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....

The course was interesting. Need a lot of different examples in week four for list, dictionaries, they have givne less which making excercises lil bit tricky. But that was good for me. Week 6 was tough for me, writing scripts and all. I have never done that before and to honestly tell you. I have done the final project but still, I have difficulties in that concept to understand. But I thing, if I get more exposed to the scripts like this, the more I get to know.

This course has great stuff to learn and to understand. We can learn how the scripting can be written in doing a particular task in day to day life with automation. Especially our Instructor Christine Rafla is very intelligent. She knows how to teach to the learners. She taught us in an effective way. A big thanks to our Instructor Christina Rafla for teaching us. Excited to learn from you mam in the near future. Thanks again Coursera and our Instructor too.

This is a great Course for beginers very well structured instant quizes at the end of ecah video make me to implement what I have learned , but the course instructor will not explain you as a beginner you have to think a lot to implement your answer which is great to improve your knowledge at last the final project was bit annoying as there is lot of complication in submitting the final graded assignment over all its a great course to beginner .

As I have started and first time achieved the online certification so I will give full ☆☆☆☆☆ stars

but one thing as a note the difficulty level was maintained in this course that was great and tough for a slow learner (mostly understanding part ) like me.

So for a suggestion I want that you should provide more number of questions in quantity in terms of a particular quality so as learner will never forget the concept in future...

And thankyou...🥳🙏😀👍

The training was well-knit into a 6-week course. I have a little bit of programming experience from about 2 decades back. This helped me with the logical commands like "if" and "for". I wish it had been simpler to complete the tasks at the end of each week. Sometimes it was really difficult to solve the problems in the assignment without a lot of practice and examples from stackoverflow,geekforgeeks and w3schools. Might be google wants it that way.

Curso muy bien preparado, se nota la mejora contínua con las aportaciones de los usuarios y solución de los problemas con los que se van encontrando. Me gustaría que hubiese un apartado de ejemplos de uso para poder ir a consultarlo rápidamente, aunque incluso fueran los mismos que se utilizan en los vídeos. Lo recomiendo tanto si tu objetivo es repasar los conceptos de programación en Python como si quieres aprender casi desde 0 el lenguaje Python.

Well structured, prepaed, and explained. Totally recommended!

It's not easy but not too difficult, it's the correct level.

For week 1-3, I needed 3-4 hours a week, starting for week 4-6, I needed roughly 8-10 hours a week.

The assignments are sometimes challenging but perfect to practice Python.

my only comment that the wording of the assignments wasn't sometimes clear to understand. I guess they wanted to simulate the problems in the real world :)

I recently completed a crash course on Python and I am extremely pleased with the results. The course was comprehensive and easy to follow, covering all the basics of the language. The instructor was knowledgeable and patient, and the course was well-structured and organized. I was able to learn the fundamentals of Python in a very short amount of time. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to get started with Python. Five stars!

I really enjoyed this course, it was quite challenging and fairly easy to follow along. I never felt totally lost even when I may have needed extra time to fully grasp different ideas. I have taken programming courses in the past, so I have understanding of algorithm structure and logic, but that was more than a decade ago and I never got into the IT field for work. I hope to be able to change careers from completing this series of courses.

A great course with extremely simple language that was so easy to understand. The main thing that stood out for me were the assignments after each session which helps tremendously in improving the concepts and in-depth knowledge. Excellent way to start python language, you'll surely develop more interest in this language after this course. I suggest to do try this course. I am really satisfied with what i have learnt. Thank you so much!!!!!

I had fun doing this course! I learned a lot of useful techniques and I feel comfortable in programming in Python now. I feel that the assignments in Week 5 and Week 6 were a little complicated and could be extremely difficult for anyone experiencing this course as their first time coding. I, however, have had experience in programming in other languages so that seemed to help out in that area. Either way, great course and very enjoyable!

I really enjoyed this class. I learned a lot of new stuff while improving upon some of the things I was already familiar with. My only recommendations would be to include the answers to the questions that pop-up within the videos sometimes. There were a few instances where I could not figure the question out and just had to move on without ever knowing what I was doing wrong which would bother me as I at least wanted to see the solution.

