About the Course

Learning Python gives the programmer a wide variety of career paths to choose from. Python is an open-source (free) programming language that is used in web programming, data science, artificial intelligence, and many scientific applications. Learning Python allows the programmer to focus on solving problems, rather than focusing on syntax. Its relative size and simplified syntax give it an edge over languages like Java and C++, yet the abundance of libraries gives it the power needed to accomplish great things. In this tutorial you will create a guessing game application that pits the computer against the user. You will create variables, decision constructs, and loops in python to create the game. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions....

Great introduction to python and its functions and loops. Allows you to code on the other side of the screen which lets you practice as you learn. Terrific for beginners.

Very bad. In lab session, different code appears on the terminal provided visual studio code noVNC and when running code. Please look into this. No beginner will understand this course

I tried really hard to follow but my screen in visual studio looked very different from the instructors and things just didn't work. Not a good course for a true beginner.

Its not an introduction to Python at all. For a non techie & non programmer, I didn't understand anything at all.
