Our take

Based on the ratings of 29,873 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in September 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a Python fundamentals course for people who want the language in some depth, not just a taste. It runs 16.6 hours over 358 lectures. It starts with setup and data types, then moves through functions, lambdas, object oriented programming, exceptions, files, regular expressions, threads and databases. Newer sections add Match Case syntax, NumPy and Pandas. The syllabus was last updated in September 2026, so it is current. The title says beginners, though one reviewer advises some prior programming experience to grasp it quickly.

Students are warm about Bharath Thippireddy's teaching. Reviewers call his lectures detailed and to the point, and one beginner from a non-IT background says it gave them the confidence to keep coding. A Java developer says it fits the AI project he is preparing for. The complaints are small. One reviewer wanted a clearer installation walkthrough, another asked for simpler explanations of technical terms, and a 3 star review wants a quicker, deeper pace. A 4 star reviewer felt the ending was hurried and missed PySpark basics.

With more than 278,000 students and about 29,900 ratings, it is a steady pick for a first pass through the whole language or for filling gaps. Only about 630 ratings are 1 or 2 stars. Practice comes from quizzes and assignments, with no in-platform coding exercises, so plan to write your own code alongside. Skip it if one narrow topic is the goal.

Best forNewcomers or developers from another language who want the whole of core Python in one steady course.
Skip it ifYou want hard coding exercises, a project-driven path or deep data science work.

Pros

  • Covers OOP, threads, regex, files and databases in 16.6 hours
  • Recently refreshed, with Match Case syntax, NumPy and Pandas added
  • 26 quizzes and 19 assignments let learners check what they absorbed
  • Reviewers call Bharath's lectures detailed and to the point

Cons

  • No coding exercises on the platform, so practice is quizzes and assignments
  • Some reviewers found the install steps unclear and a few terms too technical
  • Later sections feel hurried to some, and PySpark is not covered
Good, to the point course to give you quick overview of important concepts in Python programming. Though not mandatory but it is good to have some prior knowledge of any programming language to grasp the concepts quickly.

Sold as All Levels. Beginners manage, but one reviewer says some prior coding helps you grasp it faster.
