The best introduction to a programming language one can possibly imagine . The instructor was very explicit in the logical approach and took care of the basics and technicalities while switching between text editor and the prompt .

Very beginner-oriented, but still gives a good overview of the basics in Python. Reasonable weekly time commitment and also good balance with some non-technical information like the story of the Python creator in (optional) videos.

Programming for Everybody(getting started with python) is a wonderful course which beginners can take-up and get their basics in python. This is a part of specialization course and hence this can be used for further specialization.

Excellent class! I had some on the job exposure to programming with SAS and SQL, but this was my first formal class. It really helped me understand what I am doing, and I learned new things as well. The instructor is very engaging.

Hello Charles,

Thank you very much, I personally admire the way you teach the lesson with fun and all the other efforts you put in the course. I learned a lot and now I remembered each and everything I learned during C programming.

Very good for the beginners, since I knew Java little bit it was an added advantage for doing exercises. But overall professor made it really easy to understand this course. I will strongly recommend it to start with Python basics.

From someone who didn't know much, this seems like a fairly good way to get started, the self pacing aspect is ideal. I will try to come back and rate this when I know more, and have a better understanding of where this is leading.

Excellent first course. I was able to understand the lectures, supplement my knowledge with the text book, and reinforce with exercises and quizzes.

I like that a number of topics were introduced without exhausting one at a time.

It was quite an interesting course covering mainly the book as referenced and while beginners can get hold of it too, programmers porting from different coding platforms can also catch up easily with python as taught in this course
