Easy to follow and not boring. The instructor breaks things down in simple form. The Coursera platform is sometimes a bit quirky but otherwise the content in this course I thought was quite excellent.

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.

The course introduces Python from the very basics and slowly builds up from there. It has created a solid foundation for us to delve into more advance topics.

The course is pretty good for beginners as everything is explained clearly. But it would be even better if the instructor can talk more about how to use atom.

Great Start for people who have never coded - if you know another language, this will only take you a day to go through and provides you with a nice framework
