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.

very good course, takes you step by step and teaches you all you need to do for a good basis of programming. for those who want to remove some rust, you can just read the lectures and run on this course.

Great instructor full of energy, didn't know anything about Python before this, now i am sure i can create some mini-tools on my own! I'd urge anyone at any age or background to try and take this course.

Es un curso, que si bien no es fácil, el instructor lo hace parecer como si lo fuera. Bastante didáctico y pedagógico para iniciar en python. El libro es una buena traducción bastante entendible. Gracias

I already program with Python. However, I took this course to learn how to teach Python to little kids since it is one of the most popular programming courses out there. I definitely wasn't disappointed.

I had some background knowledge, so I thought I could complete it in less time, but I spent a lot of time completing the final task. Thanks to this task, I was able to learn a lot about Python.

Thank you.

Great for someone who has learned programming before, but not specifically python, but also great for a novice programmer. Well paced, and quick to the point of how programming works in this environment.

A great course on the basics and functioning logic of python. The Instructor does provide good insight and examples on how everything works in detail out and thus, the material to learn seems quite easy.

Loved this course, Prof Chuck leads you through the course in his own style.

I found the jump from understanding what he was talking about to the last assignment a little steep, but I got there.

Thank you!

Really appreciated. Although the beginnings were quite slow and professor was getting to the point quite slowly (what's CPU, what's memory,...) then the course got the right pace and I really enjoyed it!
