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.

It was an awesome course , the instructor was very good at explaining it in a (hogward) like way .It was fun, i feel like anyone who doesn't have prior knowledge on programming can learn it with ease.

I already know a few programming languages and started this course because I always wanted to learn Python. It's been really easy for me. But i see why he made it so easy. You seriously can become a Programmer even if you never coded in your life with this course. I wish i had this when i started out.

Uma vez que o curso não foi pago foi uma ótima introdução ao Python e tenho certeza que com os próximos cursos ganharei um bom entendimento da linguagem. O professor é muito alto-astral o que me deixou mais engajado com o tema. O curso é tido para ser feito em 7 semanas mas em 6-7 horas você finaliza.

I loved this course. The instructor was so good at explaining concepts. I grasped everything immediately. The discussion forum was helpful when i got stuck at doing assignments. The overall experience was very nice. I would like to continue and gain a specialization in this course.

Thank you very much!

This is my first course in coursera. I never expect the teaching would be these much good. Thanks to the teacher. He's just mind blowingly fantasic. Also this is the best couse to startup with programming. Thank you coursera for such opportunity to learn such things. And also Thanks to the instructor.

The course was very well structured. I've coded in several other languages but I think even a beginner would benefit and learn from this course. If I've any issues it's just the final assignment is an almost a sudden exponential level of difficulty compared to the previous ones, but I'd be nitpicking.

I had a small experience of coding before this course, but found the structure very intuitive and the instructions clear. Prior to the course I didn't even know how (or where) to enter code on my Mac, I'm now able to write some simple code to execute a range of instructions. Really interesting course.

Easy to follow, and I have no experience with coding whatsoever! Got rid of my fear of programming and looking forward to continue with the next courses. The lectures are perfectly paced and Dr. Severance is a briliant teacher. Also thanks for the staff who helped me when I got stuck in one of the ass

I've taken a few introductory programming courses from different providers but i think this is the best one so far for people who are starting off. It lives up to the title "Programming for Everybody". Prof Severance makes it fun which I think is important in the beginning because programming is hard!

ES un excelente curso para quienes están iniciando en la programación o en el lenguaje python. Me gusto la forma tan didáctica de dictarse el curso y las plataformas que se usaron para utilizar el código python. Gracias por lo que me enseñaron y seguiré aprendiendo con animo, muchas gracias a ustedes.

I was so interested in learning programming especially python and i was not finding any platform to help, until i enrolled in this coursera course that gave me all the necessary information to start coding.Although, i got 100 on most of the assignments which proved that i am understanding very well.

I feel previliged to got the chance to learn python from coursera . The whole course is best suitable for working mother .This course not only provided me learning of pyton but also bosted my confidence in this language. Best thing about this course is ,it's material and type of quiz and assignment.

Charles Russell sir is an excellent teacher. Course content is organized properly from very basic to a intermediate level If you are novice we generally have question in our mind why this has happened or why this is happening, the course has all the answer. More power to you Charles Sir and Coursera

The lecturer is the most highlighted things is here. Everyone just think how to do the course but no one think how we help the student to better understand. But in this course the lecturer try every way to make the syllabus more funny with maximum understandable. That is the KEY POINT of this course.

The way this instructor teaches and explains everything makes it so much easier to learn and understand the logic behind every little thing in python. Honestly, I'd recommend anyone who wants to learn python to take this course in particular, especially if you have no prior experience in programming.

Great course for beginners and enthusiasts who want to learn programming skills.

The course is very easy to follow for those who have prior knowledge in programming.

Dr Chuck has delivered the content very well.The lectures are interesting and also keeps the viewers engaged by cracking jokes sometimes.

Very nicely designed course. I completed this course in a single day as I just want to review the concepts once but I can assure you that if you are a beginner, this course will definitely help you develop an interest in the programming. The energetic instructor made this course very enjoyable.Thanks

I loved this course so much! I learnt a great deal, and I was so excited about the content that I could not wait for the next video/assignment/reading. The concepts were well explained, the course material is great and I like the instructor. It definitely lived up to its name of Python for Everybody.

This is by far one of the easiest courses on Python for absolute beginners. The instructor starts from absolute scratch and build using basic examples and detailed explanations. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and hope to gain more and more understanding and practice on Python in this Specialization.

I am highly impressed by the Chuck's teaching methods. I was hesitant in the beginning since this is a programming language, but I was surprised how smoothly I am able to understand the concepts taught by him (I refer to the videos as well as the online book).Thank you so much Chuck, you are amazing!

The professor who teaches this course is extremely helpful, patient, and as a bonus is a total goofball. This made the course not only useful but also very enjoyable. I looked forward to doing the exercises each week, and I felt prepared to tackle them. I would highly recommend this course to anyone.

I highly recommend this course for absolute beginners like me in programming. I have a lot of experience in different fields in IT and i had zero knowledge in programming. Dr. Charls explains everything in this course in a very simple language and by having fun :). Tip: Speed 0.75. Thanks Chuck Albi

The first week's material seems like it'll be a lot to process, so I was a bit worried at that point, but the subsequent weeks really break down each little thing. Dr. Chuck is so good at explaining the material in an easy to understand way. I can't wait to continue with the 2nd part of this course.

Super good course for beginners. With some beginner python knowledge prior to starting the course, I was able to complete it and fully understand it within 5-6 hours. However, I still learned a lot of information from Charles and enjoyed the way he explained the main concepts for a general beginner.
