As a person who has already been through a different Python course I can say I enjoyed this one. It was a nice refresher of some of the concepts I've encountered before. In particular I appreciate the gradual explanation of how classes work as in the past I've struggled to grasp that concept. I also believe this course sets the standard for the ratio of practical tasks to lectures a course like this should have. Two thumbs up for that! The only reason this does not get 5 stars is due to quite lenghty sections on virtual environments and PyCharm. While I do understand why they're included it's not something I felt brought too much value to the whole bootcamp. Thank You Giles!

Sorry for such a bad rating but the course deserves just only these This course is just made for those who know Python and is just a quick recap Most of the topics covered didn't cover the basic topic understanding of the concept just move ahead Many practice solutions are soo bad like clueless about what is asked and what Instructor provides a solution (also for 2-3 line solutions almost 7-8 lines solutions are provided) The pace of this Course is incredibly high which disappoints me the most The instructor keeps on introducing soo many concepts in one single lecture and this continues till mid or maybe the end of the course

This seems to have been repurposed from another platform and it jumps from topic to topic within the same section, not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing but I guess I would have liked some more coherence. Also the files are horribly scattered into different directories which makes doing the examples cumbersom. Other than that this coevers a great variety of topics of which I found very useful. I also really enjoyed that pycharm is covered and some linux which is explained much better than other courses I have taken.

Great course. Giles is a good teacher, explains things very well and in an interesting way - I'd been watching his YT series for some time before I took this course. My only gripe is some disconnect between the level of the course and the difficulty of the exams. Be prepared! That said would be happy to take another course from Giles again.

This is a very thorough and in depth journey into python. Giles is a master in delivering this python boot camp. I have really learned a lot here and if you want to learn python this is the course for you. I really enjoyed learning python with Giles. He has a vast knowledge of this topic and he delivers it with great passion. Thanks.
