It gave a good introduction to the basics of Python, and clearly showed how programs are constructed part by part in the Final project. Even though some portions are outdated by now, it still served as a very good introduction to Python.

So clear, concise and easy to understand. Great, funny lecturer. Really makes python enjoyable, helped me realise I can be good at coding. This is a beginners course- these skills build a really good base so I am confident that when I go on to learn more advanced skills, I will be able to code proficiently as part of my job when I leave uni. Would really recommend.

This was a pretty nice beginner's course. I am really happy with it.
There are some things I wish they went a little more in-depth on.
Lists and Dictionaries come to mind.

I was already attempting to write some code before I took this class and I was trying to do some automation for my job copying files from a source directory to another location.

I had figured out how to do this, and in the first iteration of my program, it was just the same code over and over (about 6 times) for each folder to the new target destination.

I picked up this course and as soon as he started talking about functions it started to click for me that I could use functions to get rid of the repetition in my code.

So from there, I would revise my code and then continue to watch the course, and as I learned more kept continuing to revise the code based on the new stuff I learned.

One of the things I mentioned above about lists. I really think you should give an example of how a list could be used for daily tasks.

In my program, I need to stop a bunch of windows services and then start them again at the end of the program.

using a list to name all the services and then using a for loop to loop through that list to turn off the services and turn them back on I feel would be a good and easy example of how lists could benefit a person.

When I finished the List section of this course I had no understanding of how I could use lists in future programs

I got equipped with the basics, and the assignment will be a great reference for my future codes for a while because it used all the stuff I learnt.

I started this course a while ago and forgot about it due to work pressures. I just found the course again and I'm loving it. The content is easy to follow and understand, and I like the way the content is laid out. I'm looking forward to restarting some of my projects now, with a better understanding of syntax and how Python fits together.

Instructor makes some basic mistakes and lacks knowledge. Students mentioning it years ago got basically ignored. Don't buy this one. Better look for a well maintained course from an instructor that cares. Wouldn't recommend to buy it.
