I am a novice at programming. But Dr. Chuck is amazing. He made us understand some basics of Python programming in a simple way. So, I would suggest if you want to learn Python programming from zero, this course is for you.

Es un programa muy bueno para personas que no saben nada de programación y es un buen curso para desempolvar conocimiento para las personas que ya saben programar en otro lenguaje, definitivamente un buen lugar para empezar

This is the best programming for an absolute beginner. It is decently paced and teaches the core concepts with an ample number of examples and the instructor is really humorous. It was like a ride in the park, never boring.

Good introductory course for beginners to python programming. The instructor was very clear in his explanation. The coding assignments and quizzes were fun to do as well as it provides a good way to do some hands-on coding.

I have never attended any class related to programming and have also not learned Python before. But the way Dr.Chuck has taught Python through out the course it has incremented my zeal towards learning Python more and more.

The way, Dr. Chuck has formulated this course, is appeasingly interesting. I would suggest everyone out there, no matter the background, to give it a shot.

The only prerequisite here is your interest and excitement to learn!

loved this class. I liked the manner of the teacher, loose but everything said was important. The examples covered the concepts well and the textbook too. I loved that I was really programming and using real world examples.

Online Python was an excellent seven week course. Initially, I was nervous because I thought Python coding was going to very difficult, but the instructor made it so easy to learn and follow. I truly enjoyed the learning!

Great course. The textbook is available for free; the lectures are complete and well explained; Python and Atom are available to download for free; the material is relevant and the pace is good. I'm pleased with the course.

Very clear course; lots of material, and interesting interviews. I highly recommend it to people who never programmed before. People with even basic notions in Python might skim it and turn to more advanced courses, though.

Excellent instructor!. I have done Python at University about 5 years ago and did this just as a refresher. I completed tho whole course in about 2 hours. Not recommended for people with an existing basic python background.

you can do it at a 1.5x speed or you can do the assignment and quiz first. If you find anything you are not 100% sure, do go back and watch the video! It is a good way the check your knowledge set and fill your blind points

The Author/Our Lecturer is too good and has a very good sense of humour. This kind of lecture/class makes learning very interesting and in the same time gets imprinted in my mind in an effective manner. Thank you Charles :)

Super funny professor. Not dry or monotonous at all. Mainly talked about pretty basic stuff in this course. But he is really good at explaining things and giving examples. Will take the other courses in this specialization.

This is my second online class using Couresa and what I've liked (what has helped me) so far in this class have been the videos, I think I could have learned this on my own, but it's great listening to an actual instructor.

Quite fun, Dr Severance goes into good detail on the topic, his lectures are quite engaging, as he has filmed himself talking, so they are a lot more personal, and less "mind blowing" than some hardcore programming courses.

Professor Severence makes the class fun and interesting. The book is free and the material is chunked in a logical manner that makes it easy to follow along each week. Great pace for anyone who also has a full time job.

Incredible intro to Python! The professor is super relatable and walks you through every concept incredibly well, without assuming any prior knowledge. Don't look any further if you'd like to learn Python and know nothing.
