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.

Firstly, the content of the course was well-organized and easy to follow. The course covered the fundamentals of Python, including variables, data types, loops, and functions, as well as more advanced topics such as object-oriented programming. The explanations were clear and concise, and the exercises were challenging but manageable. I found the pace of the course to be just right, allowing me to absorb the material without feeling overwhelmed.
The instructors were also excellent. They were knowledgeable, engaging, and enthusiastic about the subject matter. They provided plenty of examples to illustrate the concepts and were available to answer any questions I had. I appreciated the fact that the instructors took the time to explain the "why" behind the code, which helped me to understand the logic behind the programming concepts.
The platform itself was also easy to navigate. The course dashboard was well-designed, and the course materials were organized in a logical and intuitive manner. The ability to track my progress and see how much time I had spent on each module was helpful in keeping me on track.
Overall, I highly recommend the Coursera crash course on Python. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced programmer, the course provides a solid foundation in the language and is an excellent starting point for anyone looking to learn Python. Thank you, Coursera, for providing such a valuable resource for online learning!

Marga and Christine were amazing at writing and really empathizing with the possible consumers of this program since you can actually feel they care for your learning. They are able to create a genuine, and at times corny, relation with those who are learning this program. Besides, Something I love about this course is that it focuses on exploiting or using Python to its fullest extent, not limiting you at any point, in contrast to some universities that have decided is a good idea to learn concepts that you are never going to use while coding e.g. creating a sort class of your own instead of using the one built in. And I know that learning from the ground up is useful in some aspects but not allowing full exploitation of the language does not lead to new or enriching learning. Tell me who would deliberately run an outdated or old OS just for the fun? No one, and if they are doing it is probably to extract ideas or improve the same. Anyways, just wanted to tell you guys this was an amazing course and I enjoyed more than most of my uni courses. Not that that is saying much 'ol. Hope the other courses are just as good and I hope to see Christine again (I have a secret crush on her, don't tell her)

On the whole, I have realized programming is powerful skill, but learning it step-by-step required hard working and other important skills, including critical thinking, problem solving, to name but a few.
As I said before, I have begun some courses related to different programming languages.
I have finished one of the best python courses by #Google. The tasks of the course have seemed like difficult a little bit at the beginning of the course. However, The course is constructed very well, for instance, each lesson are explained professionally,
and end the of each lesson and assignments, useful links related different python topics, including conditionals, defining functions, while and for loops are given. For example, I have learned extra needed information
in order to learn and finish the course successfully through #w3schools and #python documentations cites.
My aim goal learning programming is to create my scientific project. For instance, Iʼm going to create simulation of Black Holes.

I was an intermediate programmer in C++ but I wanted to learn Python. I thought that I would breeze through this course as I knew the concepts and only needed to learn the syntax. But I was pleasantly surprised to see the struggle I had doing the assignment. The lectures are short and top notch in quality. The assignments require creative thinking and you need time to solve them if you're new to Python. You wouldn't be required to type coding questions from scratch, only fill the blanks at very carefully chosen spots in the code. Believe me it gets really annoying when the actual answer is just one word but you need to type out the rest of the code to be able to submit your answers.
I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to start their programming journey and to those who know some other language and want to learn Python as well.

I really liked all the tasks, but I think that the task of balancing servers is more interesting and applied than the final project. The last problem would be much more interesting if visualization was added to the server load balancing problem. To quickly and beautifully solve such problems, I clearly lacked the practice of solving simple small problems of the same type for each topic in order to have solution templates in my head and use them as building blocks for building complex multi-line code. I think it is necessary to add more of those simple tasks that have been integrated into the video. This would solve the problem of practice and would serve to better memorize the basic techniques. It would be great to add several areas of programming, and as a final task, everyone would choose a topic themselves and write a program from scratch.

This has been a great opening for my Python programming journey. The material is structured in the manner that makes you implement the knowledge from previous module in the current module you are working on. It all peaked when we reached the week 6 where we try to put-it-all-together and also work on a project. To be honest, the material about how to structure your project which starts from planning is the most interesting because it helps you to not focus on coding first but rather think about what you want to build and what steps you need to build it. So far this is very interesting.
Shout out to the instructor and also the curriculum developer for making this course, the instructor way of interacting with students is really good and her spirit is contagious as if she always encourages us to move forward.

I was very familiar with using python over the years but, not in a lot of ways it is taught in this course. I spent hours upon hours getting familiar with different syntactical possibilities in each of the exams. I can definitely say that there are real-world solutions mentioned throughout the course. I am already using and rethinking much of my Systems Engineering solutions, that can be automated with the things I have learned in this course.
I highly recommend this training but, I believe that even though it is supposed to be a beginner's course, I think it is a large learning curve for someone starting from the ground up. I did not get the correct output in the final project after getting through all of the mandatory examinations. Maybe it was just not enough time, along side working full-time.

this is one of the most amazing courses that I've ever taken on coursera. The instructor actually gives pretty good idea about the concept and and helps us also identify tricky parts. In short ,she did it in a Googler way. The assignments and the practice quizzes were not too simple but at the same time there were proper instructions to solve it. When one takes all the given practice quizzes and assignments legitly , they will get a good hold of the concepts explained in the videos and will feel confident. The reading part was perfectly structured. It gave an overview and a sketch of all the concepts that was covered in videos and was a great time for recalling. In short the course was perfectly structured, neatly organized and pleasantly delivered.I am thankful God , Coursera and Google.

