Trust me..of all the python tutorials for beginners i found on internet, this content is super awesome!
No where i got to learn so much without getting bored!

[AlvinandTheBand]

Even though I am good at python, I watch your videos, because I get to know something new every time. F string was really awesome

[EvuLYT]

This is a gold mine. Clear, concise, and no fluff. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

[Trippykiyay]

This is still one of the best python tutorials ever made. I have watched your stuff as a noob and here i am back years later. I recommend this series to anyone i know who wants to learn python.

Guys, don't underestimate Corey's video title, at first I thought I can skip the beginner tutorial, but after watching this tutorial, I got a lot of new insights. Thanks Corey! Really appreciate your effort..

[marshwetland]

Corey, your teaching is outstanding. I know a bit of python and have been frustrated at slow progress because I have never had a good introduction that shows the main points of a topic. You cover about 4x as much as others do in the same time or topic. You vary things in a way that is illustrative, and you don't dawdle or repeat yourself excessively. Your videos are helping me meet my goal of a solid grounding so I can work more productively rather than stewing in frustration looking for options all the time. I was a teacher myself, if that counts for anything in my opinion of you as a teacher.

I have downloaded a lot of tutorials from internet and almost all of them are confusing. This is literally the best and easiest to understand series for python beginners. Thumbs up @Corey Schafer for this and thank you for putting your time developing this :)

[mansideolalikar]

Most Comprehensive and thoroughly explained Python series on youtube!!! Thank you so much!!

[monagulapa]

You should be given an award because you are helping so many learners for free. I am so grateful.

I graduated in 2020, landed up into a non-tech call center type job because I never had knowledge of coding in any language. I quit my job, learning Python through your videos. I want to learn about its utility and application in the field of Data Science. It really attracts me a lot. So influenced by your tutorial video that I recommend it to each and every junior in my college. Your videos are engaging and I never get bored watching them.
Lots of love, growth and blessings to you from India

[amioutofthespotlightbyelin]

Ended up here because my professors weren't explaining things as thoroughly as I would have liked. Thank you, this video really helped me!

[nataliezavada]

I really appreciate your teaching style. I am new to programming (and I am currently self taught) and I found your videos to be the most helpful. You teach in a way that I understand and it seems like you are much more methodical, in-depth and yet easier to understand all at the same time! Amazing!! I will be watching all of your videos

[kairosklean]

I'm completely new to programming and l have review a lot of online python tutorials. Corey are the best teacher so far. Thanks.

[dennylekstrom]

Saw one video and instantly subscribed. Straight into what you actually need to know without getting caught up with unnecessary elitist self-patting-on-the-back mumbojumbo, without skipping fundementals for that matter. Very accessible for someone just getting into programming like myself. Feeling more confident after watching this one video compared to all the other stuff I've been going through. Huge props and thank you!

Got me on the string quotation rule example "booby's world" (2:27), the internet ruined me so bad. Can't stop myself from laughing till the end, thinking about it making this video tutorial stuck on my mind forever which in turn helped a lot on my Python learning journey 🤣

[jasoncherry]

I’m a newbie to Python programming, so far I have found the videos lectures clear and easy to understand. I’ve watched several different individuals give lectures on python programming and I thought they were a bit confusing and convoluted. Your lectures are clear and easy to follow, not to mention very informative. Thank you

[NAHOMAYELEGIRMA]

I found out this you tube channel when I asked chatgpt "What is the best you tube channel for learning python " and it recommended me this channel, and I think it is a very good channel for person who don't know anything about python

[greggersgreggers]

Thanks for the Python videos! I’ve read dozens of programming books, read tons of code examples on the web, read various docs, watched a bunch of videos, and your video tutorials are top of the tree for me. You keep it simple, give good insights into why and how things work, show good examples that illustrate the key points well, present nicely and cleanly, and you anticipate a lot of questions and answer them later in the same video. I hope a lot of kids get to see these videos, which are a perfect springboard into using this amazing language. After dabbling in about 20 different languages, I love Python above all others and want to keep learning and keep coding! Cheers!
