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 course! I had forgotten nearly all my programming from college, and this was a great way to get back into the mindset. There's not that many things as satisfying as trying to get your code to work, and finally getting it to function!

This course is particularly useful to help people without a computer background understand a variety of computer literacy, to learn a new computer language, and to explain very carefully. Recommend everyone to complete a series of courses.