This was a great course! Very challenging, and geared toward critical thinking and real life applications if you recognize the potential of these building blocks. The instructions were crystal clear and the coding challenges were probably one of the best put together for online courses. It's a great refresher for experienced programmers as well as beginners. If you are interested in teaching programming, the instructor made it fun and engaging. Other than that, here's a word of advice from Master Yoda:
“A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. This one, a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away…to the future, to the horizon. Never, his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing.” — The Empire Strikes Back

I had completed many courses for python but for sure this is the best course for beginners. There are three main reasons why I say that ,
->Firstly, the content of this course is precise and accurate for the beginners without getting overwhelmed.
-> Secondly, the course interaction is too good and I had not seen these much of interaction in other courses.
-> And finally, you know its from GOOGLE and the assessments in the course are worth solving it, even though they are not too hard but they are also not too easy to solve. This develops your problem solving ability.
So in my point of view this is the best course for python basics and you would not be able to get a course that is better than this master piece.
All the best : )

You'll get lots of practice in this course, there are tons of small examples to work through. Between the in-video problems, the quizzes, and the reading sections, I counted over 40 example problems in week 4 alone. This practice is what other Python classes on Coursera are missing. I took this course after doing the Python For Everyone (PY4E) Specialization (and a few other beginner Python classes) and I still learned plenty of new things, all while building proficiency through working the example problems. The examples are also similar to the test material, so I felt well prepared for the tests and could reference my previous work to help remind me of how to properly answer the questions.

It's the best course I've taken so far on coursera. It has in-depth explanations told in easy to understand language. The progression isn't overly difficult, with plenty of repetition to keep it fresh, while continuing to delve deeper and expand your knowledge of python. While this course will give you a strong understanding of the basics of python, I highly recommend you do studying on your own. As you learn new tools and techniques, do some research of your own. Check the documentation on python.org, look up some tutorials, and build simple programs that let you explorer what you’re learning. With self practice and this course, you can master the basics of python programming.

Overall this is a good course. I am satisfied with what I have learned. Since this is a crash course certain topics were not covered in full detail. I think that is understandable. I was able to fill the gaps in my understanding by looking at outside resources. The forums were extremely useful. Whenever I had trouble with a problem I was able to get ideas from the forum. Since I had a little prior programming experiece the pace was right for me. I can understand why someone who is totally new to programming might find this course difficult, which is evident from some reviews. For those folks I would advise them to learn basics elsewhere and then come back to this course.

The course is well structured, the instructor uses real life examples and relates what you already know with what you are learning, making it easy to understand concepts that might be different to imagine. The readings are clear followed up by videos that explain concepts, examples and codes in a nice and short manner, that means you get the point very quickly. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in understanding Python without prior experience or knowledge as it touches on the most fundamentals of Python programming in a fun and engaging manner. I enjoyed learning, especially understanding why and where the concepts are applicable. Well done team Google!

El curso ha sido buenísimo, en mi opinión. En ocasiones anteriores había intentado aprender python básico, pero no lo había conseguido. Sé que todavía tengo mucho que aprender, y tengo que seguir estudiando y practicando todos los días, pero la verdad me ha entusiasmado. Tengo ideas sobre cómo intentar aplicar lo que he aprendido para problemas reales de mi trabajo, y pienso seguir aprendiendo para buscar aplicaciones en otros aspectos reales del mundo empresarial y organizativo. Tengo muchas ganas de seguir aprendiendo. Felicito a la organización de Google por lo bien planteado que está. Gracias por esta oportunidad. Saludos.

Gostei muito deste curso, está pensado de uma forma muito profissional e a pensar em passar as melhores dicas para o aluno, recebi informação importante de forma a facilitar a evolução mais rápida na programação, portanto foi dado em termos de conhecimento o essencial e algo mais, acho também que algo de pessoal, agradeço muito às pessoas Christine Rafla pela sua simpatia e forma de prender a pessoa aos vídeos, Marga pela sua competência e vontade de partilhar conhecimentos, nem todos os professores partilham tanto, também agradeço a quem me deu a oportunidade de fazer este curso e possivelmente todos os seguintes neste tema.

The course is well-designed and executed. Topics are presented clearly in a logical order. Interactive exercises embedded in the videos make the concepts practical rather than abstract. The concepts are further reinforced by the practical exercises. The graded assessments for each module explain the questions and problems clearly, and fairly evaluate learning. The final project is challenging, but not overwhelming. At no time does the student feel unprepared or unsure of what the expectations and next steps were.
The presentation was well-scripted. The presenter is excellent. She delivers the material clearly and engagingly.

The energy installed behind the instructors is so helpful to creating a motivated- to- learn approach when studying & practicing Python Coding Concepts. I was shocked that it was so immersive and provided an all-inclusive feel. That made the biggest difference! I am a person who struggles with ADHD, so when I am able to sit down for an extensive amount of time and get on-board with it... that REALLY says something. I want to thank my fellow enrollees as well for being extremely helpful and communicative amongst others. The entire learning environment was superb! Couldn't have asked for a more positive learning experience.
