Very good introduction to basic programming. Very easy for beginners in python who have already some programming background - but still extremely useful to quickly and efficiently learn python basics.

Great introduction to Python and programming as a whole. Everything is broken down making it easy to understand. Had zero programming experience before and this class made it easy and fun to get into.

Really good stuff. I know some programming, so I really appreciated the way Dr Chuck pointed out the key things unique to Python and the slides that we'll be coming back to you. Very good balance of CS and what you need.

Very basic, but the class is Programming for Everybody so it should be. Should be accessible for most learners and the course assistants are great at helping in the discussion forum for those who need a little extra help.

Great going so far..! I love Dr. Chuck's teaching methods. Also I was really scared of how I'm going to learn pyhton. But this course has helped me learn all basics, now I can start learning advance version and work on it.

This is an excellent course for anyone new to programming. The course is taught at a good pace. It does not rush through essential concepts. The lecturer presents each concept and explains it completely with many examples.

This course is a very good complement to the textbook 'Python for Informatics'. This particular course covers Chapter 1 - 5 only. For the rest of the book, you'll need to follow the "Python for Everybody Specialization".

I really enjoyed this course, this was my first time learning proper programming and it was taught as well as it is possible to do online. I am really the fan of in-browser python simulator. Big thanks to people behind it.

Great course!

Clear and full of examples and helpful exercises. I didn't know anything about Python and now I feel like I can really do something with it. Going to take the next courses in this specialisation - for sure!!!

It was easy to understand and has just the exact amount of work load

I recomend it if you have never programmed before (like me), it explains everything in an easy way and give you the bassics to start working with Python

Muy buen curso para alguien como yo que apenas comienza a aprender a programar. Comunica las bases de una manera muy clara y facil de entender. Los ejercicios ayudan mucho a aterrizar los conceptos y ponerlos en práctica.
