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.

This was my first Coursera class. I did enjoy it a lot. I am brand new to programming and the lessons seemed informative and comprehendible. I will definitely continue with the other 4 segments of this course.

Great advent to Python and programming as a whole. Everything is damaged down making it easy to understand. Had 0 programming experience before and this elegance made it clean and fun to get into.

Thanking you!

On this Teacher's Day (5th Sep in India), I must say Dr. Chuck is one of the best teachers I've learned. It is so easy to follow the course and I am able to do all the exercises quite easily. Thanks Dr. Chuck.

Excellent Course. Professor Charles Severance was very helpful in telling us what we needed to know and how to do it. I'm happy to have taken this course, and recommend it to others who want to explore python.

Really gentle intro into Python and programming starting with Hello World and going through conditionals and loops. Enjoyed the way the instructor explained concepts to help the student think like the machine.

The content includes basic knowledge of python and skills. With some programming backgroud, it is easy to pick up python after watching these courses videos and finishing the assignments. It's helpful. Thanks.

One of the best online courses I have done -mostly as a refresher so I ran through the whole thing in 2 days (about 4h of work) but it got me interested in completing the whole series within a couple of weeks.

Great introductory course on Python. The way of explanation of the lecture was very easy to understand the lecture, and the exercises and quizzes were very good to gauge the knowledge gained from the lecture.

Very helpful curse to make you understand how to write a code not just do the code, with great support material when things gets hard you just have to read and watch videos again and you can solve the curse.
