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.

An effective course of python programming for the beginners who have just started programming. It's a great initiative by the coursera community to facilitate and help the students with the online courses to seek some great skills and knowledge.

Great course for beginners. I studied all programming fundamentals in school and was just trying to learn Python. I found that this course is very good for anyone that is trying to learn fundaments of programming even you have no prior knowledge.

Videos are clear and all the assignments are very useful to actually understand and output all the things I learned.

Even though I am very new to programming, he starts from very basic and goes slowly which made me more motivated about the course.

I have never properly learnt a computer programming language. Had always a feeling of falling behind for not knowing any programming language. This course gave me the confidence to understand the basic way of doing and thinking about programming.

I hadn't done any programming in about 10 years so this course was a great refresher to basic concepts. It also taught me the basic syntax of Python (which is new to me). It is very well taught and gives you a good little starting-out foundation.

I would've never thought I'd understand what I understand after only a few weeks of watching videos! Really impressed with how engaging the professor is and how they've structured this first course. Praying I feel as motivated in those to come =)

This is a very good course for Python. I learn a lot, including how to install Python, how to write simple code on Python. The professor is pretty good at teaching, explaining the knowledge very clearly. I appreciate this course and thanks a lot.

It is one of the best courses available on any MOOC. It is for absolute beginners and people knowing any prog language might feel like skipping ahead in some of the videos. But nonetheless, it is a great course and Dr.Chuck is a great teacher !

This is a beginner friendly, computer science 101 course. Professor Chuck explains the concept and mindsets behind the programming language extremely well. I learned how to code, and, more importantly, how to think like a computer when executing.

It was a great learning from this course. Instructer Mr. Charles Russel Severance made the course easy by boosting my confidence in each session. Interviews with different developers and especially with Mr. Guido van Rossum was most interesting.

Dr. Chuck is a fantastic teacher. As he describes - It might not make sense in the beginning but as you keep learning it will all fall into place.

Keep at it folks. Revisit the lessons if your stuck and spend time until you crack the questions.

Dr. Chuck, your instruction is fun, clear, and empathetic to where the learner is coming from and where the learner might struggle. Your passion for access to quality education motivates me in my own work in education. Thank you for this course.

Slow enough pace for someone who is new to Python but has some programming experience. This is my first time using Coursera, and I love it. It also helps that you could speed up the videos. Great instructor, and I look forward to more like this.

Great course, i really enjoyed it and can recommend this to almost everyone - even to people that aren't into programming (yet). This was the 4th online course I took and is the 'largest so far' ;)

Thank you for providing such excellent content!

if you're into computer coding and programming you should definitely think about taking this course. It will help you get a better understanding on how to write programs using Python and understanding how the computer interprets the information.
