I can only recommend this course for absolute beginners in programming. It starts with the hardware part and introduces programming in Python stepwise. The autograder tool for the assignment works (and is

This was an amazing course. His lectures were very easy to understand and this course is great for programming beginners. If you have background knowledge for programming, you might feel this course easy.

terrific professor, enjoyed how he explained various components of programming, including terminals (shells), files, the relationship of a CPU to memory alongside with all of the early programming syntax.

Really thorough introduction to Python. Is perfect for anyone who has never been exposed to a programming or coding language before. Easy to follow and the enthusiasm of the instructor is infectious!!! :)

Awesome course. It was fun learning python and listening to the lectures was very interesting. I really appreciate all the efforts put in by the entire team to make such a easy to learn course for python.

The instructor was very helpful. The material made a lot of sense after he explained it. The course was much better than other online ones I've done where you just type commands with little explanation.

The classes were great - very informative. The discussion forums was my favorite - I was able to get live help on the hw assignments from classmates and mentors. Thank you for a great learning experience!

Pretty awesome course to do as a Python beginner. Being a computer science undergraduate myself felt that this course can be taken up without having any prior knowledge to programming. Go house Slytherin!

Great courses!

Thank you , Charles Severance, for making it easier to understand. Your lectures are always very informative, interesting and interactive.

And thanks for such a great platform as a Coursera!

I would recommend this course to non-programmers and junior programmers too. The material is explained in a very simple manner and the additional weekly interviews are very inspirational and motivational.

Great introduction. Dr Chuck covers the critical pieces without throwing everything at you. Highly recommend it for people learning from square one or just wanting add another language to their toolkit.

very good course, takes you step by step and teaches you all you need to do for a good basis of programming. for those who want to remove some rust, you can just read the lectures and run on this course.

Great instructor full of energy, didn't know anything about Python before this, now i am sure i can create some mini-tools on my own! I'd urge anyone at any age or background to try and take this course.

Es un curso, que si bien no es fácil, el instructor lo hace parecer como si lo fuera. Bastante didáctico y pedagógico para iniciar en python. El libro es una buena traducción bastante entendible. Gracias

This course is an exceptional starting point for individuals diving into the world of programming. It provides a solid foundation in programming concepts, making it accessible and engaging for beginners.

The course includes the principles of Python programming and computer principles. Both are well explained by the lecturer in a simple way for everybody.

Thanks Coursera

Thank you Prof/ Charles R. Severance

I already program with Python. However, I took this course to learn how to teach Python to little kids since it is one of the most popular programming courses out there. I definitely wasn't disappointed.

Charles is one of the best prefessors/teachers I have ever seen. The course is really well structured and down to all the nitty-gritty. Thanks a lot for putting so much efforts in it and I enjoyed a lot!

All course is very well constructed and explained. It allowed me to understand and write the first codes, beginner codes in one week. Tried other courses before and never got any result. Congratulations!

I had some background knowledge, so I thought I could complete it in less time, but I spent a lot of time completing the final task. Thanks to this task, I was able to learn a lot about Python.

Thank you.

Muy buen curso para iniciarse en el mundo de Python. Abarca todo lo necesario de la mano de un excelente profesor y a un ritmo muy adecuado para poder mantenerse interesado y aprender sin complicaciones.

Great for someone who has learned programming before, but not specifically python, but also great for a novice programmer. Well paced, and quick to the point of how programming works in this environment.

Excelente curso para todos aquellos que quieren empezar en el mundo de Python. El profesor muy motivante y explica muy bien los contenidos. Hay ejercicios prácticos para poder entrenarse en programación.

GREAT TEACHER!!! it was very inspiring and motivating, not bored at all! the way how it is presented - thats more that perfect and it grabs you in.. you want more and more with each chapter..

Thanks a lot

Guided me into the world of Python and programming in an easy and enjoyable manner. Recommended this course to a few of my friends already, and seems like they are also very satisfied with this material.
