It is the first course I have successfully completed on Coursera. I had a vague background in programming from my undergraduate studies in Engineering, but I have always wanted to learn more. I have found this Course to be the right place so far. I think it’s oriented to anybody who wants to learn to program in general with no specific background and that definitely has been ideal for me. I am continuing with the next course, let’s see how it goes...

This is very basic course but thoroughly explained which is useful for all kinds of people irrespective of their age and this course serves as a good touch for people who fear to learn programming or some other reasons.I grasped the contents and assignments serves as a good value to this basic python introduction.Thank you so much Coursera for the opportunity provided and thanks be to Dr.Charles Severance for his elaborate explanation of concepts.

Learning Python Programming Language from Coursera was the perfect decision for me. I had now developed a thorough understanding of Python programming. Thanks to the Professor for teaching me this course. The concepts was very much cleared and he has explained all the basic topics like syntax, loops, conditional statements etc, wonderfully. That's why I will recommend all my batchmates or my juniors to learn any topic from Coursera.

Thankyou Coursera

Great Course would recommend to everyone...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Thank You.

I found the instructor to be very informative, having no background in coding myself he made it easy and fun to learn the topics for the course. The only frustrating thing about the class was that the auto grader for assignments would not always recognize when requirements for an assignment had been met. So, even though the code was correct and I got the desired output I would sometimes have to try it in a multitude of ways to get my grade to store.

Great book, fun course. I mainly read chapters of a book instead of watching videos, then did tests and exercises. However, slides were very useful for refreshing before starting a new chapter or just to have a look at key points summarized. I am very thankful to the authors, who made learning my first programming language non-frustrating. I really got addicted to it. I admire the comparison of Python to a dog who doesn't understand what you want fr

Amazing intro to programming class. I'm consulting with a tech startup and wanted to have better conversations with my developers. This is a great class to learn the "theory" of programming. I started taking an HTML, CSS and Javs Script class about half way through (chapter 4), because I need some piratical application. However, this course gave me the foundation. It's good to get error msgs!!! Looking forward to taking the rest of the series!

Outstanding introduction to Python programming language that will lay strong foundation to the more advanced topics about Python. The teaching style is superb and the things you learn stick in the long term memory really quickly. You need, however, to put additional effort on your side in order to truly "get" what's going on and learn and program as much as you can, as doing is really learning. Excellent, excellent course, teacher and the community.

Lo hare en español porque quizas a alguien le parezca mas comodo, realmente me encanta python aunque aveces me haga llorar jajaja, este curso esta muy bueno para quien este iniciando, lo hice mas que todo por la persona quien la dicta, realmente me motivo a empezar mi camino con este hermoso lenguaje llamado python y le sigo desde mis primeros pasos viendo su curso desde freecodecamp, muchas gracias a todos y recuerden seguir adelante y no rendirse

This is the best course ever, I have never enjoyed any course this much. I would like to thank Dr. Chuck for putting so much efforts to make students learn at their best. Everything about this course is so perfect , the assessments, the quiz which helps to brush up your skill. I have never been to complete any course yet, this was the first one, again Amazing content , and the most amazing instructor. Thankyou coursera, for bringing up this course.

I got this course in the financial aid. Trust me guys this is one of the finest and most structured course for python on internet. Though i have completed only 1st part of the course that is 1-5 chapters of the book PY4E but still i feel confident about writing python code for what i have learnt. If you take this course you will master the basics of python and gradually improve and be ready for placement. Thank you, i think that is enough for now.

his is a well-designed, well-taught course to learn about basics of python and control flow.Apart form engaging teaching and amazing content, I loved the Bonus videos(they were really insightful, made me surprised and motivated at the same time, to learn python and programming) and Dr. Chuck's goal behind teaching this course is really inspiring. It also gives a glimpse of how programs work under the

hood on the hardware viz. memory, CPU etc.

Excellent Course! This course really gives someone the foundation of python coding and gives yourself early confidence in learning this skill to continue to take on new challenges in working towards being an expert. You will not come away with building any major project from this class, but it will definitely give you the foundation in getting to build that next level of this skill. If you are an aggressive learner you can complete within 2 weeks.

