Positive Feedback:

• I took the first course from the specialization and it turned out to be a great crash course. I am not a Python novice and that is why I had doubts about taking this course. But now that I have completed this course, I can say that it has taught me a lot of new things about python. Also, this is only a crash course so don’t expect to become an expert after this one course. (Anne L, ★★★★★)
• The first course was splendid and very informative but at the same time challenging as well. But overall this is one of the best python courses out there and it helped me understand a lot of concepts relevant to Python. I believe this is the type of course that is suitable for all the learners interested in Python. (Shathish M, ★★★★★)
