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....

Some help should have been provided for the final submission not in the form of doing half the coding but with understanding errors. This being a crash course and for non-technical students too, sometimes it becomes difficult to understand the error code.

Also since class and objects are optional and complicated quite frankly, errors related to same in final submission with no partial marking was quite a setback.

Hope I was able to convey the problem, but the course content was otherwise great and I learned a lot. Thank you!! :D

Excellent way of teaching, practice quiz and graded assignment and the questions asked during the videos are a good way to comprehend the subject.

Thank you Google for your wonderful team who made this programme success. You keept your words that "Fresher with no IT background can complete this course". I am a middle aged mad with no background of programming. I was afraid initially when I joined this programme. Thank you once again for boosting my confidence and others who are trying to learn through you. God bless you all!

The Crash Course on Python provides a great introduction of programming to any contributor who has no prior experience but still want to get into the data field. Through this course, I learned the basic concepts of Conditionals, Loops, Strings, Lists, Dictionaries, Objects and many more.

Overall, this course enhanced my skillset and as a new Data Analyst, I got some more useful tools into my toolkit. As a new programmer, I think train your brain for programming is the most important and bit challenging part of the program.

it was fabulous learning experience and most interesting to me is the videos for short duration by which it propelled me to watch videos several times when I have got stuck in this course. Practice plays major role while learning rather getting knowledge just by listening. Practice questions helped me a lot to learn new concepts perfectly and also to solve assignment questions

My suggestion is that you can also involve tutor in discussion prompt or otherwise provide any mean of social media to connect with tutor

Excelente. Me encanta esta plataforma. Todo está hecho de una manera excelente: las explicaciones, los ejercicios, los exámenes.

El único mínimo detalle es que el examen final debí realizarlo dos veces. Sin cambiar en nada el código, la primera vez lo desaprobé (a pesar de haber generado lo solicitado) y la segunda lo aprobé.

De todos modos, fue una gran experiencia. No sabía nada de Python y terminé el curso teniendo los conocimientos básicos esperados. Espero poder participar de los próximos cursos de Python.

It provided a comprehensive introduction to the basics of Python programming. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking to start coding in Python. Although it was a bit fast-paced for individuals who are also working, allocating 2 to 3 hours daily to study would be sufficient. In my opinion, there is no better course than this one for getting started with Python. I am grateful to Coursera, Google, and especially Christine Rafla for their efforts in creating such a valuable learning resource.

Thanks to the teachers for everything!In this course, I learned a lot about how and where you can put your knowledge of the Python programming language into practice.Most of all I learned about all data types including strings, lists, dictionaries, loops. I outlined all this on 50+ pages! Priceless knowledge!Thanks to you Coursera and Google, I am sure a bright, bright, happy future awaits me!I will definitely continue to take your courses.P.S. Special thanks to Coursera for providing financial assistance!

I am completely new to programming, and I have been seeking to learn Python. Despite exploring various online resources, I found that none of them proved to be particularly helpful. Subsequently, I decided to enroll in a Python course on Coursera that caters to beginners. Throughout this course, I have gained a deeper understanding of Python programming. The course has been instrumental in introducing me to new concepts, and it has significantly contributed to my journey of getting started with Python.

Crash Course on Python es un curso muy completo. La instructora es excelente y sus videos muy refrescantes ya que siempre transmite buenas sensaciones. Las tareas a veces bastante complicadas si las comparas con las explicaciones de los videos, aunque pienso que eso es mejor que lo contrario. El tema opcional de "Programación Orientada a Objetos me costó bastante porque era mi primer contacto con este paradigma. Tuve que detenerme para sentirme ligeramente seguro en el tema. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

The last project is more demanding than usual, but, we survived. Fortunately, we can use powerful libraries developed by an enthusiastic community. On the other hand, this language is easy to learn, even though the blocks must have the right indentation. We miss the curly braces to delimit the blocks of code. I tried to figure out the problem with the widget. Maybe the instructors did it on purpose, leaving a rock in the middle of the highway to see if we really are problem solvers or not. Ha ha ha

Liked a lot this course! Its super easy to follow along, the videos are self contained and highlight key concepts worth remembering in order to improve skills. The OOP and recursion sections were very interesting, as well as the excercises with them; some beginners courses of Python don't include them so it was a plus. Finally I liked the quizzes between the videos, as they challenge you to follow along the concepts and keeping them in mind. Enjoyed this a lot and looking forward to the next one!

This course was great! I have been mostly a manual tester (but I have coded in COBOL before, that uses a very different paradigm). Now, when I look at code in my current organization (Python), I am able to read it more easily and clearly and understand the flow.

