About the Course

This course introduces the basics of Python 3, including conditional execution and iteration as control structures, and strings and lists as data structures. You'll program an on-screen Turtle to draw pretty pictures. You'll also learn to draw reference diagrams as a way to reason about program executions, which will help to build up your debugging skills. The course has no prerequisites. It will cover Chapters 1-9 of the textbook "Fundamentals of Python Programming," which is the accompanying text (optional and free) for this course. The course is for you if you're a newcomer to Python programming, if you need a refresher on Python basics, or if you may have had some exposure to Python programming but want a more in-depth exposition and vocabulary for describing and reasoning about programs. This is the first of five courses in the Python 3 Programming Specialization....

It's a must join course for the people who want to deep dive into the world of Python. I really loving this course very much. I wanna explore more hence opting for other parts of this specialization.

Great course and easy to follow. The only suggestion I have is to do lesson 2 the best you can then move on because some of the practice questions have answers from lessons that come after this one.

Great course to start with Python. The additional digital book is great with the practise module in it. For me it was a little to basic, and some explained codes are strange. I can´t see the use of it.

Basic course, very well eplained. For those who are a little more experienced, in some situations it may seems boring, but a review never hurts. What hurts instead is the humor of a certain professor.

This is a great course for getting started in Python. If you have (even rusty) programming skills, it might seem a little slow in places. Trust me, pay attention - you will still learn new things.

This course teaches you not only the basics of programming in Python, but also teaches you the right way to approach problems by thinking analytically, both in programming and in everyday life.

The class is very basic. Excellent for people without a programming background. Slow for those who do, but you can skip through concepts you already understand. The exercises are very useful.

I really like this course. It's simple enough to be easy to follow, but serious enough to actually learn things. The e-book tool is of enormous help. I really liked it. Keep up the good work!

The course provides different methods to learning - video, reading, and skills challenges. While the repetition of material slowed things down, it helps retain information for the beginner.

Excellent content, one of the finest and to the point teaching, just one thing is that it's kind of boring sometimes. just little that if that can be worked upon than thsi will be the best.

Highly recommended for beginners who want to learn python. There is also a practice method and assignments which helped a lot. The Codelens helps us to understand what really is happening.
