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.

Helpful Course

I love this course and thank Dr. Severance giving us beginners this useful course. I can follow the steps and make sense to me who have no programming background at all. Highly recommend.

Excellent if you have zero starting knowledge of Python. Even a basic understanding will make some of the videos feel like they're too long. Excellent instructor makes course worth taking despite this.

It was very basic and professor used made it very easy and interesting. As a person who doesn't have any prior knowledge of programming i feel confident in python now and i want to learn more about it.

I strongly recommend those who are learning this course read the book written by the professor, it really helps a lot, only watch the video is not enough.

I'm eager to learn more about programming now!

The editor needs to be improved, the overall course is very well done, but i really struggled getting the editor to work in terms of indentation.

Would definitely recommend this course to fellow peers.

I think this course might be a little bit of easy to students who had programming experience before,but Doctor Severance is awesome in teaching, and it is a good choice to built foundation in python.

Engaging, fun, challenging for begginers and a cool refresh for people away from programming for quite some time. Chuck is the best teacher I came across and I would love to attend a class with him.

Excellent for beginners like me. Although, I do wish that there were more examples and explanations per topic, more exercises per topic, and more projects per topic to really drive home the material.

As someone who's been paranoid about programming, I would say Mr. Severance has just slam-dunked me with this course. I'm a bit optimistic about code writing and programming now !! Thanks Coursera :)
