I loved it! Dr. Chuck is extraordinary in his explanations. A great way to start on Python programming. As a person that hasn't programmed in years it was an encouraging and educational experience :-)

Great introduction to Python and programming as a whole. Everything is broken down making it easy to understand. Had zero programming experience before and this class made it easy and fun to get into.

Before starting this course, I'm not sure whether I'm able to complete it or not but now I'm surprised as well as feeling accomplished.

And all the credits goes to the instructor. The experience from this class is cannot be expressed in words it's beyond that.

One of the finest courses I ever have done loved watching Dr. Chuck. This course starts with the basics of programming in python, with very well explained each and everything.

I will highly recommend this course to the one who is starting his/her programming.

Really well done, it was the first online registered course I followed and it exceeded my expectations. Ok I'm not really a beginner in coding but I wanted to restart from the basic because I never used Python. Simple direct and concise what I was looking for.

For anyone with no programming background and want to learn Python, this is a course just for you. Professor Chuck explains the concepts is such fluid manner that there will be no difficulty in comprehension.

Great course to begin your language-learning journey

Great introductory course in python. I had previously done some python but I wanted a solid foundation in the language before moving on to more data science specific courses using python and this Specialization is just what I was looking for. Onto course #2!

Anyone who wishes to start learning Python, look no further. The instructor is not monotonously boring, the videos are divided into small understandable chunks, and is perfect for people in hurry. This was by far the best experience I had in terms of learning.

This course help me to look python on different perspective. Dr. Chuck has good explanation about the course. If you want to get more from this course, you must start to take another exercise/case about python programming and he will tell you about the source.

Charles' enthusiasm really helps make the subject matter more interesting. The assignments begin easy and get more challenging towards the end which is great, it tests what you have learned throughout the course. Overall, it was a great introduction to Python.

excelente para iniciantes! uma linguagem clara e simples. É o inglês da linguagem de computação, todo mundo deveria saber! uma atualização e tanto para mim aos 61 anos de idade! Espero utilizar python na minha carreira de análise de dados em sistemas de saúde!

Great course for those who know zero programming, or for those (like me) that have not programmed in a while. The professor really goes out of his way to explain concepts and gives context on the history of programming and why things are done the way they are.

It was good and clear! If you are going to take it, I strongly recommend to dedicate time to it and also read the extra materials as much as you can, since it helps to a better understanding. The only thing is that I wish there were more exercises to practice.

A good introductory course for absolute beginners. Students having prior programming experience in any other language will find the contents to be too basic. The syntax will be the only new thing that experienced programmers will get to learn from this course.

Professor Charles is a great professor and he knows his stuff and very enthusiastic and humorous sometimes. Thanks to this class there were new paths for me to journey on, coding is fun. I included in my resume and that was a plus for my current job. Thank you

My sincere gratitude to Mr Charles Severance, he has been such a captivating teacher that I could not resist myself completing the course in a couple of days, more than a month before the schedule. You made learning to code a fun packed activity. A BIG THANKS!

It's a good course for everybody who have interest in Python, you don't need to be familiar with any programming language, even a primary school graduate can easily follow the course. I believe this course is truly practicing the original purpose of coursera.

Good, I use to program when I was in high school. I feel like doing it again (now I'm about to graduate from a business school), so I take this course. The materials are not so hard to catch up and I enjoy learning new program. (I use to do basic C++ and Java)

The Professor is the real gem in this course. It is rare to find people who explain a topic in such an interesting way and keep you motivated to continue every day. It is a basic course, so it could be too easy if you already have any programming experience.

This is a fantastic course for someone who wants to get their basics right and very interestingly put together. For someone who very new to programming perfect start. For someone who knows programming a quick intro to python you can finish it in a weeks time.

Terrific experience! I learned a lot, very interesting course, reading book and complementing with videos make every concept very clear. I would suggest, for every excercise, upload video to explain solution. It is currently available but not for all of them.

Very nice course! I am an 11-year-old using Coursera for the first time and my experience was great. The overall course material was very rich and the instructor was very detailed and provided very good descriptions which made me fully understand the content!
