Awesome course, understandable from the beginner and able to guide you step-by-step into using python for real stuff, not just for academic knowledge.

The course was very well made. All concepts were explained very clearly and I really appreciate lot of examples and interactive elements. The pace of the course was slower which is ideal for beginners. I recommend to everyone who wants to get started in programming.
