Excellent experience

I did not have any background in coding, c++ or python. I have heard a lot about it but did not know where to start as they have a vast amount of courses out there and it really hard to know which are useful / fundamentals to learn. It was great to go through the courses here, as in many examples in this course showed how c++ and Python can be used in terms of financial application. I don't regret taking these two courses and will definitely come back to refresh my knowledge about the topics...

Learn Python with Data Science

My friends suggested this course to me. I looked over it and decided to take it because I wanted to learn Python with Data Science. That is exact course I wanted.

The best programming class i have taken in a long time!

It's simple, the class was the best programming class i have taken in a long time. The structure it follows is very similar to the C++ one, so having that background certainly helps the student understand the concepts better, but definitely not necessary. The development of the topics goes really quick, so one needs to be super engaged throughout the course, and be committed to the end for sure, it's quite challenging but yet rewarding at the same time. I 100% would recommend this to anybody...

Excited to take the Python course after finishing the C++ course.

I finished the C++ course in the summer of 2023. I think this kind of course is interesting, so I’m really excited to take the Python course.
