About the Course

This course introduces the basics of Python 3, including conditional execution and iteration as control structures, and strings and lists as data structures. You'll program an on-screen Turtle to draw pretty pictures. You'll also learn to draw reference diagrams as a way to reason about program executions, which will help to build up your debugging skills. The course has no prerequisites. It will cover Chapters 1-9 of the textbook "Fundamentals of Python Programming," which is the accompanying text (optional and free) for this course. The course is for you if you're a newcomer to Python programming, if you need a refresher on Python basics, or if you may have had some exposure to Python programming but want a more in-depth exposition and vocabulary for describing and reasoning about programs. This is the first of five courses in the Python 3 Programming Specialization....

Курс для начинающего программиста на Python сложный и увлекательный. Для проверки своего кода использовал IDLE Python 3.9

Большое спасибо команде University of Michigan!

This was a really good course. I took it right after finishing the Python for Everyone Specialization and found the topics flowed right into what I had just learned.

The instructor takes the time to explain the learning materials so they are very clear. There are plenty assignments and quizzes to apply newly acquired knowledge.

quite clear and the professors address every detail that might confuse me. And as the name suggests, it is just the basic part of python, so it is not hard at all.

A very good introductory course in Python. I learnt a lot and the exercises and final assignment were challenging to me and a good moment to apply what i learned.

This is a perfect course for someone just starting with programming. But someone already familiar with another programming language would find it very slow-paced.

The assignments given to us are the best for beginners. It's even hard though but give some confidence to do more and more and push to reach further and further.
