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.

Its a good introductory course for python which quickly familiarizes you with the syntax and some of its nuances which do not exist in other programming languages like C/C++, Matlab, etc.

Very begginner friendly !

However, if you already know a programming language, this course is not for you as it goes in length over the basics of programming (syntaxe, functions, loops...)

Dr. Chuck is awesome. I wish I'd had him as my computer science instructor over twenty years ago when I was first introduced to programming. He makes learning a new language fun and easy.

I like the teacher very much because he is so humorous and intelligent. But I think the course is too easy to learn a lot of useful things. After all, thanks for the great effort!!!!!!!!!

Perfect for programming beginners. If you're already an experienced coder and want to learn Python, try subsequent courses in this specialisation as this is a very basic and foundational.
