This course exceeded my expectations! As someone with no prior programming experience, I was worried it might be too advanced, but Michael explains everything so clearly. The projects are challenging but doable, and I've already built several useful applications. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn Python!

I'm a software engineer looking to add Python to my skill set, and this course was perfect for that. The advanced sections on OOP and data analysis were particularly valuable. My only suggestion would be to add more content on testing and deployment. Overall, excellent course that helped me transition to a Python role at work.

The best programming course I've taken online. Michael's teaching style is engaging and he breaks down complex concepts into manageable chunks. The course projects are practical and relevant to real-world applications. I especially appreciated the section on data analysis with pandas, which I'm now using daily in my work as a data analyst.
