The course content is well-organized that makes students easy to follow, but there is limited amount of examples and exercises for students to learn how to apply the knowledge in real world situation.

I loved it! Dr. Chuck is extraordinary in his explanations. A great way to start on Python programming. As a person that hasn't programmed in years it was an encouraging and educational experience :-)

I worked in IT for 12 years including at a software company (not as a programmer) This is the only course I've ever come across that finally made programming approachable and understandable.

First time learning Python (or any coding language, really) and absolutely loved it! Got done with this in just over a week, whilst dedicating 2-3 hours to it each day. So excited for more!

Hola amigos, me gusto mucho esta primera parte del cursos. Como consejo, si no entiendes el ingles, buscate la versión en español del libro, cada capítulo es una semana. Avanzas más rápido.

Easy to follow for a beginner. The assignments are quite helpful with moderate hardship; they allow you to practice writing a code, check the error and improve your code so that it can run.

Best way to start programming. Incredible coach, well taught, and guided. It will not take you more than 4 days to complete, even if you are totally new to Python or programming in general.
