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.

really focus on foundational concept that would otherwise be ignored for self-learners. The course is a bit too easy to pass though.

Course went very slowly, if you already are facile with one programming language, and needs a good edit, but not bad overall.

A well-paced and interactive course that provides a student who has no coding experience to learn python. Highly recommended.

It should have an option to capture user info about any programming language so that some lectures could be optional for them

One thing I couldn't do is to set the time zone on the register course under America? Because Texas wasn't listed on there?

Excellent course! a lot of good information. I really enjoyed it. My only issue was, you shouldn't get 100% for trying.
