Love this course, not only for learning Python, but also for the start programmers! The instructor just made the programming so easy
This course is a perfect one for people who are beginning to take their first steps in the world of Python (and programming, in general).. All the lectures, assignments, and the course materials offer quite good insight to basic and fundamental programming concepts..
And, considering the syntactical ease of Python, it makes programming easy to learn and understand, removing the extra clutter found in the more traditional languages like C/C++ or Java,,
And, finally, the instructor, Prof. Charles Severance, who is more affectionately called Dr. Chuck just mixes fun and learning to create quite an exciting and memorable teaching environment,
But, while all of this good, I felt that this course lacked the bite for a more advanced learner or someone who has spent sometime in the world of programming.. The complexity of the quizzes or the assignments are at beginner level... Best for complete beginners..
But, like i mentioned earlier, it is very easy to rush the whole course in a couple of days time or at most, one week for an advanced learner.
This course lays the foundation for the more advanced courses in Python.. Technically, it is the first part of the Programming for Everybody specialization, which consists of 5 courses, revolving around the world of Python..
So, my final advice to all beginners is to take their sweet time understanding and grasping these fundamental concepts,, These form the foundation stone for any programming language as well as Computer Science world. Don't worry about the assignments, you will get more than ample time to complete them and succeed in them..
Plus, I feel that you will also enjoy some of the bonus interviews.. They could be quite motivating or thought-provoking..
And, for advanced beginners, you can rush through this course and brush up on some basic concepts to move into more advanced courses, which will not only be a lot more challenging and catering more advanced and diverse concepts and topics..
And, in my opinion, this specialization package could be, at this current moment, the best possible experience when compared to learning the basics of Python online.. And, could be the closest thing to a face-to-face learning experience..
This course is a must!
Great easy intro to best programming language.
Very good lecture but the lecturer really can be precised.
Easy to follow. The professor entertains you and make you progress throughout the course and let you understand how programming work. Great way to entertain and teach! Great course!
Such a great course!! I'm going to follow the other courses of this specialization!
A Thousand of thanks professor Chuck!!
While the videos are optional the virtual office hours are unnecessary. If the instructor were to film some of the q&a at these sessions they would be a nice addition, but as is we watch a few minutes of people introducing themselves in a foreign country.
Overall nice course.
Permet de ce mettre et/ou remettre à la programmation en python en douceur
