Great introductory course to Python! Interesting and engaging! Goes highly recommended! Hope it's to be continued.

By Bashar Ameen

The videos were short and simple to understand.

By Elijah Post

So far, the lecture has been all text with the presenter reading the text on the slide and then digressing with offhand knowledge of other software concepts. The material doesn't feel accessible and the presenter assumes a level of technical literacy that newcomers cannot be expected to have.
