The examples are well-chosen -- demonstrating principles through engaging, colorful projects rather than by teaching abstract principles first. While I wish the instructor weren't quite so repetitiously exuberant, this is at worst a minor stylistic blemish and might even be a plus for kids viewing it.

I think it started good but got lost in midway, I think the tempo that started with concentrating on language constructs should have remained same way instead of shifting it to mathematically intense problems. But then, may be, curriculum here in southeast asia is different.

By Sudhir D on 11/1/2020

It is ok. I am not really learning anything.

By P Q on 11/1/2020

Awfully designed course. Kids can't even navigate the course contents; there are PDFs and programs that need to be downloaded and then opened. All the contents should be web based and coding should be in the browser.
The author and udemy have spent the least amount of efforts to simply copy things over from the not-so-useful book (which is also something I bought incidently) of the author into a course format.
After my child spent many weeks, I realized that the child hadn't understood a thing. Very disappointed.

By Lina Vera on 11/1/2020

I am 12 years old and my parents bought me this course for how much i love coding and it has been amazing so so much fun and i have enjoyed every bit i recommend this to anyone who wants to learn python. In the course everything is explained so clearly. :)

By Shon Das on 11/1/2020

it does not really teach me the code but it tells me what to do so im leaning from it but not very fast like it said in the introduction

By Yang on 10/27/2020

Easy to understand.

By SAMARTH GAGGAR on 10/23/2020

This Course is Amazing. I am able to understand the concepts very clearly. I would highly recommend! :)

By Vaishnavi Gupta on 10/20/2020

I learned a lot of things. It was really greatful learning how to code in python. Learning turtle graphics was a lot of fun. I really understood things better. I would recommend this course to other children who want to learn how to code.
