You’ll dive deep into the Python ecosystem and learn popular modules, libraries and tools for Python. You’ll also get hands-on with objects, classes and methods in Python, and utilize variables, data types, control flow and loops, functions and data structures. You’ll learn how to recognize and handle errors and you’ll write unit tests for your Python code and practice test-driven development. By the end of this course, you will be able to: • Prepare your computer system for Python programming • Show understanding of Python syntax and how to control the flow of code • Demonstrate knowledge of how to handle errors and exceptions • Explain object-oriented programming and the major concepts associated with it • Explain the importance of testing in Python, and when to apply particular methods This is a beginner course for learners who would like to prepare themselves for a career in back-end development or database engineering.

Great Course. It included information about all aspects of Python programming from Basic syntax to Exception & File handling, OOPS concepts, Various modules & packages, and Software testing.

Excellent course. A true beginner might feel that the course is fast-paced. You can use Google and Youtube to get more explanations, exercises, and lessons.This is what I did.Good luck everyone

I really don't understand how in a paid course there should be such a massive promotion of IBM Watson by offering coupons, and free trials, besides that there are also many video lessons dedicated to this. (this is the 7th IBM course I followed and I found this in almost all courses). Now the final project of this course is a sentiment analysis using Ibm Whtason?!. If the course was free, I could try to understand, but for a paid course it's unacceptable especially if we consider the quality of IBM courses

These videos cover the basics but they don't say what instances you would use the code in. The assignments asks for things that was not gone over in any of the videos (I have gone over the lectures three times). You learn to list all coffees with the letter C out of a list of coffees but in the assignment you are supposed to return a list with employee names and their jobs and there is example code I have never before seen. It is infuriating and all I've learned is that I have wasted a lot of time.

Very disorganized. Lots of gaps where you go from one lesson to the next, and the next one is discussing and taking for granted concepts that were never covered in previous lesson. The set up of Python and VSC are also very outdated and do not apply to current systems. Do not recommend - much better intro Python classes on Coursera available.

Thanks for putting together the course. Breadth of content was good and helpful. However, the content is not well structured, with overlaps, quizzes before content, insufficient explanation in some areas, non-ideal examples and technical inaccuracies. This should be reviewed, to be more accessible for newcomers to programming

Absolutely terrible course! Would not recommend to anyone! Much better courses out there, assignments aren't clear at all.. and the learning is just briefly mentioned with no actual explanations.
