This is actually a really great start for beginners in python. I am an intermediate python developer so for me it was too basic, but still a nice refresher for all the basics that we sometimes forget.

This is the most exciting course I have ever come across. I feel privileged to receive training from the best IT minds from Google you can come across in the world. Google has exceeded my expectations. The curriculum is airtight and exercises are challenging and complex. I am grateful to the course instructor, Christine Rafla, for imparting practical, real-world knowledge to me. I am also thankful to Margarita, the curriculum developer. The journey hasn't been smooth, but Christine encouraged me and other students to soldier on. And I have made it to the end! But I feel I need to go deeper than what I have learned.

This is a truely wonderful course! Whai I liked the most here apart from the brilliant instructor and interesting yet challenging tasks is that all the information needed to fulfill the task was given in the videos and there was no need to find any additional information. I know it's importaint to search and experiment, but when you are a beginner, first you need to get familiar with the instruments you've just learned without being distracted. And when you are confident enough, with this basis it is much easier to continue learning further, exploring new possibilities of the language. Thank you so much!!!

This was the best beginner Python tutorial I've seen. I'm not new to Python but I wish it had been available when I was, as we were introduced to things I didn't learn until long into my journey, from some obscure comment on a StackOverflow or another forum. The projects are relatively practical and original, nothing like the standard text adventures and tic tac toe games you find in most beginner courses. The instructor is upbeat and fun, and the production value in general is just through the roof. The care and craftsmanship that Google has put into this is clear from the very beginning. 5/5.

Buenísimo, me encantó la instructora y la forma de explicar. Bastante clara, amigable y concisa. La única critica que tengo es hacia las lecturas que, las noté algo flojas en cuanto a formato y contenido. Si se pudiera mejorar colocándole imágenes. No sé si pueda también hacer a futuro que los Laboratorios con los Cuadernos de Jupyter sean en Google Colab, siento que es una interfaz más amigable y bueno, pertenece a Google que, es a fin de cuentas el creador de éste curso. Vendría bien. Sin duda voy a repasar éste contenido una y otra vez en caso de que necesite refrescar conocimientos.

The "Python Crash Course" is an excellent course for anyone who wants to learn the basics of programming with Python. The course is designed for beginners, so you don't need any prior programming experience to get started.

One of the things I really liked about this course is that it is very well-structured. The lessons are organized in a logical sequence, so you can learn the concepts in a step-by-step manner. The course starts with the basics of Python syntax and gradually progresses to more advanced topics such as data structures and object-oriented programming.

Simply awesome!!! Little advice, take your time in getting everything onto your head before advancing to the lessons or weeks because every single thing you learn in each video matters a lot! Sometimes it might be overwhelming to figure things out but take your time, research and even refer to other materials available online! Since this is a crash course it might seem pretty fast for a beginner, so take your time in grasping things!. In the end it'll definitely be worth it! By the way the tutor is gorgeous and is an impressive teacher with heaps of knowledge!

I had no background in coding but I could learn some basics of Python from this well designed course. This program was really compelling because every time I face a new concept there was small coding quiz in the middle of the videos. Solving assignments was also really fun. Though I really got frustrated when I couldn't get to the answer quickly, I felt thrilled after overcoming those tip of obstacles. Whenever I see green screen after coding, I could feel the growth of myself.

most importantly thanks for the kind explanation and lovely instructor.

Good introduction to python with information and exercises on conditionals, loops, and basic data-structures: integers, strings, lists and dictionaries. An optional section on object-oriented programming really helps explain classes, attributes and methods, along with an introduction to creating new classes.

Excellent teaching style without long, boring videos. I think the longest one was 10 minutes, and most were 3-4 minutes. Plenty of chances to practice. All taught with a very fun attitude and style.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course.

Starting from basic syntax to learning various data structures be it strings, lists, tuples, sets, dictionaries or the Loops, conditionals statements, and Classes and methods, Inheritance, composition, and a lot more Object-oriented programming concepts, everything was beautifully explained and assessed .

Much Recommended course for beginners. Don't overthink and just start your python journey.

