This was by far the best Python course I have taken for absolute beginners. A lot of other courses begin with the basics but suddenly jump to more complex concepts after a week or two, but this course progresses beautifully for an absolute novice and is truly 'Programming for Everybody: Getting started with Python'

Wonderful course conducted by Dr. Charles Severance where he has explained the Python concepts in such a lucid manner that even people having no prior coding experience will find it very easy to learn.

This course is definitely among the finest examples of pedagogy in programming. Thank you Dr. Charles and Coursera.

This course started very easy but ending slightly challenging so it was a perfect introduction to Python as well as general programming for me. My background is limited to writing lots and lots of SQL but always on the analytics side, not on the infrastructure side. Looking forward to continuing the specialization!

Clear, useful introductory course to programming in general and of course Python. Professor Charles is a great instructor, thanks to his optimistic attitude and engagement make things easier because he makes you laugh using funny an creative way to explain, It makes you feel more confident even if you fail at first

For beginners, it is very good. Dr. Chuck explains start explaining the world of Python in simple terms and with a kind of fun atmosphere. Which is good because you will not get board. I was able to finish the 7 weeks course in 2 days! It was fun indeed and leaves you with a feeling of "let's keep learning more".

professors are very intelligent, They are really very much friendly and well elaborated . And the videos are very well structured and well framed. the professors are really help very much to me and the website of coursera is also very well framed , it is really very helpfull for solving the problems in programs.

If you want to know the basics of the python, then this is your platform. I just want to give you one advice, all the answers of the assignments are available on the internet. so don't cheat, you will not gain knowledge if you cheat. apart form that the course is informative and gives you basic knowledge of python

I cannot rave enough about Charles Severance. He makes learning the language fun and goes at the perfect pace--and he's entertaining! I found myself giggling as he was working through some explanations.

This is THE quintessential class everyone should take before diving into tougher sections of Python. Thank you!!!

Very easy and basic programming friendly for all beginners. Actually it only takes about an hour for the courses and assignments per week. I had a little bit of java programming experience in high school but I think this is really good and relax for a programming review and start to learn new programming language.

First finished course on Coursera! I wanted to learn Python some years ago but did not find the time, the motivation and the right teacher... Charles is a great teacher and I really like how he oresents the concepts and the community. This course is one of the best I had as a MOOC (and I did more than 15 already).

Dr Chuck is a great instructor. Keeps us entertained throughout his lectures. Got help from teaching staff in the discussion forums very quickly, and was really happy about it. This course covers everything from the very basics, so anyone with zero programming knowledge can also take it! Thanks to the entire team!

Outstanding! Charles Severance is an extremely dedicated and passionate professor who makes you embrace Python3 like an entertaining activity; The rhythm of the lessons is accurate and the difficulty increases gradually from the basic programming skills up to the initial data structure; A must for learning python!

A great intro to Python! Professor Chuck explains everything in a clear way and makes it enjoyable. I just wish all the assignments had worked exercises because it takes some time getting used to the idea of writing your first bit of code. Nonetheless, this is a great start and I look forward to the second course!

I've tried to learn Python for years! Always starting and stopping...there is something about Dr. Chuck and Coursera that has helped me go farther than any previous effort. The learning is challenging and very rewarding! Thank you! The PDF of Python for Informatics by Charles Severance helped reinforce the videos.

The course as well as the course contents are perfect. Dr. Chuck explains all the concepts really well. Whether one has done programming earlier or not, this course will give you an insight of what programming means. I would highly recommend this course to everyone who wants to learn Python. Go for it . Good Luck!

Knew absolutely nothing coming into this. The method of teaching is great and had me thinking in different ways I normally don't think in. I'm no expert yet but I can at least look at any code and understand what I'm looking at and be able to slowly work on it. Will be doing the next parts of the course for sure.

First of all the instructor is great and his way of teaching is awesome. None of the lectures is boring and everything was so well explained.

The greatest thing about this course is that in this course the language is taught in such a simple way that even a person that has never used a computer can understand it.

Really love that there is a textbook that goes along with the course. I like to read the textbook along with the lectures and I really like having a reference for review in the months and years to come. Without a textbook we have nothing to come back to one or two years later when we want to refresh our memories.

Very well structured to give a basic understanding of python. Good ratio of worked examples to assessments, where the assessments force you to apply knowledge gathered throughout the videos and not simply copy worked examples. Instructor is very likeable and you can tell he is very passionate about his profession

This is the ideal course for a beginner. As I already knew the basics of C programming some of the concepts was already clear to me. Still I would recommend this course if you already know another programming language and trying to learn python. However in that case you will be able to complete the course early.

"Python for Everybody" is the perfect start for beginners....sir chuk...you are really funny and your way of teaching is very good to bring the interest in anyone....who ever is thinking to take this course go for it ...you won't even feel stressed or pressurized...so go learning ...go coding....enjoy with python

This course is amazing for every beginner who wants to step into the programming world. Anyone can learn the basics of programming from this course. Also, it has a playground (Online coding environment) to run your program and to test them. Very thankful to Instructor and Coursera for availing this course for us.

In the beginning, i knew nothing about python but now it is 20% . I think computer languages are difficult to peoples if they haven't learnt from good teachers like you because you have started this course from zero. you taught us the very very basic point.

so thankyou sir to make python easy understandable to us.

Very good one for the once who are starting fresh on this programming knowledge. I know couple of programming languages, but i wanted to learn python. So not a bad one, in fact it turned to be the best on for me. Now I'm pretty good with the basics as well and i would like to take this to next level.

Thank you :)

I really appreciated the structure of the course. All of the video content easily covered the topics needed for the assignments. I also find the course textbook to be incredibly concise and to the point. I didn't feel like any information was missing and it was very easy to navigate if I needed to find an answer.
