Great materials and practical examples which guide you step by step through the basics of Python.

However, this introductory course is also universal, shows language structures and logic which is used in many other programming languages.

Great introduction to programmng and Phython, I never wrote code before, now I want to enroll in the specialization and learn much more! It could be improved with aditional practical excersises, or externl sources on where to find some.

Before taking this class, all I know about python is 'P-Y-T-H-O-N'. After taking this class, I can say that,'i can able to write some little programs using python'. I want to thank the instructor for this course and he is good teacher.

Dr Chuck is a good teacher. If you are a beginner to programming and want to learn python then go for this course with closed eyes. For a veteran it may seems to be slow paced but its good to build up the foundation. Happy Programming.

I'd recommend this course because it's really easy and shows you that coding isn't as daunting as it seems to be. I would also recommend completing this in a hurry and moving on to the rest of the courses offered in the specialization.
