Very good introduction to basic programming. Very easy for beginners in python who have already some programming background - but still extremely useful to quickly and efficiently learn python basics.

It was an awesome course , the instructor was very good at explaining it in a (hogward) like way .It was fun, i feel like anyone who doesn't have prior knowledge on programming can learn it with ease.

Excelent course. I am a programmer teacher and I do not know Python. That is the reason to do this course. But beyond that I am excited because the examples and the way to teach are very good.

I liked this course since it is down to the very basic in programming. A person who has never programmed before, will definitely learn how to program, as well as learning the basics in Python

The Educator feels like he was damn young while teaching and this course helped me to revise whatever i had learnt earlier and moreover helped me know the topics with which i was not familiar

I don't know anything about programming and this course teaches me a lot, of curse I will keep learning about python until I master it. I want to thank Mr. Charles for this wonderful course.

Generally very good and informative class. My only nitpicks are that at times the class can meander around the topics and take a while to explain why a concept is useful, but otherwise solid.

Very good course for beginners. Professor explains things well and on all fronts, including the local Python installation. The tools are good and easy to use. You can skip the bonus material.

While I have a background in com sci, this was in my opinion a great overview of the basics of python and how to approach writing software to accomplish a simple but possibly repetitive task.

It's being amazing to learn with Coursera. I'm starting from zero, but the course is so well structured, that is possible to see evolution every day! Looking forward to starting the next one!

Prof. Chuck uses humour as a mechanism to not bore the class and my favourite part is where he speaks about HarryPotter and also the way he explains stuff and makes it easier and fun to learn

A really nice course. It sets the path for further learning, teaches the concepts from the ground-up and combines them very well. A very good option for begginers to get started with Python.
