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.

The instructor was very helpful. The material made a lot of sense after he explained it. The course was much better than other online ones I've done where you just type commands with little explanation.

The classes were great - very informative. The discussion forums was my favorite - I was able to get live help on the hw assignments from classmates and mentors. Thank you for a great learning experience!

Pretty awesome course to do as a Python beginner. Being a computer science undergraduate myself felt that this course can be taken up without having any prior knowledge to programming. Go house Slytherin!

I would recommend this course to non-programmers and junior programmers too. The material is explained in a very simple manner and the additional weekly interviews are very inspirational and motivational.

Great introduction. Dr Chuck covers the critical pieces without throwing everything at you. Highly recommend it for people learning from square one or just wanting add another language to their toolkit.

Great instructor full of energy, didn't know anything about Python before this, now i am sure i can create some mini-tools on my own! I'd urge anyone at any age or background to try and take this course.

I already program with Python. However, I took this course to learn how to teach Python to little kids since it is one of the most popular programming courses out there. I definitely wasn't disappointed.

I had some background knowledge, so I thought I could complete it in less time, but I spent a lot of time completing the final task. Thanks to this task, I was able to learn a lot about Python.

Thank you.

Great for someone who has learned programming before, but not specifically python, but also great for a novice programmer. Well paced, and quick to the point of how programming works in this environment.
