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....

The course by Google is very good. The presentation videos are awesome. Instructor explained very well. The only thing missing is some examples. Some of the practice tests are difficult for beginners. Without examples solving them is bit difficult.

Thank you

Interesting course in which contents related to Pynton programming are provided and put in practice by examples and coding assessments. Useful also the discussion fourm to exchange and solve issues and problems within the Coursera Pynton coders coursists.

Course id definitely interesting and helpful, helps with many concepts and the instructor is really awesome, but the problem is with the way some questions are described, its hard to understand what actually we are supposed to do. Everything else was fun.

Course did an excellent job in teaching beginning programming. I wish the course did not provide so much help in writing the code, I believe trial and error is essential and by keeping the training wheels on some might be unable to grasp topics further.

The course is really wonderful. I really enjoy learing python professionally. The one thing I really dislike on this course would be the online IDE. The online IDE does not have automatic function selection and it becomes really pain to type everything.

Fun course, but would prefer more opportunities to write whole code instead of just filling in the blanks. This would encourage critical thinking and problem-solving. Additionally, more practice questions would be beneficial for reinforcing concepts.

This is excellent for beginners. However, this course does not include/cover topics like decorators, dunder/magic functions, functional programming(lambda, reduce, filter, map) LEGB, etc. These topics are important for anyone who wanst to master python

Good course overall, although they do gloss over some elements of programming which could cause confusion if you have no prior experience at all. That being said it does what it says on the tin and provides a crash course on getting started with python

This crash is very helpful to take you to the world of python. It is very good course for beginners. As this is a crash course don't expect that each and every bit of python will be taught, but it will give you all the key concepts to start learning.

It is very engaging and interesting. It does teach a lot in an easy way. It does however skip over some things but then will expect you to do it in the quizzes. Luckily it is not to hard to find out what needs to be done through the discussion forums.

See my notes in the final discussion section. The Jupyter Notebooks were often buggy and I had to figure out ways around the problems. Although that wasted a lot of my time, I would recommend the course. Please fix the Jupyter notebook problems.

The tutor was amazing, her nature of talking and communication with us student was just awesome. She taught every thing smoothly. one more thing you have to do lot of practice as you move on this course will become harder little bit. so be focused

A very well-packed course for everyone who wishes to learn the basics of python in a fun and interesting way. I had the most fun in doing the final project of this course. Really helpful and concepts are explained in the simplest of ways possible.

I thought the course was well done and the topics were relevant. The improvements I would recommend are, more repetition with these fundamental tasks and a way to check answers and potentially hints on the exercises embedded in the video lectures.

El curso es bueno y está bien segmentado. Las axplicaciones de la instructora son claras.

Para mejorar, creo que algunas preguntas en los ejercicios no son claras y para los que no tienen el inglés como lengua nativa cuesta un poco mas entenderlas.

There are a minimal amount of instructions and examples so you will need to do a lot of research outside of the course, but the course seems to be a good framework for directing your studies and testing information you should know and understand.

And what made me to leave one star behind is though the topic level is basic but the questions or the exercises we are going through are bit difficult .

Hope the questions would be at medium level rather than at low or high difficulty level

Being a beginner, I found the last part where I came across a complex file upload routing most difficult to get my arms around. I am used to the simple file uploads but not this. I am trying to crack this but am disappointed with this....

Overall the course was very good ! The excersice at the end of every module was challenging due to the fact that code blocks messed up now and then with the indentation error ! The instructor was friendly and good and what she taught ..

The learning journey was excellent except for some points :

1 there aren't too much exercises to practice

2 Some questions in the lab or the quiz were not very explained

But I like that the videos are short and there is no deadline.

The videos had very very basic problems and then for the actual quizes the problems were waaaay too difficult. I get it but it's like too much of a gap. And the problems weren't really always clear as to what they're asking of you

Excellent course.

I would have given it 5 stars if it had provided more exercices with solutions, and if the steepness of the learning curve had been more equal throughout.

Still very happy to have completed it ! Totally worth it.

Wonderfully produced course with very good instructor, script, organization, and assessments. Only problem is you most probably will encounter a problem trying to run the Jupyter notebook by the time you reach the course project.

The only criticism would be that video explanations were oversimplified. Videos only covered really basic examples, but then practice assessments would be much harder than things discussed in the videos... otherwise great course!

Well-developed course with interesting practices and hellped me be a lot more confident in learning beginning to learn python.

However, Week 5 felt a little rushed, and more practices to understand the material would be helpful.
