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 introduction to Python and programming as a whole. Everything is broken down making it easy to understand. Had zero programming experience before and this class made it easy and fun to get into.

Very good intro, can be completed much faster than the timescale stated if you are an existing programmer, but gives plenty of time for someone brand new to programming

Best course I have ever participated, online and real life.

I got to a point where I actually believed, Python is not for everybody... you made me eat my hat.

Thank You!

Pros: It was relatively easy but at times challenging. 

Cons: The quizzes won't let you review what you answered wrong, why is it wrong and memorize the correct answer.
