. Instrutor carismático e bem-humorado, sem perder o rigor das explicações, que por sua vez são muitíssimo claras.
