In this course, you will be introduced to foundational programming skills with basic Python Syntax. You’ll learn how to use code to solve problems. You’ll dive deep into the Python ecosystem and learn popular modules, libraries and tools for Python.
You’ll also get hands-on with objects, classes and methods in Python, and utilize variables, data types, control flow and loops, functions and data structures. You’ll learn how to recognize and handle errors and you’ll write unit tests for your Python code and practice test-driven development. By the end of this course, you will be able to: • Prepare your computer system for Python programming • Show understanding of Python syntax and how to control the flow of code • Demonstrate knowledge of how to handle errors and exceptions • Explain object-oriented programming and the major concepts associated with it • Explain the importance of testing in Python, and when to apply particular methods This is a beginner course for learners who would like to prepare themselves for a career in back-end development or database engineering. To succeed in this course, you do not need prior web development experience, only basic internet navigation skills and an eagerness to get started with coding.

The course is just well laid out, with concepts broken down into smaller chunks for easier understanding. This is by far the best programming course i have ever taken.
ZI
It is a basic, mostly theory-based course with few assignments which are easy. If you are a beginner it is a ok course. If you are an intermediate, you could find it a little bit boring.

Great course, while taking it, i was also a python college course. This course helped to provide a more indepth understanding of the concepts I was learning
OI
it was great, the only problem i have with it is some of the more technical parts need to go a bit more slow. for example the file handling in python as well as the nested classes
SS
This course offers an excellent opportunity to develop and elevate my technical skills. I suggest everyone who is interested in learning Python to consider enrolling in it.
