Today, I am 13 years old. This is one step forward to what will be my future job when I'm older. I'm so happy to choose Python as my first language!

[DarrenValen]

Hey, thanks for this. I'm 56 years old and have an I.T. consulting business. I've studied and created some relational databases using MS Access that are still in use today, but I started when I was like 12 writing in BASIC and some machine coding on a Z80 processor. Anyway I recently got itch to keep learning and landed on Python because is pretty general and popular. I floated a few different videos before I found yours and am so deeply grateful for the fine instruction. Keep up the good work and I wish you the best in life. Thanks a million!

[sachinbhujel]

I'm an intermediate at programming and watched MANY videos. This one is BY FAR the best explained and easy to follow for a TRUE beginner.

[hukushmolambi]

Just began with Python and I'm loving the experience. The syntax is so clear, perfect for someone with little experience like me. Furthermore, the applicability of Python in a multitude of sectors is truly impressive.

[doquocviet]

The timing of this video couldn't be better as I was looking on youtube and all over the internet for a comprehensive and beginner-friendly Python course. I can't thank you enough.

[PrincessAllie]

I found the first 43 minutes of this to be an INCREDIBLE refresher course on everything I learned at the beginning of the summer and feared I'd forgotten after taking way too much time off. I'm excited to jump back in with the confidence of knowing I don't have to restart at print("Hello World!").

To any beginners who think the first part goes way too fast: hang in there! You don't have to understand everything that's happening. Just type along with him and you'll have something cool in less than an hour.

That sense of accomplishment at having completed something is what's needed to drive beginners to keep wanting to learn more complex things. You don't get that by just memorizing the definitions of function and variable. Thanks for all your work on this, Beau!!!

[XDXD-omrc]

Thank you very much for this free course! I started like three days ago and I become more and more excited as the video goes along, even though at the beginning I thought it would be hard to understand anything! I really appreciate it and good luck on your future projects!🙏🙏🙏

[sachinbhujel]

This course is equivalent to a semester of a class in undergrad school. This is so beautifully and clearly explained. Thank you very much for such an amazing course, that too available for free!

[bintiaisiah]

it is sooo refreshing that you present this video with natural background, a contradiction towards common stagnation place when people code

[unyuzimfuraishimwejoykevin]

I learned the whole Javascript I know from this man, I'm now an experienced Javascript developer(Vanilla, Nodejs, Reactjs) because of you; I look forward to becoming an expert in Python language and its frameworks, Appreciate 😇😇

[Motivocative]

I love how beau always makes you actually do the coding. Its the only way to learn.

[priskasama]

Saving this to my coding playlist I really can’t wait! Just starting “coding” and didn’t know I would be willing to watch 4 hours of technical stuffs and be completely happy about it.

[vish]

This is an amazing refresher. Im between the beginner and intermediate stages right now and everything from Functions and Objects sections is a gold mine

[janmsavage]

Beau seems like that person who has been to the Skyrim of programming--has been awestruck by it, and has now come back to facilitate the offering of various programming courses. :)

[NeomiLesiak-hjpx]

Thank you for making Python so approachable! 🙌👍 It's always a joy to learn new programming languages and your tutorial made it easy! 😊👨‍💻

[wheelhouse]

I gotta say, i'm new to Python and this is extremely useful. I do find it a tad convoluted however it did give me much insight into how classes and objects come together in a code. Thank you much sir.

[shravanichitineni]

Perfect timing!!! I was just thinking to start looking into learning Python. I’m a biostatistics masters student and mostly program in SAS and R, but I thought learning Python would be to my benefit.

[michanowaczewski]

This is my firts coding class (mayby second) and I truly enjoy the content! Great peace and so entertaining :)

[lasodabhai]

Sir after this course you should also make two more courses, name
1: Python Programming Course for intermediate level.
2: Python Programming Course for Advance Level.