Thanks to the energetic instructor, Christine Rafla for the motivation to complete the course and lot more. Thanks Google and the course creators.

I had pretty decent Python knowledge before this course...I've been learning it on codecademy for 6-7 months, and passed my PCAP recently. This course was a great refresher, and taught me some new methods/functions that were not covered in either of the former utilities I had used to learn the language. If I hadn't had that prior experience, it would have taken much longer to get through the info, but I can verify it was a fairly comprehensive course for being so compact. I loved all the puns and the interface is very useable. Thanks!

Great course and great introduction to learning Python! I highly encourage anyone who is wanting to learn Python to take this course as it was very instructional and full of great information that was easily understandable. As you went on week by week, the code advanced more and more and everything was there for you to learn and take in. If you ran across any mistakes, you were easily able to go back to the selected video's or reading material to find where you went wrong and try to fix your issue. I enjoyed this course very much!

Some help should have been provided for the final submission not in the form of doing half the coding but with understanding errors. This being a crash course and for non-technical students too, sometimes it becomes difficult to understand the error code.

Also since class and objects are optional and complicated quite frankly, errors related to same in final submission with no partial marking was quite a setback.

Hope I was able to convey the problem, but the course content was otherwise great and I learned a lot. Thank you!! :D

Excellent way of teaching, practice quiz and graded assignment and the questions asked during the videos are a good way to comprehend the subject.

Thank you Google for your wonderful team who made this programme success. You keept your words that "Fresher with no IT background can complete this course". I am a middle aged mad with no background of programming. I was afraid initially when I joined this programme. Thank you once again for boosting my confidence and others who are trying to learn through you. God bless you all!

The Crash Course on Python provides a great introduction of programming to any contributor who has no prior experience but still want to get into the data field. Through this course, I learned the basic concepts of Conditionals, Loops, Strings, Lists, Dictionaries, Objects and many more.

Overall, this course enhanced my skillset and as a new Data Analyst, I got some more useful tools into my toolkit. As a new programmer, I think train your brain for programming is the most important and bit challenging part of the program.

it was fabulous learning experience and most interesting to me is the videos for short duration by which it propelled me to watch videos several times when I have got stuck in this course. Practice plays major role while learning rather getting knowledge just by listening. Practice questions helped me a lot to learn new concepts perfectly and also to solve assignment questions

My suggestion is that you can also involve tutor in discussion prompt or otherwise provide any mean of social media to connect with tutor

Excelente. Me encanta esta plataforma. Todo está hecho de una manera excelente: las explicaciones, los ejercicios, los exámenes.

El único mínimo detalle es que el examen final debí realizarlo dos veces. Sin cambiar en nada el código, la primera vez lo desaprobé (a pesar de haber generado lo solicitado) y la segunda lo aprobé.

De todos modos, fue una gran experiencia. No sabía nada de Python y terminé el curso teniendo los conocimientos básicos esperados. Espero poder participar de los próximos cursos de Python.

It provided a comprehensive introduction to the basics of Python programming. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking to start coding in Python. Although it was a bit fast-paced for individuals who are also working, allocating 2 to 3 hours daily to study would be sufficient. In my opinion, there is no better course than this one for getting started with Python. I am grateful to Coursera, Google, and especially Christine Rafla for their efforts in creating such a valuable learning resource.

I am completely new to programming, and I have been seeking to learn Python. Despite exploring various online resources, I found that none of them proved to be particularly helpful. Subsequently, I decided to enroll in a Python course on Coursera that caters to beginners. Throughout this course, I have gained a deeper understanding of Python programming. The course has been instrumental in introducing me to new concepts, and it has significantly contributed to my journey of getting started with Python.

Crash Course on Python es un curso muy completo. La instructora es excelente y sus videos muy refrescantes ya que siempre transmite buenas sensaciones. Las tareas a veces bastante complicadas si las comparas con las explicaciones de los videos, aunque pienso que eso es mejor que lo contrario. El tema opcional de "Programación Orientada a Objetos me costó bastante porque era mi primer contacto con este paradigma. Tuve que detenerme para sentirme ligeramente seguro en el tema. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.
