This was amazing. I already have 2 years of experience with Python, but only in a very limited functionality. And this made me fall in love with Pandas and Numpy. Thank you!

why does it ask me to verify my ID and when I enter it tells me to change my name? is it because i don't have a second name and Ihave to last names? This is normal in Spain

Creo que está muy bien enfocado para personas con pocos conocimientos de programación y da unas nociones básicas pero muy concisas con las que puedes comenzar a trabajar.

Very clear, even though sometimes quick (you can always have the chance to get back). Enjoy the final assignment (a bit more of a clue on scraping would have been handy).

Overall this course is great for the Python beginners. Though the final assigment is good, it could have been made little "better" by making it a "bit more" challenging.

I hope this course in the future provides more exercises that focus more on writing codes. Also, it would be even better if the videos show some real time code writing.
