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....

Sometimes I would get stuck. I wish there were more examples, but more help in each example. Frustrating to get stuck and have no clue how to continue without googling, which often gives answer without any effort. I wish I could choose to do other similar ones until I felt I was able to continue.

É um ótimo curso introdutório. Ótima didatica porém deveria ter mais exemplos semelhantes com os do exercicios, muitas vezes teremos que procurar qual a logica dos exercícios na internet, especialmente no StackOverFlow para poder raciocinar qual o sentido da pergunta e assim responder a questão.

The course was great , with a lot of informtion . Teaching method of tutor was also great and was friendly. The best part of the course is its quizzes and assignments. Though i found that more solved examples could have been given so its easy for new learners to grasp and understand concepts.

Although I've learned the basic concepts of Automation with Python, this course runs really fast for beginners. I like how it introduces the general idea and expects learners to dive deeper on their own, but it contradicts the idea of taking a course where it promotes deep learning experience.

Great beginning course! The instructor was engaging and encouraging and I enjoyed the examples and problems. I'd like to see a few more docstrings and correct output to compare with my output in the Jupyter notebooks. The OOP coverage delved just far enough - it was too good to be optional.

It is a really nice break up of scripting concepts that would prove useful to any beginner or intermediate programmer or script writer, I definitely recommend this course to anyone trying to grasp the basic details of programming fundamentals and understanding strings and array structures.

It is daunting for a complete beginner to plunge headfirst into the world of Python programming. I'm glad that the instructor is very encouraging. Googling for solutions became quite easy, and I'm glad that there's plenty of answers out there. Very relieved to finally complete this course.

Covered much of the basics of programming in a logical, and systematic way. Had a lot of useful examples and user participation, especially for a pre-recorded online class. Maybe could have gone a touch faster, but when the user can watch videos on 2x speed, this really isn't an issue

The regular exercises and assignments throughout the course helped reinforce the concepts and its applications. Overall 5 start worthy had it not been the technical glitches with the code blocks and having to refresh the browser multiple times in order for the code to start working.

This course was well-designed and a great intro to Python. I loved the video setup, the quizzes, and the Python Labs in Jupyter. An important caveat to note here though is that it is very IT focused, so if you are learning Python for Data Science you may want to try another course.

Excellent diving into the right level of detail. The Object Oriented Programming optional section didn't seem right to me, somehow. Some struggles getting the Jupyter notebooks to behave properly. Their insertion towards the end of the course seemed forced and...... unnecessary.

El curso es muy bueno, tiene videos claros y fáciles de seguir, no se necesita mucho inglés para hacerlo, no me gustó mucho que los problemas planteados eran demasiado sobre matemática y no sobre problemas comunes o reales en el área de TI, pero en general estuvo genial.

Gracias

I found this course very interesting. Great emphasis was laid to the syntax and the topics were explained with clarity.

I thank the team at Google for putting together this wonderful course and Christine Rafla for delivering the course lectures with great enthusiasm and clarity.

The course is designed in such a way that it requires time and dedication to complete the course. The content is awesome. Just a thing that it has predefined codes (with comment) so we have to stick to the same procedure and can not go beyond but overall very good experience.

Great course. Learned a lot. Wish difficulty of the example questions within the vidoes were just as difficult as the questions on the test. I definately did not master everything in this course by a long shot but I do have a great idea of what I need to work on to improve.

The program is very good, the practice can get a little confusing because it can feel like you're learning something slightly different during the lesson. The lesson does a really good job of explaining the concepts and does a little less so on how to implement the concept.

Overall the learning process was very helpful, all concepts were told very crisply to the extent required for practical use. While attempting practice problem I faced error in seeing questions on ipad or my android phone. So some optimizations are required on coursera side

Great course for beginners with real industry automation examples given along with demonstrations.Input from user could also be included in this part of the code for code testing this necessary initially.Programming assignments were great to implement the concepts taught.

Great course with seamless transition among fundamental topics of Python programming. I loved the in-lecture questions and programming assignments in each week. Additionally, the project was easier than I thought thanks to in detailed explanation in the problem statement.

A stupendous course with a fabulous instructor, who made even the most boring things seem pretty simple. The content was comprehensive and to the point along with additional links for reading further. A good amount of practice and doubt-solving through discussion forums.

I am very Happy that google have given me a chance for learning new things. But the lecture may should have much technical discussions and there are some topic that overlooked or just touched a bit. Although it was a nice journey of learning new things. Thank you Google.

The course was really well done and the instructor explained the commands very fluently. The excercises were very cryptic though, especially in the last lessons. It seemed like they were geared for intermediate Pyhton programmers and were, in my opinion, too difficult.

Just The Course For a Beginner and Even for the Ones who want to Brush up their Python syntax and semantics who had been working in other languages and had a gap of not using python ....

as we all Know the more u use a language often the more u become efficient with it .

Not the most beginner friendly but certainly able to show and teach you some of the more amazing things that can be done with Python. I do recommend this course but you will need to teach yourself some of the topics in your free time to really get a grip on the matter.
