Very beautifully taught. I gained basic python programming knowledge quite easily. The lecturer is fun and encourages students to want to learn more. In general, it was an awesome learning experience.

Really helpful and friendly to bigginers. I had no coding experience before but I found the course easy to follow and it really strikes my interest on coding! I will definitely check other courses related to python and coding.

Charles is a fun and engaging instructor. The material is clear and the exercises are challenging enough but not impossible to keep you motivated and pushing through. Looking forward to the next course in this specialization!

It gives very clear and solid bases to learn to progam in Python. I already knew how to program before doing this course, but I wanted to learn Python. With this I believe I have a good understanding on how to write on Python.

An excellent course to introduce you to programming. It has a very well organized and systematic structure so that you dont feel burdened at any point at all. The course material is very well detailed and simple to understand.

I absolutely love it and I'm gonna keep going, becoming a Python programmer that would make Dr. Chuck beam with pride! I'm super stoked about this journey and I won't stop until I've mastered Python like a pro. Let's do this!

First of All I would say thanks to my teacher Dr. Charles Russell because his teaching style was very good and along with learning I have enjoyed this course. That was my first online course overall experience was very good.

100% Recomendable, no solo aprendí a programar en python, sino que aprendí la lógica de programación. Si bien los cursos son inglés los subttítulos son muy adecuados, las presentaciones ayudan mucho y Chuck es un MAESTRO!!!.

Explained all the stuff that many other course skip. The course dives into the concept and the how-to get setup to code, and the basics of coding. It was entertaining, I learned a lot, and I'm ready to now learn a lot more!

It is the first course that I completed in Coursera. I really love the way how Mr. Charles delivers lessons through 7 weeks. It's freaking funny, easy to understand, he is really patient to explain each section in the course.

I cant think about a better way to learn Python. The instructor makes you feel quite confident and explains details in various ways. Also the external tool is very useful given it allows you to actually apply what you learnt.

This really is geared for people with no experience in computer science or coding -- some of the explanations and concepts seemed very basic to me -- but it would be perfect for someone completely new to computer programming.

Excellent course. The topics were explained in very detail. This course is suitable even for a newcomer in programming who has not dealt with any programming in his/her life. Thank you Dr. Charles Severance. You are the best.

It is an excellent course for beginners to understand what is Python. Dr Chuck is a wonderful lecturer to make the class more fun and he tries to use simple examples to explain abstract concepts from Python. I enjoy it a lot.

The Programs is complete perfect for beginners even without the prior information of the coding and for those who know may fell little know stuff is present .still will learn new things.I recommend all to take up this Course.

This is really the best course that I have found yet for a complete beginner - I am pretty sure that this course can teach the fundamentals of Python programming to someone who just recently learned how to turn on a computer.

It was very informative and helped me to clear all my doubts and make the Python basics base Stronger with loops, conditional statements, and all the interesting Assignments.

Looking forward to the next part - data structures!

Really well done. I appreciated the humor sprinkled in. I felt as I did when I was actually sitting in my college classes. I know it's an online course, but Professor Severance really made it feel like I was in his classroom.

Great course - easy to understand and plenty of practice material. Really liked the lecturer too, a very nice man, who you can see put a lot of effort and passion into this. Will definitely be progressing onto the next stage!

It is a good course for begineers. I recommend that , if you are going for this course , you should complete it as soon as possible. Because it does not cover all the aspects of python. Its basic python syntax and semantics.

This was a great intro class to learning python. I was impressed by the instructor, and how he was able to break down each concept to the basics so that someone who is new to computer science has an opportunity to learn well.

Excellent course to get acquainted with Python's syntax and essential structures. It is truly a class for all: from strict beginning beginners more experienced programmers looking to refresh base concepts in a Python context.

This course has been taught exceptionally well mainly for people without programming background.

Exercises were moderate. The lecture videos are helpful to get started with Python. Dr.Chuck videos are truly inspiring to learn.
