I'd recommend this course because it's really easy and shows you that coding isn't as daunting as it seems to be. I would also recommend completing this in a hurry and moving on to the rest of the courses offered in the specialization.

Интересно и познавательно для тех, кто только начал изучать программирование. Для тех же, кто сам занимался и изучал какое-то время курс покажется очень легким. Собственно он и ориентирован на поверхностное изучение основ для новичков

Overall a best course. The way Dr. Charles Severence makes us understand the use of Python. All the built-in functions, lists, tuples and everything is so streamlined. It makes it easier for me to understand the programming language.

There are may be hundreds of courses for python out there. But what makes this one the best is Prof. Charles's approach to pick up the topics to begin with, it never bores you and keeps your interest intact in the subject. Thank you.

Very nice starting course for someone with even no programming experience, if you have some experience you can go though it faster to learn the basics of python and use it for some programs. I am looking forward for the second course.

Great course. Clear explanations with worked examples. The autograder is amazing - you can know immediately whether your codes are correct, and the autograder is flexible such that it accepts more than one way to arrive at the output.
