TOP REVIEWS FROM CRASH COURSE ON PYTHON
Great course! I had some previous knowledge, but this was perfect to fill in the gaps. Also, unit testing was completely new to me and will be very useful in future projects. Thanks for making this!
It's one of the best courses available on the internet. They have covered real-world examples and believe me, you will enjoy those challenges. Take it if you want to learn the Python in a right way.
Very good crash course. Considering myself not a Python novice, maybe intermediate level, I even learned something new. Don't expect to be a Python expert after this, though, as it is a crash course.
Very thorough coursework. The approach was a little reversed from other python intro courses but i appreciated this method as it felt more natural. Looking forward to the rest of the specialization.
