very helpful. everybody who wanna learn basic programming should do this course.

By Brieuc A on 21-Jun-19

Very clear, easy to understand, and taught with a lot of good humour. A warning, however: if you are serious about programming and want to learn a lot in a short time span, this course will be much too light and superficial for you.
