I completed the course in about three days. I've never programmed before to the learning curve was excruciating but nonetheless I managed to get through and finally get my python feet wet so to speak.

Very good introduction to basic programming. Very easy for beginners in python who have already some programming background - but still extremely useful to quickly and efficiently learn python basics.

Precise and efficient, humorous professor, well-organized course outline. Just a little bit too easy for those who have already studied other programming languages.

The textbook made it easier for me to understand programming concepts better. I found the assignments challenging enough for me to learn more in a hands on fashion.

Excellent course in order to learn the programming fundamentals. However it would be better not to involve bonus chapters because those were absolutely of no need.
