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.

Good content, delivered understandably. I like having python installed on my machine. Another class uses jupyter notebooks online and you don't quite get a feel for how the code can interact with your own machine.

I am grateful for having such a humorous lecturer and a joyful journey about Python. I thought it would be difficult to learn as a computing beginner, however, in this course I have gained the courage to learn more.

Great way to introduce someone into Python from the start. As I have previous experience with Java, it was definitely a refresher to see how much simpler Python is compared to Java in terms of syntax and structures.

Great for absolute beginners to programming. The prof. makes it fun. People who already know a prog.language would be able to grasp the basic constructs and finish the course in an hour or so by skipping some parts.

Hands down the best MOOC course I've taken so far. Charles is not only extremely intelligent and creative when it comes to explaining the content of the course, but his sense of humor lightens the load of the class.

Had to make this course more than one time due to agenda conflict. However it is by far the best course for those who wants to start learning about programming.

If you are a beginner, this is where you want to start!

Its a very good start for someone who is scared of programming in general . This course lays all the fundamentals which are required in later stages of programming.

Thank you Charles Sir for your invaluable teaching

I really loved the way prof. Severance made python programming seem easy. I also loved the way he made learning a fun thing by talking about Hogwarts, etc. Besides, his modest and down to earth manner was Laudable.

As a beginner with no idea of Python, this course had it all, i.e., the fundamentals were explained brilliantly with practical exercises that made learning interesting and fun without taking away the core concepts.

The course is so much fun! But even though the beginning looks easy peasy, the end will define your success. Do not rush and enjoy!

I don't know, but Dr. Chuck's humor is very thin and he is a very great pedagogue!

Este curso te da las bases para conocer más de Python. He programado en otros lenguajes antes, pero por alguna razón sentía que Python no era amigables. Pero gracias al Dr Chuck veo que es el lenguaje más amigable.
