About the Course

This course introduces the basics of Python 3, including conditional execution and iteration as control structures, and strings and lists as data structures. You'll program an on-screen Turtle to draw pretty pictures. You'll also learn to draw reference diagrams as a way to reason about program executions, which will help to build up your debugging skills. The course has no prerequisites. It will cover Chapters 1-9 of the textbook "Fundamentals of Python Programming," which is the accompanying text (optional and free) for this course. The course is for you if you're a newcomer to Python programming, if you need a refresher on Python basics, or if you may have had some exposure to Python programming but want a more in-depth exposition and vocabulary for describing and reasoning about programs. This is the first of five courses in the Python 3 Programming Specialization....

It's a must join course for the people who want to deep dive into the world of Python. I really loving this course very much. I wanna explore more hence opting for other parts of this specialization.

The class is very basic. Excellent for people without a programming background. Slow for those who do, but you can skip through concepts you already understand. The exercises are very useful.

I really like this course. It's simple enough to be easy to follow, but serious enough to actually learn things. The e-book tool is of enormous help. I really liked it. Keep up the good work!

great for beginners but the textbook is good but i would like to have a PDF textbook for practice offline and need more exercises on debugging during the 4 week trail and the official course.

The course provides different methods to learning - video, reading, and skills challenges. While the repetition of material slowed things down, it helps retain information for the beginner.

Excellent content, one of the finest and to the point teaching, just one thing is that it's kind of boring sometimes. just little that if that can be worked upon than thsi will be the best.

I enrolled this course just after completing Python for everybody.

The e-textbook provided was slightly user unfriendly, but otherwise the course was helpful for new programming learners.

That was a really useful one to refresh Python knowledge. Recommend to everyone who is either new to Python (or programming even) or the ones who want to refresh the knowledge. Thank you.

The python basics course is pretty awesome that even a person from non programming background will find it easy to learn and is more practical with the codelens and builtin code editors.
