I completed the course in about three days. I've never programmed before to the learning curve was excruciating but nonetheless I managed to get through and finally get my python feet wet so to speak.

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.

Very good introduction to Python. Can be challenging but I'm living proof that you can start this with no experience in programming and finish it in time!

Already a programmer; just taking this to become familiar with Python and Coursera. It worked for me, and seemed very beginner friendly. I'd recommend it.

Very didactic. I took programming back in school (1975) and learned Fortran. I just needed some refreshers to get back in the mood and this course did it.

A bit slow if you already know other languages but the teacher is nice and I guess that for people who have no idea about programming it is a good lecture
