Enhance your Python skills by solving real-world problems. Engage in hands-on coding projects and gain practical experience in programming.
This course is all about boosting your Python skills by tackling real-life problems. You'll write a ton of code, learn how to think like a programmer, and end up with projects to showcase in your portfolio. It's fun and super engaging!
A great course enhancing your Python programming skills by solving real world problems! Learn by making great things!
What is this course about?
Feel the real power of Python and programming! The course offers you a unique approach of learning how to code by solving real world problems. Throughout the course we will be understanding how to identify and formulate the problems, what is the key to a great app, we will learn how to efficiently adopt the problem for the computer and the most important that you will be writing a lot of code! The course is structured in a way that lectures are like labs where we study the material, do the quizzes, write programs and test them! The most important that you will be involved into work a lot in order to get the best experience!
Technical background
You will understand how Python can be used to solve problems from different fields, including mathematics, cryptography, guess-n-check algorithms and more! You don't need to be familiar with concepts we will be solving, however the basic understanding of programming is needed, only the basics, like variables, if statements, loops and functions.

I believe that self-education and development are the only things which matter in order to achieve a concrete goal. Having received a Bachelor of Engineering in IT and having gained invaluable experience working for giant tech companies like Microsoft and small startups, I can be sure that experience and practice are the most important components in learning new things.

A good little course, with nice examples.
Could include derivation of quadratic formula, this should come before introduction of discriminant.
The cryptography project is very good. Could use a function to subsume both en/decrypt uses, as they are inverses.
Displaying the use and utilities of Python!
The course concept is very interesting, but there is a bit too much hand holding for an intermediate course. Also cannot finish the course because the Quizzes don't register completion. Hopefully it will push my skills a little more when the course is finished.

Overall, programming concepts are good. Delivery was concise. Aside from the assumption that anyone taking the course should be familiar with Python (and minimally at that), I would consider this a beginner course instead of intermediate. It's essentially three lessons taken out of a beginning programming class at any university. As with many programming courses, the fact that Python is the language in use doesn't really matter and the concepts taught herein aren't language specific, so if you're new to programming and reading this, the course material easily translates to just about any other language.
A couple things were a bit out of place for me though: The exclusive use of infinite while loops and using break statements to exit them, which is generally bad practice. Also, the verbal logic of the user prompts in the guessing game program in lecture 14 are actually backwards from the search implementation, which is a little confusing since it then does the opposite of what the user inputs.
