It all started with an idea. I wanted freedom... badly. Freedom from work, freedom from boredom, and, most of all, the freedom to choose. This simple idea grew to define me; it made me become an entrepreneur.
As I strived to gain freedom, overtime I realized that with everything that you do you can either (1) convince someone, somehow, to do it with you or (2) figure out how to do it yourself.
Due to a lack of financial resources (and probably the ability to convince people to do high quality work for free), I decided to learn. Then learn some more. Then some more. My path of learning website design started a long time ago. And yes, it was out of need not desire. I believed I needed a website for a company that I started. So I learned how to do it. The company died, my skills lived on... and got better and better.
It took me a while after learning web design (html/css) to actually start learning programming (web application, storing "data", user logins, etc). I tinkered with Wordpress, believing it could be a "user" site, but I was mistaken. Sure there are/were hacks for that, but they were hacks/work-arounds and simply not-what-wordpress-was-indended-to-be. Wordpress is for blogs/content. Plain and simple.

The repetitive reinforcement that builds on previous concepts, coupled with the bit sized presentation is excellent. The naming of the lectures for future reference and study make the organization of the course helpful for future concept reinforcement.

Covers a lot of breadth, not so much depth. But that's not good/bad, just course design. What's bad is that each video does not begin with objectives to be achieved. And all the code is written on the fly, with typos,etc. And many times the instructor figures out some hack/syntax that somehow just gets the job done, and this is very distracting and does not inspire confidence. Ofcourse, you need to do a lot of reading on your own about libraries, etc. as with any other course.

A good course for beginners who are just starting out with Python. While at times it can be difficult to follow through, the course still manages to teach the fundamentals. The lectures can be viewed as many times as you want and you can rewind easily if you are having trouble understanding the concepts. The course provides students freedom to learn at their own comfortable pace.

This is the best python course for beginners who are eager to learn and start their coding with python. Every topic in this course was explained carefully with detailed documentations. Thank you so much Justin Mitchel sir for this amazing course!!
By Ángel Paredes Parrilla on 7/23/2019
This is a good course for users that have experience programming and want to recover all the basics concepts using python. Up to command line programmes, course was magnificent, I really enjoy learning how to develop my own application, but then, things get weird and, from my point of view, a bit useless. But, in the end, I enjoy it and learn a lot from it!

It is a great course. Justing has a great voice and tone for courses. I enjoy it. The only downside that I found is that most things are outdated, and/or there were problems with the code [even when I did copy pasted] that gave me different results. I'm not sure, but I believe it is because of different versions. Also for all the Yelp/chrisBurkard chapters, their code has been changed, therefore, I was not able to follow with the course

Great course, If you are looking into getting on to learning python then this is for you, The tutor is engaging and right on point explanations. Useful for starters and those who already know a bit about the same. Good choice any how. Give it a try.

Harika ! Derslerin temel seviyeden başlaması Python yazılım dilinin yapısını ve davranış özelliklerini anlamada büyük yarar sağlıyor. En temel girişten ileri seviyeye doğru akıcı ve açık bir şekilde dersler anlatılmış. Gerçek dünyaya uygun uygulanabilir örneklerle tavsiye ettiğim bir ders programı !

Really liked the content, have so much better understanding about Python and what can be done with Python now. Justin is a good teacher, a little fast talker but can understand when paused and coded alone. Would recommend the course for beginners. Note to beginners: Do not get overwhelmed follow the course and code along and be consistent for the 30 days.

I enjoy the pacing, the things I learn, and the course overall! Great language and great tutor up until now. However, the last lectures cannot be done by some users because: Yelp is not available for some European countries (like Romania), Twilio cannot offer sms&mms possibilities for some generated numbers, and some frameworks are hard to install in Windows (and beyond the scope of the course).
Installation description is outdated. URLs incorrect, video description rushes and skips a step. Setting up virtual environment was unsuccessful in my case. strings description was good.
He seems to know what he is talking about and I am not exactly new to Python. I am coming from C++. I have fooled around with Python for a few years, but have not become increasingly interested in it until recently. Justin gives proper attention to detail, and lots of examples in an easy to follow manner. He facilitates a proper mind shift for someone with a more structured sense of programming like myself.
