The platform returns errors. This is frustrating. Exammple, below results in a failure: name = input() age = int(input()) print(f"Hello, {name}") print(f"You have lived for {age * 12} months")

By Mamadou Dansoko on 1/4/2026

Bonjour, Lorsque je commençais ce cours, j'étais novice en python, ce cours m'a permis de comprendre les bases de python, les concepts et certaines choses qui diffèrent python des autres langage de développement. Enfin de compte je me suis rendu compte que python est basé sur des concepts simples et est très facile d'apprentissage. Aujourd'hui avec le niveau et les projets que je compte développer en python me permettront de progresser. Merci, je fu un plaisir de suivre ce cours et à bientôt.

The course was really nice in general, but I must confess that I was a tiny little bit disappointed with the Algorithms and Data Structures section because it sounds like you'll see a lot of different stuff, but it's just binary trees (which is really useful though). Regardless of that, I wouldn't condemn the entire course just because the name of a sections sounds exaggerated, I did learn a lot with it.

By Marcin Lichwa on 10/15/2022

Outstanding work, the choice of topics, the flow, the community (I strongly recommend going through Q&A section on each lesson) it's a beginner's "must have". And yeah, I would love to see an ultimate mighty overkill masterclass on Python 3.11. From all the Udemy's courses I went through, it's a top tier (have to mention Tim Buchalka here, he's a top man as well, maybe some co-op?) Anyway, well done.

By Philip Nelson on 3/10/2022

My First Python Course, Good General Course, but there could have been more coding exercises later on in the course, it started with quiz's and exercises, but there were far less around the 60% mark. The course is a good introduction on Python and now I know what other more detailed Python courses I must take such as GNU, Flask, Django and API...4 Rating stars as I knew nothing before, I can definitely add python to my limited html Dreamweaver knowledge and produce something with APIs and Flask already.

By Logan Murray on 12/20/2020

Not that far into it to be giving a review, but it seems like a good way to learn beginner Python so far.

By Andrew Bourgeois on 12/20/2020

So far, the course is mostly easy to follow along except for some concept explanations I had to seek an outside source for clarity.

By Akife Dar on 12/20/2020

Hi,
I find some of it easy to understand so far.
thanks
Akife

By Noah Wieselblad on 12/20/2020

I think that it is really good since it teaches you why everything is and it just feels like i really understand why everything is.

By Ravi Bala on 12/20/2020

and or logic operators and the way the boolean expressions return value could be explained better.

Downloading from a smartphone or iPad is a pain. Should still have access on laptop or pc.
