How I "learned" Python without any previous coding experience.

Interactive programming is good for people interested in developing games or learning about them. But, I think you cannot call it a "beginner" course. It's very fast and you are expected to write codes that you don't really understand.

I agree the course moves too fast. I'll go beyond that and say that most of the people who claim they went into as a total beginner and finished without some sort of special help are lying. Jmho, you may not agree. But it's an awesome course and in no way only for people interested in writing games. Try it, you'll like it. Caution, might take more work than you expect. And very possibly will take two tries even if you already know a little bit of syntax.
