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.

Great intro, well thought of for complete beginners and really liked the part at the start explaining all the hardware, its functions and the relationships between the different parts.

This is the best course I have ever had in python. The instructor is great, the course is well balanced and the timeline helps to check on your progress.

Thanks, Coursera and Dr. Chuck.

The instructor is good, the course is incredibly detailed, beautifully made, and amazing for a beginner. These courses are worth a lot more than that for the amount of quality content.

Outstanding class. Dr. Chuck is a top notch instructor. I just can't believe that this is something that I can do. All my life, I thought it was beyond my capabilities, but it's not!

Dr Charles is just superb in explaining the concepts of programming.And his way of approach is funny and interesting which helps a lot in learning the course in a very interesting way.

Great course. Lays down the concept behind programming. Its not one of those courses that demand you learn infinite lines of code, rather it teaches you how to think like a programmer.

This is an excellent course for beginners. Especially those who are just starting to program. The work of the teacher is great! It is very interesting to listen and work with examples.

Great fundamental course! Its a bit remedial of you already know the basics of python though. I recommend just doing all the assignments and quizzes in a day for a refresher if you do.

Managed to complete this in 2 weeks as I have quite a lot of time available. The exercises were fairly simple and easy to understand giving me a good grounding in the basics of python.

Good course. Requires a decent foundation of concepts before you start. If you've taken other programing courses this should be a breeze. Otherwise it may require additional studying.

It was a great introduction to all things programming and I love the way Dr Chuck introduces new concepts. The assignments were tasking enough to make sure what I was learning stuck.

Un curso muy bueno, a pesar de ser básico, es un curso que te adentra a este mundo de la programación sin mucho problema. El instructor explica de una forma muy didáctica y divertida.
