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....

Course presentation is good. Topic selection is good. Selected Strings, Lists, tuples and Dictionaries, using these program logic can be build. Examples are good and interesting. assignments are good.

a good baseline. the challanges were challanging but I suppose that's the whole point :)

I tried to push it all through in a week. it was a little much along a full time job but feels like i've learned a lot but as they keep repeating, it's a skill that needs constant review and use to stay relevant.

This introductory course to Python is very thorough. Although it doesn't go into a lot of detail in some concepts, it does cover a lot of ground. It does make you go out and do a little research for the projects, but that is to be expected, even on your job. I would definitely recommend this course.

Esta siendo util. He aprendido bastante, sobre todo en materia de Python, del que no conocía nada. Los laboratorios (y los Jupyter Notebooks) están bastante bien. Salvo uno que me tuvo +18 minutos en espera mientras cargaba. Por eso le he quitado una estrella.

Sigan trabajando igual que hasta ahora.

It's a great platform to learn from google and course was really excellent and straight forward i.e., I have gone through several youtube videos all are explaining lot of concepts but here they explained exactly what beginners or intermediate wants with high voltage explanation. Highly recommended.

The course was good and interactive .The course was full of fun .The concepts like object oriented programming should be explained more deeply . Course instructor was a good communicator I enjoyed learning . But the content is less for some concepts eg. sets ,oop please make a tutorial on those

Sometimes I would get stuck. I wish there were more examples, but more help in each example. Frustrating to get stuck and have no clue how to continue without googling, which often gives answer without any effort. I wish I could choose to do other similar ones until I felt I was able to continue.

É um ótimo curso introdutório. Ótima didatica porém deveria ter mais exemplos semelhantes com os do exercicios, muitas vezes teremos que procurar qual a logica dos exercícios na internet, especialmente no StackOverFlow para poder raciocinar qual o sentido da pergunta e assim responder a questão.

The course was great , with a lot of informtion . Teaching method of tutor was also great and was friendly. The best part of the course is its quizzes and assignments. Though i found that more solved examples could have been given so its easy for new learners to grasp and understand concepts.

Although I've learned the basic concepts of Automation with Python, this course runs really fast for beginners. I like how it introduces the general idea and expects learners to dive deeper on their own, but it contradicts the idea of taking a course where it promotes deep learning experience.

Great beginning course! The instructor was engaging and encouraging and I enjoyed the examples and problems. I'd like to see a few more docstrings and correct output to compare with my output in the Jupyter notebooks. The OOP coverage delved just far enough - it was too good to be optional.

It is a really nice break up of scripting concepts that would prove useful to any beginner or intermediate programmer or script writer, I definitely recommend this course to anyone trying to grasp the basic details of programming fundamentals and understanding strings and array structures.

It is daunting for a complete beginner to plunge headfirst into the world of Python programming. I'm glad that the instructor is very encouraging. Googling for solutions became quite easy, and I'm glad that there's plenty of answers out there. Very relieved to finally complete this course.

good starter course; it was my first exposure to Python - don't be afraid to do an internet search if you don't understand part of a topic, or take notes to follow up on later; I usually kept a compiler screen open to practice the code outside of Coursera and that helped significantly

Covered much of the basics of programming in a logical, and systematic way. Had a lot of useful examples and user participation, especially for a pre-recorded online class. Maybe could have gone a touch faster, but when the user can watch videos on 2x speed, this really isn't an issue

The regular exercises and assignments throughout the course helped reinforce the concepts and its applications. Overall 5 start worthy had it not been the technical glitches with the code blocks and having to refresh the browser multiple times in order for the code to start working.

This course was well-designed and a great intro to Python. I loved the video setup, the quizzes, and the Python Labs in Jupyter. An important caveat to note here though is that it is very IT focused, so if you are learning Python for Data Science you may want to try another course.

Excellent diving into the right level of detail. The Object Oriented Programming optional section didn't seem right to me, somehow. Some struggles getting the Jupyter notebooks to behave properly. Their insertion towards the end of the course seemed forced and...... unnecessary.

El curso es muy bueno, tiene videos claros y fáciles de seguir, no se necesita mucho inglés para hacerlo, no me gustó mucho que los problemas planteados eran demasiado sobre matemática y no sobre problemas comunes o reales en el área de TI, pero en general estuvo genial.

Gracias

I found this course very interesting. Great emphasis was laid to the syntax and the topics were explained with clarity.

I thank the team at Google for putting together this wonderful course and Christine Rafla for delivering the course lectures with great enthusiasm and clarity.

The course is designed in such a way that it requires time and dedication to complete the course. The content is awesome. Just a thing that it has predefined codes (with comment) so we have to stick to the same procedure and can not go beyond but overall very good experience.

Great course. Learned a lot. Wish difficulty of the example questions within the vidoes were just as difficult as the questions on the test. I definately did not master everything in this course by a long shot but I do have a great idea of what I need to work on to improve.

The program is very good, the practice can get a little confusing because it can feel like you're learning something slightly different during the lesson. The lesson does a really good job of explaining the concepts and does a little less so on how to implement the concept.

Overall the learning process was very helpful, all concepts were told very crisply to the extent required for practical use. While attempting practice problem I faced error in seeing questions on ipad or my android phone. So some optimizations are required on coursera side

Great course for beginners with real industry automation examples given along with demonstrations.Input from user could also be included in this part of the code for code testing this necessary initially.Programming assignments were great to implement the concepts taught.