Excellent beginner course! I had some previous coding experience, so some of the in-depth explanations were kind of redundant for me, but I thought they were excellent, especially for anyone with no coding experience. And I learned a lot about some of the Python syntax and how it differs from other languages. The problems were interesting and fun, and challenging. I do wish we could run the code in something other than the command prompt, though.

Just excellent, a really good professor, you can notice that he loves what he does, and that it´s the best way to do things, I will try to do all courses of Python from University of Michigan for sure. Thank you so much for this experience Professor. The only problem with this course is that it is my first one in coursera and It set the bar too high. Best regards to Charles Severance if you reads this, and again thank you so much for teaching us.

As the course says, programming here is for everybody! Even a person with zero programming knowledge can easily crack this up. It is a very user friendly learning tool. One can easily finish the course with so much flexibility and adaptiveness. The course is really qualitative and suits a developing programmer who's needs are simple. I am completely satisfied with the course as it met my goal which was to learn the first step of coding in python.

This is the perfect course for someone who is a beginner. I understood the logic and made it simple to remember how to program. The instructor and lessons are understandable and fun to learn and I can say I actually learned how to program. I came from zero python knowledge and was very pleased with what I acquired over this course. Additionally, the professor is very personable and about the course material and the delivery method. Thank you

Rating 5 stars for teaching style. When you are largely unfamiliar with programming it is important to not skip silly steps in explanation that might seem obvious. The information was very compact with made it easily digestible and encouraging to continue to the next level. The exercises increased nicely in complexity without sudden jumps in knowledge so that it would not give the impression that you are stuck forever in the pit hole of doom ;-)

This course is just amazing.

It help me start learning Python and also help to improve my English.

The professor is excellent and also very funny,i like him.

Course material is the reason that i choose the course.This course has a chinese subtitle,and also has a PDF version of the book(which also has translated into chinese),it's so good.

I will take the following course as well,and i think it will also help me a lot.

I'm looking forword to it.

Best for: Casual learners on a budget who are looking to learn new skills. With The Great Courses, there’s no minimum subscription and you get unlimited access to only what you pay for. Overall: The Great Courses is a flexible platform that allows you to learn on your own terms in your own time.Compared to other platforms, The Great Courses has online and offline options and is compatible with over devices like Roku, Kindle Fire, and even DVD.

I think that the course was very good. If you are a beginner and want to choose the right way to learn Python, this course is a good option, but in order to establish a strong foundation, you must continue to apply what you learn in the course. I think it would have been better if the course had included more exercises, not for evaluation but only training exercises.

Many thanks to everyone who worked hard to produce this educational material.

Easy to understand and follow along. Having the lecture's typed out helped a lot with taking notes and going back over information that was mentioned and if something was mentioned quickly but you did not quite catch. Allowed to take your time and give your the resource to understand the material. Great instructor that clearly explained the material as well as gave easy examples for first time programmers to better understand what is going on.

This is an excellent course for a beginner with no coding background like myself. After contemplating on which course to start on learning programming, I am so glad I took this one. This course built up my confidence in taking the challenge to learn something totally new! Lectures were engaging, study materials were adequate, reading the free online book before watching lecture videos really helped too. Thank you Prof. Chuck, you are awesome!

I'm Japanese.This is my second online lecture and I enjoyed it. For people who has some programming experience in other programming language like me, maybe this lecture seems a little boring and prolix.But if you hadn't write python,you want to study python,you don't want to overlook fundamental python syntax and you need experience of lecture by English teacher without your mother language subscript,this lecture will be good for your future.

Hello There! I am a PHP web application developer and I am highly interested to make myself a good programmer. Recently I am to learn OpenERP Software which is created using Python. I found this course very useful to enrich my skill in programming concept and learning Python. I am very happy to find this course via one of my friends. I am so excited. This is really a great opportunity to learn. Thanks much for your effort dear management! :-)
