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.

Excelente curso, sobre todo para quienes comienzan a aprender python.

Es un maravilloso curso para todos aquellos que han finalizado la especialización Python for Everybody ya que se profundizan mucho más todos los conceptos abordados dentro de dicha especialización (y más!!)

I would recommend this course for anyone who wants to learn Python, but do not know where to start. Although, I had previous basic Python programming experience, I still learned several new things, and I found the exercises in this course really entertaining and helpful.

The Course is very useful especially for beginners. It also has a textbook feature where the programmers can practice coding and solve some exercises, which makes this course even more special. Overall, it's a first stepping stone towards learning to program using Python3

Nice basics course. I consider exercises to be didactic and well structured. You will get the basic concepts of programming as well as a nice introduction to the Python language. As an experienced developer, I completed the whole course in less than two hours. Have fun!!

The course is designed very well. The videos, text explains the concept in great detail. The assessments are also prepared very well making me think and code and i enjoy doing them. With the practice i have done sofar, i can write basic python codes by myself.

Thankyou.

Very good teaching from basics, even if you don't have any knowledge of programming you can go with the course blindly, but some times you may face challenges you can always visit the forum and put up your doubt or when you get stuck I'm sure that someone will help you

I came into this course with virtually no knowledge of Python programming, and have since learned quite a bit and now have a solid foundation for continuing my learning. Course load was very manageable, and provided a good balance of lectures, reading, and assignments.

This course is a review for those of us who have done the Python for Everybody Specialization, but it goes into a few interesting additional detail, specially around mutation, assignment and some typical patterns. It's a bit slow at times but a very solid foundation.

I find the pacing of the lessons perfect. Some of the exercises were quite challenging, but doable. I find that good because it tested my understanding of the lesson. This is highly recommended if you want to have a good foundation on Python and build on from there.

I would recommend this course to everyone . I had prior programming knowledge in C , but still this course taught me new things. Instructors are good (watch at 1.25X tho) and runestone textbook is awesome. The tests are also fine and check your understanding well.

A great course, teaching is top class, the virtual learning environment is the best I've seen! Course advances very logically and there is plenty of exercises to get the needed repetitions to learn the course topics. Highly recommended as your first Python course!

This course (and the following specialization courses) are extremely well explained. Each concept is presented detail by detail, with animations (runestone) of code changes at each stage. It is infinitely superior to the most famous 'Python for Everybody' course.

The main thing I liked about the course is the videos in which basics were taught from scratch which were followed by readings including multiple choice questions.Then,the main things were the assignments which really helped in concept building of python basics.

The course is very good for Python beginners. It covers all the basics and we were challenged with some real world coding problems. I especially find the "The way of programmers" useful as it introduces good coding practices that are rarely mentioned elsewhere.

It was amazing to learn python form scratch. It was interesting to learn from University of Michigan. The interactive textbook and explanation of each example was cool to learn. The assignments were always useful for applying the logic and flow of execution.
