TOP REVIEWS FROM LEARN TO PROGRAM: THE FUNDAMENTALS
As a complete beginner in the world of programming, this is one of the best courses I have found. The instructors are excellent. I thank them for taking the time to develop such a useful course.
Great for a fundamental course. I have to admit that I had learnt python a few years back and was using this as a practice and revision course. But I learnt a lot more which I can add to my knowledge.
I learned about many things, like: Structures, commands, properties, how to create functions, programs. Those things needed to be practices everyday and with the practices we get more envolved
I enjoyed this course very much. The concepts were well explained. I gave only 4 stars because I wish there were more assignments to do instead of the quizzes. All in all great intro into programming.
