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.

Well explained and great way to start learning Python. Sometimes the speed of the course was too slow, but on the other hand the assignments could be challenging forcing you to really understand the syntax.

Very well structured and paced for the beginning programmer. Concepts are clearly introduced, walked-through, and then multiple exercises are provided for the student to develop hands-on coding experience.

Amazing course that will teach you nuances of the language that you simply will never be able to grasp in a traditional class. Even if you know Python already, this course is absolutely worth going through.

At the beginning I thought It was rather basic, but later on I realize how important was coming to the basics for having a solid foundation. I found out my foundations were weak. I really loved the course!

I wish all other programming languages had courses on the same level of professionalism, love & dedication as what is put into this course. We need something like this for all other programming languages.

I absolutely loved this course. The most powerful aspect of this course is its simplicity and Runestone Interactive. Now I am very well accustomed with strings, lists, tuples and various methods for them.

For anyone who is interested to take up Python, this is the course for you. The CodeLens feature is especially helpful for students who have problems understanding the working processes of an interpreter.

Great course! It is very detail instruction. I was learn Python for Everybody (Course 1 and 2) of Dr Chuck. It was great too but in this course I understand more about detail of python. And I love both.

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.
