Python gives you wings but you will definitely need an Automail expert engineer from Computer Science to attach them with your neural network. Charles Severance is amazing instructor and others will enjoy his classes too.

slides and video lessons were very clear and made my first programming course very easy to follow. The course followed a very logical path that built on the prior so you can see how the skills you learned came together.

My first real start to coding in Python. There was no better place and better time as well. The intelligent and fun-to-be-with tutor nailed every topic so great. I learned so much in few days, thanks to Charles Severance.

This is the first online course I 've ever taken and this is beyond my expectation. The course is sequential with the detailed points made by the professor, which is very catchy for a rookie to start. I really like it!!!!

The course is designed in very well manner, especially Dr. Chuck explanation about each fact in detail. Not too lengthy not too short focused on practical assignments which is important rather than theoretical knowledge.

extremely basic but Dr. Charles Russell Severanc is so interesting that you never get bored. You can pass the course in a few days with minimum or even no programming knowledge. It's a good starting point for beginners.

Dr Charles Severance lessons are never boring. I have enjoyed attending his class and his humor never fails to make me laugh. I'm sure I can excel better if the lessons are conducted face to face with Dr Charles. Thanks!

I can write a program without any second thought. But in this course, I learn lots of insight into computer and engineering in the machine. And lastly, python is a super language for any noob who can fit themselves here.

Excellent beginners course for python. Anyone can learn the basics with the topics covered. And end of week assessments help to assess yourself, if you are sincere enough to give them by yourself without taking any help.

This is the best python course for someone who has not dealt with any programming language. Since I have some experiences from Java, I found this course a little bit low level ,yet still useful. Thank you Mr. Severance .

I was just revising my python skills while I came across this course, and have to say this is one of the best courses out there to learn. The professor goes slow for beginners and intermediates can easily go at 2x speed.

Fantastic first course. It explains the fundamental concepts at a good pace, perfect for a person with a non-programing background (myself). Exercises were well structured and suitable for people with minimal experience.

Dr. Chunk give a very great introduction for using python to program, the content is easy to catch up, and Dr.Chunk uses multiple flow chart and block diagrams and lots of example to make me understand the points faster.
