This is a solid course. Being an experienced programmer I still watched the entire lecture. It's a strong base to start from.

These courses released for free by MIT OCW have been invaluable to me. Thanks again. The content is nothing short of gold.

From Africa thanks a lot. There's no way we might have such a qualitative (and it's free, may God bless you) content from our universities out here. This might make a big difference ❤

Computer science student from Africa taking this course is really helpful.

Nice to see Dr. Bell is back! I saw an earlier version of this course like 8 years ago and it was very good!

I'm retired from a long career as a programmer and programming teacher. Learned and used a lot of languages along the way, but never happened to do Python. Enjoying this series to see what I might have been missing and how Python differs from what I already know.

I liked the older version of this class, its great it has been updated! It helped me a bit in my own intro to programming class, so definitely appreciated.

Already working as a SWE but coming back is really good for brushing up and sharpening your skills.

Awesome, was looking for something just like this for brushing up knowledge before I begin my masters

I love her lectures, I remember watching her teach OOP in Python like 5years ago for the time while learning and still on the journey. She actually set the foundation rolling..

Finally they update this course. ❤❤❤

High School freshman here interested in a cs career, and this course so far seems amazing, fast paced but very helpful. Thank you very much for this free course.

Naming your kid Ana with a last name of Bell ensures that kid having to clarify her name for the rest of her life.

Happy to watch this. As a Filipino, I can easily understand what you are saying.. Thank you!

Quick skim through, definitely looks like a good refresher for an introductory course.

Your communication skills are 2000% awesome! i love this!

Thank you, MIT OCW, for democratizing education and empowering learners worldwide.

Thank you MIT OCW for doing these classes! I love how Dr. Bell explains things so that even an absolute newcomer like myself can understand it! I'm forever grateful! 🙏🏾
