If you're totally new to Python programming, this course will quickly get you up and running with Python. It shows you how to install a Python programming environment on your PC. And it also introduces you to all the basic components of Python. You will learn enough to start writing simple Python scripts, but you will still need to refer to Python documentation to write more complex scripts. I started out with zero knowledge of Python. (Note: I do know other programming languages like Java, JavaScript, C, etc.. Though this knowledge is not necessary to learn Python, knowing or having programming experience some other language will definitely help you because the absolute basic concepts -- like variables, functions, modules, arrays, to name a few -- are the same across most programming languages.) So, I started out with zero knowledge of Python. But I now know enough to be able to understand what Python code when I see it. Plus, with a little bit of a struggle (at least initially), I will be able to write my own scripts as well. So, the last word is yes, I liked this course and found it helpful.
