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.

Great for learning the basics of the Python Programming Language.

Would have been more beneficial if the Python Data Structures course was also available for free.

Very simple and easy to learn, especially when you have learnt other coding language. I learned this after work every day, and I used 3 days to finish this course.
