What Students Are Saying

I am new to Python and currently undertaking Jose's Python Bootcamp course. This course is incredibly interactive and I am so excited to have created my first few programs using the information and resources provided in this course. Jose's teaching method is enjoyable and easy to follow. Whether you're a beginner or advanced, I recommend this course as it explores the endless possibilities within Python and is comprehendible regardless of which operating system or IDE you choose to follow along with.

I had learnt Python 6 years ago. But never really used it since then. So I need to refresh my memory, starting from the beginning. I think this course is great for me, because I will need Python for my next job as SW test engineer.
