Very beginner-oriented, but still gives a good overview of the basics in Python. Reasonable weekly time commitment and also good balance with some non-technical information like the story of the Python creator in (optional) videos.

Programming for Everybody (Getting Started with Python).This kind of open class gives me a preliminary understanding of python programming language, and I believe it will provide great opportunities and help for my future study .

I have been trying to get started with Python for a long time now. Thanks a lot for a well paced course for learning the fundamentals of python programming in a very digestible format. Can't wait to complete the rest of the course.

As a computer student i found this course very easy to learn and very welcoming towards non computer student. The instructor was also very friendly and funny at times and this has made me continue on the second part of this course.

Fantastic course.

I was a complete beginner and learned so much.

Would 100% recommend if you want to learn more about Python and are interested in programming.

Dr. Chuck (instructor) is wonderful and is very good at explaining topics.

I liked the course thought by the friendly professor.The course is definetely suggestable to those who want to acquire the basic python programming skills.I am happy that I can solve problems myself without any assistance.Thankyou

If you are beginner and have no knowledge about programming , then this course is for you . Easy to understand , fun way to learn . What are you waiting for do get started with python for everybody.

I'm very happy with this course.

Siempre fue difícil para mi entender la programación. Con "Programming for Everybody (Getting Started with Python) " Todo cambió, no solo aprendí lo básico sino que estoy haciendo mis programas para mi día a día. Lo recomiendo 100%

Programming for Everybody(getting started with python) is a wonderful course which beginners can take-up and get their basics in python. This is a part of specialization course and hence this can be used for further specialization.

I find this course to be an excellent introduction to python. The examples and metaphors used by Dr.Chuck are lucid and easy to understand. I find Dr.Chucks passion and encouragement served as a motivation to complete this course !

This course is very use full for people that doesn't have programming or technical background to start learn Python and help to understand how the computer logic run also for programmer that start to use Python from beginner level.

Excellent class! I had some on the job exposure to programming with SAS and SQL, but this was my first formal class. It really helped me understand what I am doing, and I learned new things as well. The instructor is very engaging.

Hello Charles,

Thank you very much, I personally admire the way you teach the lesson with fun and all the other efforts you put in the course. I learned a lot and now I remembered each and everything I learned during C programming.

Very good for the beginners, since I knew Java little bit it was an added advantage for doing exercises. But overall professor made it really easy to understand this course. I will strongly recommend it to start with Python basics.

From someone who didn't know much, this seems like a fairly good way to get started, the self pacing aspect is ideal. I will try to come back and rate this when I know more, and have a better understanding of where this is leading.

Excellent first course. I was able to understand the lectures, supplement my knowledge with the text book, and reinforce with exercises and quizzes.

I like that a number of topics were introduced without exhausting one at a time.

It was quite an interesting course covering mainly the book as referenced and while beginners can get hold of it too, programmers porting from different coding platforms can also catch up easily with python as taught in this course

My very first MOOC, and it totally got me hooked. The teacher is really good at explaining key concepts and the book is very useful and educational. Definitely will keep on going with the rest of the courses on this specialization.

Great course to get then basic picture of what programming is about. With this course and the book "Python for Informatics" I've learned the basics of Python very quickly and without much pain. Thanks dr. Chuck, you're the best! :)

This course was an extremely helpful introduction to programming. I have no background in this area but I found the pace and material appropriate for my level. I would encourage anyone interested in Python to enroll in this course.

A very well-structured course, aimed at those without prior programming experience. Dr. Chuck takes the time and proper care to explain all the basic concepts thoroughly. This serves as a great way to get your feet wet with Python!

I highly recommend this programming course for beginners. It's comprehensive, well-structured, and approachable. The course content is straightforward, and it places a strong emphasis on building a solid foundation in programming.

Well-structured course for beginners. As an Intermediate Python Programmer, I really enjoyed myself reviewing Python basis again. Thanks also to Dr. Chuck (Doctor Charles Severance) for the great explanations and teaching passion.

Great course for beginners! I started as a complete beginner and now I have some basic knowledge of Python language. I'll complete the specialization.

I really love how Dr.Chuck teaches. It's fun and interesting.

Thank you so much!

Well structured course for beginners in this area, I didn´t know to much about the programming world but this opened up my eyes and showed me the possibilities that there are and how much value can we create for this modern world.
