Why take this course?
We respond to your questions in under 8 hours on average
What's the most important aspect of an online course? Engaging students with the material and responding to their questions, when they need help. We might not be the largest course on Udemy, as we are a relatively new course, but we shine in replying to your questions quickly. We aim to respond to your questions in under 8 hours (on average) and guaranteed in under 48 hours! We understand that responding to students' questions on-time is critical for a great learning experience.
Learning programming and learning to think like a programmer are two different things. Anyone can learn programming, but if you don't learn how to think like a programmer, you will never be able to become an independent programmer. The aim of this course is to teach you how to think like one!
With:
100+ lectures,
20 programming exercises,
20+ quizzes,
and other materials (including a daily coding challenge)
this is a comprehensive Python course to teach you how to think like a programmer.
If you are an absolute beginner with no prior programming experience, in this course, I aim to teach you how to think like an independent programmer. By the end of this course, I guarantee you that you will be able to think like a programmer and write real code to solve real problems. Many courses teach people the language, but they don't teach them how to think like a programmer. My objective in this course is to teach you how to think like an INDEPENDENT programmer.
The course comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, take your money back if you are not satisfied. The best part is that you will get lifetime access to all the materials (videos, code, exercises, and quizzes). You can come back whenever you want.

Good course but huge problem with screen readability. Most of the screen on programming video instruction is wasted space and the important text is tiny. Annoying that the instructor's desktop is easier to see than the code. Also more time before each lesson needs to go to ensuring students can correctly open the same file and version of python.

The quality of this course is incredible, very solid from basics 'till the OPP.
Thank you professor Rafael!!

Great content and exercises for us to put theory to practice. However, I (personally) found some of the videos a bit too long and started to lose concentration in some videos.

It was an amazing course. It is well designed and the lecturer himself is great at answering the questions on time just in case you come across a problem. Highly recommended for a beginner.

It was a very good course for me as I didn't Python but I had some experience. The teacher didn't just gave the solution away but also challanged us to find a solution, which was a very good experience.

Looks like it is a good match for me. Very basic level for a beginner like me. Everything is beginning to click as we move forward with the classes and i loved all of the exercises; it made me think of new ways of solving problems!

I started off this course not knowing a single thing about python or programming. I can say that Rafael has been an excellent teacher, making step by step instruction and processes for me to fully memorize key points in my learning.

I've taken a couple of Python online courses but none were able to keep my interest as this course. What makes this course different is that Rafael takes the time to explain things in an enjoyable way plus the quizes and mini projects make me recall and apply most of the concepts that have been explained, and in this way I really take notice on what skills I gained and what I have to review.

It has been a wonderful experience learning Python from you. It is 10 times better than learning Python from books without knowing which way I should go.

The course is very well implemented. It is very easy for me to learn and a pleasure at the same time. I'm looking forward to continuing. Well done !
