Extremely basic but Dr. Chuck is so interesting that you never get bored. You can pass the course in a few days with minimum or even no programming knowledge. It's a good starting point for beginners.

Dr. Chuck is highly endearing. The pace feels appropriate for beginners. If you were intimidated by CS50 this is a much more reasonable place to start.

Amazing professor and great path to learn Python. What may still make sense, it is to continuously update this program with the recent AI development.
