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.

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!