While writing complex code takes a lot of practice (and I sure intend to keep practicing), this course has greatly increased my ability to read code and understand the flow (and write small scripts) for the time being.

Highly recommended.

Course is well organized with a lot of essential Python information given to the beginner programmer

at a good pace, with exercises and test questions to allow master the new material. Students forum

allows to share learners problems , solutions or misconceptions to help new learner to proceed at a

decent pace. The Final project using Jupyter notebooks is a little bit difficult for a new learner and should be modified with instructions suggesting to a student to search Google for some solutions.

Excellent intro course for beginners to programming. Any time I felt hung up, it was usually due to me missing something in the video. Every sentence during explanations is important and may be the missing key to completing something later. Don't overlook anything. If you need more examples of something used in other situations, just use a websearch or the stack overflow website. They even encourage it and provide weblinks for various resources since researching is invaluble in the work place.

At last I was able to take a course that has had the following:

1. Didactic with examples in an IT environment.

2. Exercises increasingly complex.

3. And links to various sources to keep practicing.

Previously I took the Python course twice with other institutions, but they were very simple, it seemed that you already mastered it, when in reality you didn't leave a very basic level.

Instead, this Google course led by Christine Rafla has pushed me a lot more than expected. Now, if I feel satisfied.

very useful course for the learners who just want to get started with Python. The course gradually raises the level of difficulty and deliver the content such that learners can learn it with fun. The course instructor teaches the concepts by taking the real world examples which help us in the better understanding of concepts. I particularly liked the object oriented programming part of this course. Though it was optional one, but in my opinion, it is the best value addition for me.

Dear, Christine Rafla,

You're an excellent teacher, I'm so grateful for your support and believing in our knowledge. Your enthusiasm is easy to catch and feel. But it even can't describe the advantages of the course, you also provided us with really interesting examples, which is easy for understanding for the first time. Thank you for your job☺🤩

And especially want to thank each member of your team for producing such an amazing course. Can't wait to continue my studying with you)

This is an excellent crash course on python. I was having prior experience of programming languages such as C,C++ and Java and I wasn't intended to learn python. I was looking for a course that can teach me python quickly without much efforts and this satisfied my all needs. The instructor is really fantastic. Her way of teaching and excitement made learning python fun. I would like to thank the creators of this course and especially to the instructor. You are extremely fabulous.

The materials in the google developers class for python are well organised. They teach you concepts, syntax and then let you challenge the concepts by providing the problem sets for you to solve.

After a bit of struggle, I was able to solve them. Before the end of week I was able to make interesting and interactive GUI applications.

I didn't try the newboston, so I can't really comment on it.

Welcome to the community of awesome programming language. print "Happy coding!"

It is my first course but If I said about this course in a few words about its lecture "It is short and sweet " and the assignments as we going forward a week to another week the difficulty level is increasing. It helps the learner to give pressure on his brain. and logical thinking also developed.

The way of teaching of the instructor is very good and it developed a healthy conversation with the learner.

Overall It is the best course to start learning the python basics.

Thank you so much for providing me with this course. I truly appreciate the opportunity to learn and expand my knowledge. Although transitioning from C++ to Python may present some challenges, I am confident that I can grasp the concepts effectively with dedication and practice. Additionally, I am excited to learn Bootstrap further, as it will enhance my web development skills. Once again, I am grateful for the valuable learning experience you have provided me with.

I really enjoyed this course. It was a nice mix of difficulty and pace where I could complete things while still working a full time job and making time for family. I learned concepts in a structured manner that was much easier than when I attempted to learn everything from scratch last year when attempting to solve an issue with zero Python experience. Highly recommended, especially if you are like me, with 20 years of IT experience and you need to skill up :).

This is an amazing course for a beginner as well as for a person who just want to refresh his or her concepts in Python.

This course takes you from the basics to advance concepts of python.

It was a great journey and was worth time spend.

The thing that made the whole course so easy to understand , fun and interactive was the Instructor who gave us motivation and willingness to work at our level best.

Thank you everyone who have worked on making this course a success.

As someone who only have -learn-in-the-field knowledge of Visual Basic for Applications, this course succeed in teaching me fundamentals and actual coding practice to me in a fun and interesting way. The final project is also fun and when I made it, I really feel the sense of achievement(dang )

The puns are funny too.( in a polite manner lmao) anyway its better than talking through the lecture like a boring professor in the college. Cant wait to continue my journey.

Well, first of all, I'd like to thank Christine and all the team, which participated during making this cource. That was cool and interesting to learn how this this works and even try it by myself. I really liked the way as the material is given in interacting form. Hope, this will be the same way in future cources. The easiest thing for me was list and data structure. And the hardest one were classes and several of the last tasks. But that was really cool to try!
