I completed the course in about three days. I've never programmed before to the learning curve was excruciating but nonetheless I managed to get through and finally get my python feet wet so to speak.

Excellent, although, even without having any programming experience except some Visual Basic at school about ten years ago, in my opinion the course could have bee more difficult and the pace quicker.

For a guy like me with no prior programming knowledge, it was so much new language learning experience via online course. Specially the presentation and the sessions delivered by Professor Dr. Chuck was amazing. Thank you coursera for this initiative and Dr. Chuck.

Prof Severance is great! I enjoyed his teaching and the course is really comprehensive, I have close to zero background in programming and the course really guided me through and gave me an idea of it. I would love to take further courses to learn more about Python.

Very good introduction to computer programming and python. The concepts have been presented gradually and also it has been made a connection between the program and the hardware running the program. I also liked very much the bonus videos at the end of each chapter.

I couldn't have asked for any other better professor than Dr. Chuck for this. Very calm and composed professor, does not rush with the things no matter how obvious or basic they might be he explains it with utmost interest and concern. Best course for a beginner !

I knew nothing about Python before taking this class. Now I feel like I can code anything!! And the instructor wasn't just reading notes off a paper. He was genuine and engaging and made it feel like an in person class. (And I love that he referenced Harry Potter!)

Excellent Intro course. Always wanted to learn the language but I guess needed to find a best to do it online. So, I am taking advantage of spending more time and working from home, then, I am exchanging daily commute time for learning purposes. Good deal, right..?

This course gives you a head start to learn how to program Python in an easy and basic way.

If you don't know nothing about computers this is the best introductory course.

If you have some experience with computer but knows nothing about Python, this is also for you.

This course allows anyone to introduce to the principles of programming and the available tools that makes easier to code. Python itself as a Programming language is very readable and ideal for beginners or for non IT professionals who desire getting these skills.
