Do not waste your time. Buy a C++ book and learn. You will be mixing C and C++ in this course. Very bad preparation. Boring lectures- reading from a screen. No exercises. Quiz and programming questions are those not taught in course. Disappointed. -

This is not actually bad course but requires strong prerequisites
Strong doesn't mean complete but at least need to know C basics and also few algorithms. This is simply typical Indian course where we try to give indepth knowledge in a shot. Sure this is not for beginners . I have some knowledge on C,java and took me few days to figure out whats going on with graded programming assignments, hope this review will help you -

Poorly conceived, poor delivery. Bland lectures. No worked out examples. Mixes c and c++, confusing. Get a good book on c/c++ rather than this course. -

This course was a great experience. They start from scratch, and give an exact idea of how the computer works. However, this course is not for absolute beginners. The course goes a bit slow initially and speeds up towards the end. One may need to re-watch some videos to understand fully. But once understood, you will no longer be a beginner in coding. -

For now it's not worthy. It would be better if you wait for the third or fourth session. Too many things to improve... -

The course teaches programming languages in the functional paradigm using SML. The material is at a level you'd find in third year at a top-tier university computer science program, so in that way it is a bargain, but it also means you will need to invest serious time in order to complete it. You will likely need the full month and 8-16 weekly hours as advertised, this isn't one of those MOOCs where you finish a week's module in a day (especially if you've never done functional programming before). -
Shiva Shukla completed this course, spending 9 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be medium.
Course is very easy and it is useful everywhere . With the help of this certificate we can achieve our goal -
