    This is course is one of the best and newest courses for beginners in python. I started learning to programme with this course and I like the quizzes after each section which helps me understand the topic better and use it myself. The final project web crawling was so helpful as well, as it made me go through to the most of the subjects I learned through the course and even learn a little bit of HTML. I just have to note that this course doesn't teach you about classes and to learn about classes, the Programming foundations with python is a good course.

    The course is not probaby well suited for absolute beginners at programming, but if one has already experience, this is the perfect trade-off between conciseness and completeness when starting Python.
