I do wish he had time to show us how the programming we practiced is applied in the real world, i.e. what it looks like from an end user perspective but I guess I'll just have to take another class!!

    Overall the course is good. If there is anything that stops me from giving 5 stars, it is that One young instructor sometimes needed to be more prepared before classes. As he spent time programming on-the-fly, time was wasted that could have been used to teach and train me better.

    Excellent school and facility, extremely interesting course, good small class size. Art is very thorough, helpful and able to break down content in a way it is easily digestible by those in attendance. My only feedback might be to conduct a webinar, e-learning or similar ahead of time to prep all learners and introduce them to the software used since there are differences between the operating systems (Mac, Windows, Linux) and their individual processes that need to be accounted for throughout the material. For example, on Linux/Mac you might install from the terminal whereas on Windows you're more likely to use a gui installer, accessing Python on Windows Command Prompt is different than using the terminal etc.

    Anonymous review on 1/27/2019
    Great class to get started with python. Pros - We covered a lot in only three lessons. (Taking your time to go over the notes and exercises afterwards is imperative if you want to learn). -Art and Tim were great teachers who were happy to answer any questions and are very knowledgable. -There was a snowstorm on the night of my second class, and I couldn't make it from work in time. Art let me move to the next cohort with no dramas at all. -Art is always available for questions, he got back to me within minutes whenever I asked him about something. Cons - This may not even be a con, but we jumped straight into the language and syntax. If you are a complete beginner to coding, you'll need to go over what a terminal is, what a shell is, and how enter things in the command line. I had dabbled a bit on Codecademy, but never really attempted to code for real and this was a bit disorienting at first. About 20 min of googling after the first class had me up to speed though. Overall a great class and would totally recommend if you want to start learning python.

    A good entry level class, a lot of material is covered and the potential of Python is clear. There were 2 professor, one much better than the other, both really nice guys and willing to give personal attention. The class could have been better structured and better paced. I liked that they do allow time for students to work on programs so a person can tell if they are getting it, this actually did not happen much in the third class and I could tell not many people were getting the material.

    Chalk full of information and very intense, it was a very knowledge-filled course. I would give it 4.5 out of 5 stars if I could, only because I think some of the teaching styles could be more digestible, with more intermittent exercises to make sure we're understanding and absorbing the lectures and maybe a little more structure. I will be going through the course material on my own again. Basically, each day could be a week's worth of information and it takes a lot of practice to actually know it all. I do think the course is valuable and worth the money, but you have to follow through with practicing on your own after each class and the entire session in order to get the full value.

    I enrolled in the Introduction to Python course after noticing how many jobs are needing Python experience recently. I already had programming experience and a Computer Science degree but wanted to take a course to make learning a bit easier and to force myself to do it. Art is a great instructor and used many clear examples during the course. My particular class only had 3 students including myself and the 2 others were not tech savvy. Art was very good at handling their questions and keeping the pace of the class moving though I would imagine if the class was larger it would be more difficult with many people who didn't know some technical basics especially since it's only a 3 session course. I walked away with a solid foundation in Python though and I've been learning on my own as well and going into more advanced features beyond what was taught in the course. It's a good springboard to start learning Python. Art also provided potential job interview questions and that same week I actually encountered one of them in a real interview so he was right on the mark. You will benefit the most if you do work on your own between the classes and make use of the resources provided to you for self study.

    Great class! We covered a lot of material in a short amount of time. The challenges were fun, and I enjoyed working on them as a team with other classmates. I think the class would be even better if, in the morning, we went over all the solutions to the exercises from the night before. Because even if I didn't get to work on them at home, I can still benefit to see how they are solved. Since I have JavaScript programming background, it was easier for me to understand the concepts even though Art went over them kind of fast. Some other students had a harder time, but assistant teacher, Tim, would explain the concepts in a different way which helped. The class description should probably be updated since we didn't cover these topics: • Python's datetime module • Regular expressions • Writing to a File • Appending to a File • Selection sort • Merge sort (this we went over only because we had extra time) Overall, I had a great experience and would recommend it to anyone who is starting to learn Python!

    I have found practical programming courses very helpful. Art has been a great instructor and super helpful outside of class as well. After taking his 4 week Intro to Python (weekends) course, I decided to take Blockchain 101, Python for Web Scraping and will be staring my next course using Python for Machine Learning in a few weeks. I would recommend taking these courses in order to get you started on coding. Whether you just want to learn coding for fun or also want to learn it for application purposes (work or personal), these have been a great starter for me. Looking forward to taking more intensive courses with practical programming in the future.
