Excellent course! In such short time I was able to learn a lot of interesting things about programing in Python! All the basis foundations are explained in a solid and didatic way by Dr. Chuck! Much excited to made the rest of integrated courses!

This course has taught me so much and challenged me in ways I didn't think code would. It's exciting to understand what Python can do and what you can make it do. This course covers the basics with difficult challenges and a great instructor. :)

Love the way the instructor delivers the information. Great instructor. The assignments require more information than that have been explained in the videos. The final project requires knowledge on appending the user input which wasn't discussed.

I liked this course very much, and I want to thank Coursera for providing this kind of information in this quality

The thing I liked the most was the method of Tests and Assignments

I advise anyone who wants to learn programming to take this course

I liked how the instructor broke down each topic in simpler terms. Personally I hate it when other professors use complicated terms, it is a hassle to me since I have to pause and then search for its meaning. I truly enjoyed learning this course.

This course was so understandable, more like the instructor made this course live up to the name - Programming for Everybody. I, a complete novice in Python, found wanting myself to learn more and more from the same instructor. Kudos to Dr Chuck!

I was novice to programming. Despite my hectic schedule of working (I am heading a department in a technical institute), Dr. Chuck made to understand the basics of Python I could complete the course in about 5 weeks. Planning to take next course.

The Overall Course is Perfect and the way instructor clears his message to the students is unique. The Interview videos in the course motivate students to learn more. I would suggest students to take this course before this course is worth taking

This course was awesome. I've studied some Python, but Dr. Chuck was an excellent instructor and made it very easy to understand concepts that might be confusing to a new developer. I would recommend this course to anyone wishing to learn Python.

An effective course of python programming for the beginners who have just started programming. It's a great initiative by the coursera community to facilitate and help the students with the online courses to seek some great skills and knowledge.

Great course for beginners. I studied all programming fundamentals in school and was just trying to learn Python. I found that this course is very good for anyone that is trying to learn fundaments of programming even you have no prior knowledge.

Videos are clear and all the assignments are very useful to actually understand and output all the things I learned.

Even though I am very new to programming, he starts from very basic and goes slowly which made me more motivated about the course.

I have never properly learnt a computer programming language. Had always a feeling of falling behind for not knowing any programming language. This course gave me the confidence to understand the basic way of doing and thinking about programming.

I hadn't done any programming in about 10 years so this course was a great refresher to basic concepts. It also taught me the basic syntax of Python (which is new to me). It is very well taught and gives you a good little starting-out foundation.

I would've never thought I'd understand what I understand after only a few weeks of watching videos! Really impressed with how engaging the professor is and how they've structured this first course. Praying I feel as motivated in those to come =)

This is a very good course for Python. I learn a lot, including how to install Python, how to write simple code on Python. The professor is pretty good at teaching, explaining the knowledge very clearly. I appreciate this course and thanks a lot.

It is one of the best courses available on any MOOC. It is for absolute beginners and people knowing any prog language might feel like skipping ahead in some of the videos. But nonetheless, it is a great course and Dr.Chuck is a great teacher !
