i highly recommend this course, and it is suitable for people of all ages. The lessons that taught by Professor Charles is really clear and explict, which is easy for students to follow! If you are a beginner in the programme, i must believe this course will help you a lot !

Dr. Chuck is "THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER", the way he explains things is just insane, he has cracked a way to say things which directly feeds in our brains and stays there. Amazing course, really enjoyed the first course, looking forward to completing the entire specialization.

I would like to thank Professor Severance for this wonderful Coursera course. I have learned a lot. I learned quite fast even though I have no background in programming because each lesson is well explained and taught. Looking forward to taking other Coursera courses by you.

Dr. Chuck uses Mac as a tool to edit and the form is a bit different from windows',

and I had some trouble right after downloaded python like I don't know where to active the file, how Atom work with python. It took me a few hours to figure out and after that it was all fine.

Starting this course is one of the beautiful things I've ever done in my life. The Simplicity and Practicality of this course cannot be overemphasized. Thanks to the Tutor, his patience is really appreciated. Planning on getting started with python? This is your best choice.

This is a very good course for the people who are new to programming and want to start off with Python. The teacher is very good and sure seems to be at the top of his field. The assignments may feel tough at the beginning but you will surely figure them out in a short time.

Moreover, It is offered by the University of Michigan and you got their stamp on certificate. You can share your Course Certificates in the Certifications section of your LinkedIn profile, on printed resumes, CVs, or other documents, It increases your Job Opportunity by 30%.

Its really a great opportunity for me to get this scholarship and I am taking full advantage now I can understand Python better than ever. I liked to get help and reach my goals turning every milestone coming in front of me.

Thank You Coursera

Thank You University of Michigan

Excellent course with an excellent approach to teaching the fundamentals of writing programs with Python. I can see the skills I picked up in this course being generally useful towards any language or programming paradigm. Thank you Dr. Chuck! I'm totally buying your book.

I learnt how to write c, c++, VB and VBA and the most part of this course looks familiar to me. However, still this course is very good and friendly for beginners. Also, refreshing the very fundamental knowledge of programs palys a crucial role to my programming career also.

This course starts out very well with extensive background information about the instructor, his history and books that he has written and explanations about computers, peripherals and software. This is all laid out so that the information is easily digestible by the layman.

Have a good experience .Long time i didn't work with any programming language ,So i decided to make some refreshments and also , I want a little knowledge that can help me to use this language and to improve my skills and proficients such as a data analyst or data scientist

Before taking this course, I've never tried any coding and I don't even know if I'll be able to continue this. However, the teaching style of Charles Severance is fun and interesting, I do like and enjoy the new field and learn a lot from the course. Good job! Mr. Severance!

I have absolutely no programming experience, with minor reading I was able to write a few perl and shell scripts. But python, I have never even wrote a hello world program, the course was simple and straight forward, I enjoyed every piece of the material and the assignments.

If you're new to programming I strongly recommend this course. The recommended pace is perfect for beginners, but you're free to go ahead. Dr. Chuck is an amazing teacher, he really wants you to understand the concepts and gives you enough motivation to complete this course.

Really good course, even for those who already have a programming background.

This course teaches programming basics, quick and easy.

I completed the course within 2 weeks, and I had learned a lot.

I truly enjoyed watching the "Bonus videos" - really interesting and motivating.

Good course for beginners and newbies in python. The lecturer explains really clear and nice step by step with a good amount of understandable examples the concepts of python, the syntax and the basic functions and loops. I definetely will do the next course in the series.

I've already learned so much. The hardest part is getting used to online learning if your only previous experience has been in person, but the so far everyone I've interacted with in Coursera and regarding this course have done everything to help you overcome that obstacle.

Very decent entry course into programming. It goes through the most used lines of codes in Python and I liked that each week had some exercises that bundled that week's material. I executed all the code that I observed during the lectures to develop some more muscle memory!

Really interesting introduction to Python, by Charles Severance Russell, focusing on the most important components of the language. Looking forward to other courses with the same format. Thank you so much Charles for explaining the course in detailed and clear understanding

Cool introduction to Python! videos are short and clear. Professor is nice and funny wearing a choosing hat from HarryPotter and filming blogs around the world with student. +interviews with Techpeople. assignments have deadlines; and are neither too easy nor too difficult.

This course is very useful for those who want to start learning programming. This course will help you get a basic idea of how to start your career with simple programs. I recommend this course for everyone. I am sure that you will regret if you won't choose this course.

Totalmente recomendable para no iniciados en programación. El profesor es muy didáctico y preocupado de que entiendas los conceptos fundamentales de la lógica de programación, más allá de la sintaxis del lenguaje propiamente tal, la cual se domina con práctica más que nada.

if you are an absolute beginner as me, please take this course. I completed the course in 2 weeks because is very easy to follow and to digest. The instructor is clear and the examples are explained from scratch. I have enrolled for the next course with the same instructor!

I already knew a bit of Python, but I was also missing a lot (standard issue for people who are self-taught). While I already had most of the basics, I got a lot from the lesson about loops and the None keyword (and, more importantly, about how they're supposed to be used).
