Really nice course about Python for people with no knowledge about it. Looking forward to other courses regarding Python because video lectures are very interesting, on point, and funny.

Brief intro to python, good for beginners. Cool professor, especially the wig part. Interviews are also quite meaningful to students who wanna know more about things behind the language.

Good quality course given by a pedagogic and charismatic teacher!

It is too easy for someone who already knows another coding language, but I understand that it is intended for beginners.

Very easy to follow, and fun to do. Instructor inspired me to expand skillset with my RaspberryPi with the use of virtual network computing from iOS to the Pi. Onward and upward. Thanks!

A very good course to start learning Python from scratch. Very detailed explanation of concepts along with examples and quizes in the end of each topic for testing the knowledge gained.

Great course. The activities really helped solidify the lessons. I only wish that after 5-10 incorrect tries, it would walk you through how to do it and give you another scenario to do.

Teacher is excelent. I had no hard time understanding the material. I had quite a few time trying to complete assignments but I think that is required for me to learn in a deeper level.

Very well done. I'm a person who has programmed before, but it's been 15+ years so this approach was a great way to learn the basics of Python. The videos and examples were excellent!
