Excellent introduction to Programming in general and to Python specifically. Dr. Charles approach is very easy to understand and follow. I'll continue with the specialization on my way to develop useful applications.

Very good introduction to programming with python. Really goes in detail through the basics of programming and python. Although it covers only really basic things since there are other courses in this specialization.

I am really great full to the coursera community that they considered me for such a great course which helps in all round development of programming skills, it really teaches you each and everything you need to know.

This was my first online course. It was a very well taught course. Absolutely enjoyed taking it, and I am glad that I took it. Very well-planned course, even for the beginners as it starts from the basics. Loved it!!

Very clear (maybe too clear as for experienced C/C++ programmer), but I want to learn Python! and I find it amusing to work with code on a basic level, what makes my motivation very high. Glad I joined this course :)

The instructor is engaging to listen too. I had already taken another beginner Python course before this one, but I learned a number of things in this class. Most notably, I have a much better understanding of loops.

This is exactly how you want to begin to get your feet wet. Or, if you're like me and haven't touched a programming language in more than 20 years, it is a great chance to begin to explore the advances in the field.

Very properly designed course, never felt left out on any topic throughout the entire course.

It gives the proper introduction to python as a language and generates interest for learning further about this language !!

This course teaches you the basic to python language, from using if, elif, else, creating for and while loops, learning about expressions and variables and types. It is a very good introduction to Python programming.

Loved the lectures and the problems were really challenging as it test my knowledge that I have gathered from the lecture and also I really enjoyed the way Dr. chuck taught ! Altogether It was really nice and helpful

I have taken many intro to python courses and gained little knowledge. This course broke things down simply and helped me to understand the reasoning behind the programming. The instructor is great! Highly recommend.

The material was presented in a very dynamic, incremental, and engaging way. Dr. Severance does a great job at teaching in a way that loops you into thinking to arrive at the solution as opposed to just telling you.

This is the best foundation course I have ever taken for Python. Dr. Chuck was amazing in explaining the details of the course in the most effective way (with some humor in between :-) ) Will be coming back for more!

I've tried multiple introductory coding courses and never been able to stick with any of them. I really love how this course is designed to be taken in small stages so I feel like I'm always accomplishing something.

I love that this course explains everything from a very beginner and basic understanding! As someone coming from an entirely different field, the descriptions and explanation for Python is great! Thank you so much :)

I found this course very clear. It was almost a little slow for me because I have programmed in the past, but it was a great way to get back up to speed on the vocabulary, architecture and principles of programming.

Very informative and the combined work on the textbook and the video resources allows you to learn very quickly. I had no previous programming experience whatsoever, but I found it very enjoyable and I learned a lot!

It is really wonderful python course for those who have no basic sense with programming at all. Dr. Chuck is very inspiring and as well humorous, which makes this course effective and not so exhausting. Great course!

the course is very very good for people to learn. I like the teacher so much who gives simple instructions and makes it easy to follow. I really really appreciate this course!!!! And hope to learn more about this!!!!

I would highly suggest a large degree of patience. I am new to program and this required a large portion of patience to complete this section. I will stay focused and complete the additional courses. great course.

I have some background in programming (not advanced), so some of this was review, but it is a GREAT introduction to the world of programming, for anybody--as long as you have the interest, this is the place to start!

It's a great intro course to Python

Professor Severance is really great and brings it down to the lowest level one can understand.

The assignment tool is pretty great as well. Gives you the errors you need to work on.

Basic but thorough. Useful if you're a beginner as it starts from scratch or if you're a seasoned developer in other programming languages as it shows you the subtleties of Python. The interviews are interesting too.

Super fun and instructional course. Prof . Severance made everything very simple and fun. As someone who had very little experience in programming, this was course was excellent. Looking forward to the next course!
