The best way start learning how to code in python
It is fundamental to software development to be able to step through your code, line by line, set breakpoints, and easily examine variables and values as they change. And I believe this would make it MUCH more clear to new software students exactly what a CPU is doing when processing code.I know the video course tried very hard to “sketch” out what is really going on in While loops, For loops, If-then-else statements, and function calls. However, I think that students, especially students new to software overall, would benefit greatly if they could use a more professional tool than the Atom and IDLE tools. And if that’s not possible, I think the videos should show the actual animation of stepping through line-by-line and setting breakpoints in example software, using such a tool.
Just exceptional, I would highly recommend to take this course.
amazing
good explanation and exercises
good
best python course
I feel like I could have learned just as much or more by going to Stack Overflow. This class feels like promotional material for the professor rather than learning how to code. Please be advised that there is a "fun" theme of making students figure out stuff on their own during the quizzes when a vital component hasn't been discussed in class. I ended up quitting after the second course in the certification because if I'm going to struggle, I'm going to do it for free.
good methodology
The course is well explained and learning is easy, Charles is an excellent instructor.
