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.

I really enjoyed the course and when I found the professor used a lot of metaphors from my all time favorite Harry Potter series, I immediately loved this course!

This class is amazing. Very easy to understand.

But it would be great if we can talk a little bit more about the Python general formatting and Boolean Expression.
