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.

Loved this course, Prof Chuck leads you through the course in his own style.

I found the jump from understanding what he was talking about to the last assignment a little steep, but I got there.

Thank you!

Charles Severance provides easy-to-follow explanations and really takes his time to explain every step of the code. After taking other courses in this platform, I can say that this course is top quality.

Really appreciated. Although the beginnings were quite slow and professor was getting to the point quite slowly (what's CPU, what's memory,...) then the course got the right pace and I really enjoyed it!

Before I took this course I was fallowing some tutorials online. But after taking this course I have realized that this course really helped me to understand computer programming language(Python) better.

Excellent course! I tried learning Python from manuals at my own page but the books never quite explained it so I could understand. Taking this course held me accountable. I highly recommend this class!

One of the best courses on the internet which will teach you the basics of Python language. The way the instructor teaches is outstanding. The basics taught will help in other programming languages also.

Thanks to this course I got a knowladge about the Python language, which could be complicated, but it wasn't. Explained step by step, by Dr. Chuck. Nothing is missing, on this course. Highly recommended.

A perfectly designed course for someone willing to learn to python with no prior programming experience or expertise. Would love to have the solutions of the assignments after having completed the course

Everything great but the autograder for the homeworks, it is really hard to debug your program there. It took me 1 month to complete a homework which ran smoothly on the real python programming language.

This course helped me understand Computer Science theory better. The pace is perfect for non-expert programmers. Charles Severance does not try to cram everything about a subject in one lesson or course.

I just finished a Getting Started with Python course and it's the best course I've taken so far. The explanation is clear and concise, and all points are carefully presented. I am truly grateful for it.
