A well-designed course, especially for the beginners, who are really enthusiastic and passionate about programming. It really helps you to learn from scratch and it does not require any prerequisites.

Great for beginners. Helps to know anything about programming, even in a different language because some concepts can be confusing the first time you see them. Overall, very useful and will continue the series.

This has been the best course I have undertaken and enjoyed. Many thanks to my esteemed Professor Severance who made the concepts quite easy to understand and follow.

I might give Slytherin a chance after this:)

I enjoyed this course so much! The instructor is amazing & makes the language easy to understand. Charles Severance (a.k.a. Dr. Chuck) makes you feel very motivated. There are some references to Harry Potter 😂
