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 think that the way this course is taught is how everything in programming should be taught: clear, with practical examples and a bit of sense of humor.

It is easy to understand especially for students who have learned other programming language. Just I think the exercise is a little less than I expected.
