TOP REVIEWS FROM LEARN TO PROGRAM: THE FUNDAMENTALS
A wonderful and knowledgeable course. It was quite intuitive in terms of understanding the concept. The examples used for the explanation were quite relatable. Overall it was an amazing course.
The course is interesting. I love that students can access all contents without any paywall and you can submit your code for grading (unlike some certain courses which require you to pay for that)
Very engaging and easy to follow. I have previous programming experience and this helped me refresh on those. The assessments and assignments were fun to solve and helped in hands-on learning.
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.
