Very good introduction to basic programming. Very easy for beginners in python who have already some programming background - but still extremely useful to quickly and efficiently learn python basics.

Great introduction to Python and programming as a whole. Everything is broken down making it easy to understand. Had zero programming experience before and this class made it easy and fun to get into.

A great intro to Python! Too much video that didn't seem useful to me (the office hours and accompanying video), but the lectures and practice provided a nice balance of learning.

This course is excellence. As a beginner in programming, I understand thoroughly the lessons. If one can put effort and is a quick learner, he/she can finish the course in a week.

Takes it slow, but really helps you understand and grasp what you are actually doing. First experience with any computer programming and eager to learn more. Definitely recommend.

It was a great course. Even if you don't know anything about programming you can take this course.

If you have some experience, you can fast forward to Data Structures with Python.