This is a must to have course to those who are first time coding language learners and to those who are shifting to Python as other language. Seems there is lot to learn under Pyhton world. Its just the tip of the iceberg. The thing that matters most is a good start. The lesssons from the enthusisastic traner keeps you engaged and guides you perectly. It never felt that its prerecorded session, feeling of almost live learning experience.

The approach in this course is commendable. It goes through the basics of different data types like Strings, Lists, Dictionaries. It then slowly transitions to Object Oriented Programming. It was a surprise to see how easily a concept of Object Oriented Programming was explained. It's not just a plain python course for beginners. It's more than that! I learned how to make code more readable, new concepts and seeing programming in a flow.

The course was well thought out and well paced. The instructor was very effective. I was able to complete the entire course on my iPhone with only occasional challenges navigating the pages; for some reason the run button was often overlayed on top of the spot where I was trying to either read, scroll, or type. On a desktop or laptop I would imagine one would not have any of these issues. I feel I learned a lot in a short timeframe.

One of the most interesting Python courses I have ever attended. The course structure is very good and the assignments and quizzes are very interesting and engaging. You will have to work a lot in order to pass the quizzes if you are learning Python for the first time. Even for a non-beginner like me, I had to be really focused for the quizzes. The final project could have been a little more interesting though. All in all a good course.

Wonderful course in python so far !! Learned many new minute details about the syntax and semantics in python . A very disciplined course outline and structure makes it easy to beginners for grasping complex topics and diving into possibilities effortlessly. Thank you Christine Rafla for being a wonderful instructor, Hope to learn from more of your courses. Excited to start my new python journey ahead.

Thank you team Google and Coursera.

Thanks for a great course! I wasn't a complete newbie in Python and programming, but still, it was really challenging for me sometimes and interesting too! Also, love how you teach. Using functions from the start, real-world tasks and giving the material that students can use right away - I think it's great, as opposed to learning algorithms for a long time and only then learning how to manipulate strings, and dictionaries for examlpe.

This course is amazing! The instructor seems to be extremely enthusiastic about teaching and what she's teaching. I had some experience with Python before so this course is not challenging and I can still warm up my knowledge as well as learn some new stuff. However, for someone who has no previous experience in coding, this is not an easy course, but once you've completed it, it's rewarding! Overall, I highly recommend this course!

Instructor made the course fun and kept my attention. The instructor was a gem and hardly made any mistakes. I really like that the course tackled difficult concepts in the IT field but only focused our attention to what was needed in each lesson. No lesson overreached. I have read python crash course books and an interactive tutorials that were amazing but being able to read, listen, watch, and interact while learning is next level.

I'm very impressed. The information was presented clearly and the course structure seemed very well thought out. I work as a developer, so much of this was review, but I thought the clear way in which the topics were presented would would real well for someone who is a bit more of a beginner. This is the first tech course from Google that I've taken on Coursera. I plan to take more of their courses after seeing how nicely done it is.

The course was an awesome experience to me! I could develop and learn a lot of new things about Python syntax, data structure and OOP. The course was very clear, and I could enjoy my time while studying it. I am pretty sure that this course will help me so much to develop my professional skills and I am looking forward to keep all the other courses of this specialization to have a chance to get good opportunities on the job market.

As I am from an electronics background, I started with basics steps by watching some youtube videos on Python. It's always about the curiosity and interest that has to developed whenever you are starting to learn a new skill apart from your curriculum. So ended up taking google crash course on Coursera and this really helped me broaden my knowledge in Python. Thanks to Google for making this course feasible and easy to understand.

A great place to start out with Python. Little to no experience beyond basic computer usage required. For experienced programmers learning python, this course is probably doable in a week or two if you have a few hours per day to put in. Will leave you with a good foundation in Python, but will require the next course in this series to get that real world project capability (writing full scripts, interacting with files/the OS).

All I can say is that Google and every member of the team has made such a wonderful job delivering this course, I have already been tackling python but not from the right start.Taking this course was like building the missed base all over, which made me able to understand many concepts and put all the terminology in my head, but this time, in the right place. I recommend this course for everyone who wants to learn what Python is.
