I did not take any programming classes before I took this one. Everything about this series of courses is fantastic. If you have no prior experience in Python or coding in general you can still do great on this course. Highly recommend.
- Jieyi L, September 2023
Thanks again for that journey. I can highly recoment this course for all courious people who want to start a amazing journey! 4 Months ago I had just a litte knowledge about Python. With this course my learn curve just went up like a rocket. So right now, i already was able to programm my own script to extract data from several excel files and transform them. Including getting data from websites.
