About the Course

This course is designed to teach you the foundations in order to write simple programs in Python using the most common structures. No previous exposure to programming is needed. By the end of this course, you will understand the benefits of programming in IT roles; understand basic Python syntax; explore different code editors and developer environments; be able to write simple programs using Python; figure out how the building blocks of programming fit together; and combine all of this knowledge to solve a complex programming problem. We'll start off by diving into the basics of writing a computer program. Along the way, you’ll get hands-on experience with programming concepts through interactive exercises and real-world examples. You’ll quickly start to see how computers can perform a multitude of tasks — you just have to write code that tells them what to do....

Very good crash course. Considering myself not a Python novice, maybe intermediate level, I even learned something new. Don't expect to be a Python expert after this, though, as it is a crash course.

When writing code and explaining - it can be a little bit slower or even stop and tell what each object, method, attribute, parameter means and why it was written.

Other than that everything is cool and challenging. Love it

It is a tough course for me as a beginner. It took me a lot of rewatching the video to understand when it came to week 5. You do learn a lot from this course, explanations were clear and easy to understand for most parts.

one of the best short courses out there for python, the instructor is very nice and explains concepts with a lot of enthusiasm which is nice. Difficulty level sometimes gets high in questions otherwise a very good course.

Great intro to programmign with python. Probably the highest quality module in this cert path. Lectures were great, quizzes were great, qwiklabs was shit, but that seems to be the case with every course in this cert path

The course is well done and easy to follow. Already having some programming experience I was able to complete the course in less than a week, however I believe that with enough time anyone could complete it quite easily.

it is good if you know some basics about python language but if you totally don't know about it I think it may be hard to learn because the teaching skills is totally intermediate level and not all basics will be taught

The Basics taught about the python in this course is awesome and it is good for any beginners you can start to know what the python programming language is all about. overall, the course is excellent for pure beginner.

Me gusta toda la explicación que dan en los videos y que también haya una sección en la que podamos revisar la información en forma de texto esta perfecto. Enseñan bastante bien todos los temas para inciarte en python.

I learned a LOT in this course and it was pretty straight forward most of the time. Sometimes it's difficult to know what the question is asking me to do. could just be that I'm not totally familiar with python jargon.

Even though the course is basically a crash course, it really was too short. I hoped that it would be longer so that the practice before the latter courses would be more. But the examples and assignments were on point.

It is good to take advantage of the course to review the basics of Python and you can really finish it without needing much practice, the best thing is that the exams help you to understand possible real life cases.

I had some troubles when I added debug messages into output of my application . My final project always failed until I commented my debug messages. Perhaps, you may specify that changing of the output is prohibited.

The course was very good, even though I knew a bit of python before beginning this course, it isn't something that you can just breeze through. Several parts were a bit challenging. But overall, a great experience.

The course is generally well designed and the progression is mostly well thought out for learners to build up the skills. The project is a huge step off from the available materials but rewarding once figured out.

In general it was a great course, i think it can improve in some areas, because at some ocassions it feels that the assigments and homeworks don't match with the information that was teached in the video lectures.

I removed the one star because the last wordcloud project had some problems.The notebook was having some bugs thereby not displaying the browse button.I had to try it for about 50 times until it worked properly.

The Jupyter Notebooks Final Project was problematic because the configuration upload configuration code provided by Coursera failed. I had to build a work around, but eventually got through the final project.

It is a great course! I really enjoyed how to use Python through practical exercises. The final project is performed in Jupiter Notebook, therefore it had better for me to teach more detail about the function.

The instructor was very engaging. But the concepts taught and the questions were complicated for a beginner.Else I totally love the teachings of Google and look forward to work with you in the next 5-10 years

The Crash Course on Python was fairly challenging. Some of the answers weren't clearly spelled out, therefore I did many Google searches also. I appreciate that examples were provided on most of the topics.

Week 5 (Object Oriented Programming) had a few confusing errors in it. Especially the labs. The second to last question in the final project for Week 5 was unsolvable. Even the mentors couldn't solve it.

The course is definitely, highly recommended for people who already know a language like C++,Java or Javascript , but not recommendable for beginners.

The assignments are hard , challenging and fun to do too

i loved it. it was pretty good though would have loved if more built in functions and programs that let user give input were taught more. do include programs to let the user give the input during execution
