About the Course

This course introduces the basics of Python 3, including conditional execution and iteration as control structures, and strings and lists as data structures. You'll program an on-screen Turtle to draw pretty pictures. You'll also learn to draw reference diagrams as a way to reason about program executions, which will help to build up your debugging skills. The course has no prerequisites. It will cover Chapters 1-9 of the textbook "Fundamentals of Python Programming," which is the accompanying text (optional and free) for this course. The course is for you if you're a newcomer to Python programming, if you need a refresher on Python basics, or if you may have had some exposure to Python programming but want a more in-depth exposition and vocabulary for describing and reasoning about programs. This is the first of five courses in the Python 3 Programming Specialization....

The exercises are the most thorough and challenging that I have seen on Coursera. CodeLens (the visualizer/debugger) is extremely useful to have online.

Guides you through step by step, and really enjoyed the test questions which do require a fair bit of thought, and allows you to apply what you learnt

The course gave me a strong foundation, and was a good follow-up to the Python for Everybody course. I particularly enjoyed Prof. Resnick's dad jokes.
