I definitely recommend this course for everyone who is interested in programming. As it says that it is for everyone, even for people without a background. It was the first step for me in programming but I will go for it to develop myself.

Strongly recommendable for programming beginners. Python is a relatively straightforward language and is more explicit if you wish to do something in a short time. This course covers the basics of Python and it really explains things well.

I've been learning Python from youtube channels so this course was kind of easy to me, but if I compare both styles of learning, I prefer this one because it has an order and the explanations are so much clear.

This is an excellent course!

The instructor starts teaching from very basics which helps non-programmers to get the concepts easily. Moreover, he made the foundation strong by delivering key points that other instructors usually skip this thing to go straight forward.

The course is excellent. Dr. Chuck is an excellent teacher as he can make the difficult terms easy to understand the content and pace of the course is well adjusted. I would recommend the course to anyone who has zero background to Python.

This is a very simple yet interesting course introducing someone who has no experience in programming before into the world of programming. For those who have already had background in Computer Science, this course is a tad too high-level.

Great course! I had forgotten nearly all my programming from college, and this was a great way to get back into the mindset. There's not that many things as satisfying as trying to get your code to work, and finally getting it to function!

This course is particularly useful to help people without a computer background understand a variety of computer literacy, to learn a new computer language, and to explain very carefully. Recommend everyone to complete a series of courses.

Great overview and basics in Python. As a major in Info Systems and turned offering manager, I really enjoyed getting back to this. Dr. Chuck was absolutely fantastic and kept things engaging. Micro Learning is the best to keep engagement.
