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.

Excellent, although, even without having any programming experience except some Visual Basic at school about ten years ago, in my opinion the course could have bee more difficult and the pace quicker.

I really enjoyed it! I'm quite new to this, but I had no problem understanding the content whatsoever. It took me some time to complete the assignment, but you have to be patient and keep in mind that you might mess it up 10 times before you get it right, and that's programming!

I think this python course is very helpful for me which taught me basics about python scripting. Indeed, I am a Environmental Science student and working knowledge of python is very important in this field. Overall, I am very thankful for providing financial aid for this course.

I really really love this course! This is my first time get in touch with computer related course. I thought I would be difficult and tough for me. But actually I found programming and python language really interesting! Thanks to this course a lot, and thanks to coursera a lot!

This is a great introduction to the Python programming language! You really don't need to know anything about computers or math to get through the course. Just get started, spend some time with it, and the end will come before you know it! I definitely enjoyed taking this class.

After this first course of five you will definitely have an understanding of what python is and how to utilize the language to begin interacting with it. Coming from zero knowledge prior to the course I feel confident enough to move forward and begin learning different concepts.

I've tried to learn programming through books and college courses. Unsurprisingly, all it takes me to get interested is to GOOD TEACHER. Dr. Chuck is a better instructor than I could've ever imagined for this course. I'm looking forward to these next parts of the specialization.

Great! I work at a tech company in a non-technical role. This course supplemented my knowledge that I've learned through osmosis; now I'm saying more of the technical terms when I'm speaking to my co-workers. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to level up their basics.

Thanks for the teacher's great instruction, I missed the first time to catch up the pace, but this second time try was finally completed.

It's quite interactive, feels like I'm sitting in the same room with the instructor, thanks greatly again and wish to learn more lessons soon.

I am really thankful to this course. The way it is created i never lost my interest in study & it was easy to understand. I tried learning python few times before from the several PDFs available online & lost interest within few hours. Thank you Charles for those lecture videos.

I already tried different courses on Python and they all were not really good or were tending in a direction that is not interesting for me. In this course it is not like that: I found it to be very informing and well structured. I learned a lot and will keep on learning Python!

Great course, made python learning challenging, but absolutely not terrifying. The assignments I felt were enough, nd look forward to trying out the capstone project when i have the available funds. Thank you so much Charles Severance for the intuitive and fun lectures and book.

I just finished the Programming for Everybody (Getting Started with Python) course. The way Dr. Chuck offers the course is a very appropriate way for you to complete it. I recommend taking that course before any other. Note: I will soon start the Python Data Structures course.

This is not only "getting started with python", it also will start from zero about programming.

Recommended for people who wants to start learning about programming. People already familiar who is looking to learn python might have an easier time and will be able to move faster.

The best of this course is actually the teacher, Charles knows how to keep his students entertained, laughing from time to time and of course learning each and every single session. He definitely makes Python look easy. Thank you so much for your effort, super enjoyable course!

This is a great course. Well taught and thorough. I love how much the instructor loves to teach and how he forms relationships with students across the globe. I also love how he has a very open personality and makes you feel like you can learn the content no matter who you are.

As an un-initiated person, I found this course very educative . It gives some crucial insights ( for example, the fact that " = " is dynamic and not static as in math, more like a left-facing arrow) which are key to dispel the "I don't get any of this" cloud in the beginning

Course was great Because the instructor was awesome. Dr. Chuck is just awesome and he taught everything very clearly and the great thing is that he assumed that everyone is a newbie. He explained everything in a simple manner and it gives you a strong foundation for programming

I loved it. The style of the instructor impressed me. For Beginner it is a superb course. For a guy who knows some about programmings (basically, have idea about another language, attempting python as a new language) it is best. I recommend this for an easy and effective start.

Dr. Chuck really made my first introduction to programming with Python enjoyable! The online format was great and provided the flexibility I needed. I would encourage anyone to take this course through Coursera who is looking to learn the foundations of programming with Python,

I had a rudimentary knowledge in coding before i started this course. but i must say the way the material is organized and how the quizzes are set is of nearly perfect difficulty level where you dont feel intimidated by the challenge of coding and don't find it too easy either.

I never thought Python Programming would be that easy for beginners. And I like each and every seminar given by Dr.Chunk, the quiz's and program's given for us to solve made me happy and attentive all the time. Thank you Programming for Everybody for this wonderful opportunity.

Dr. Chuck is really an interesting and erudite teacher, who totally impressed me that learning a new programming language can be so great and delightful. Hope I can keep digging until I am capable of more advanced skills. Can't wait to attend more classes of Dr. Chuck. Go blue!
