Amazing intro to programming class. I'm consulting with a tech startup and wanted to have better conversations with my developers. This is a great class to learn the "theory" of programming. I started taking an HTML, CSS and Javs Script class about half way through (chapter 4), because I need some piratical application. However, this course gave me the foundation. It's good to get error msgs!!! Looking forward to taking the rest of the series!

Outstanding introduction to Python programming language that will lay strong foundation to the more advanced topics about Python. The teaching style is superb and the things you learn stick in the long term memory really quickly. You need, however, to put additional effort on your side in order to truly "get" what's going on and learn and program as much as you can, as doing is really learning. Excellent, excellent course, teacher and the community.

Lo hare en español porque quizas a alguien le parezca mas comodo, realmente me encanta python aunque aveces me haga llorar jajaja, este curso esta muy bueno para quien este iniciando, lo hice mas que todo por la persona quien la dicta, realmente me motivo a empezar mi camino con este hermoso lenguaje llamado python y le sigo desde mis primeros pasos viendo su curso desde freecodecamp, muchas gracias a todos y recuerden seguir adelante y no rendirse

This is the best course ever, I have never enjoyed any course this much. I would like to thank Dr. Chuck for putting so much efforts to make students learn at their best. Everything about this course is so perfect , the assessments, the quiz which helps to brush up your skill. I have never been to complete any course yet, this was the first one, again Amazing content , and the most amazing instructor. Thankyou coursera, for bringing up this course.

I got this course in the financial aid. Trust me guys this is one of the finest and most structured course for python on internet. Though i have completed only 1st part of the course that is 1-5 chapters of the book PY4E but still i feel confident about writing python code for what i have learnt. If you take this course you will master the basics of python and gradually improve and be ready for placement. Thank you, i think that is enough for now.

his is a well-designed, well-taught course to learn about basics of python and control flow.Apart form engaging teaching and amazing content, I loved the Bonus videos(they were really insightful, made me surprised and motivated at the same time, to learn python and programming) and Dr. Chuck's goal behind teaching this course is really inspiring. It also gives a glimpse of how programs work under the

hood on the hardware viz. memory, CPU etc.

Excellent Course! This course really gives someone the foundation of python coding and gives yourself early confidence in learning this skill to continue to take on new challenges in working towards being an expert. You will not come away with building any major project from this class, but it will definitely give you the foundation in getting to build that next level of this skill. If you are an aggressive learner you can complete within 2 weeks.

Excellent beginner course! I had some previous coding experience, so some of the in-depth explanations were kind of redundant for me, but I thought they were excellent, especially for anyone with no coding experience. And I learned a lot about some of the Python syntax and how it differs from other languages. The problems were interesting and fun, and challenging. I do wish we could run the code in something other than the command prompt, though.

Just excellent, a really good professor, you can notice that he loves what he does, and that it´s the best way to do things, I will try to do all courses of Python from University of Michigan for sure. Thank you so much for this experience Professor. The only problem with this course is that it is my first one in coursera and It set the bar too high. Best regards to Charles Severance if you reads this, and again thank you so much for teaching us.

As the course says, programming here is for everybody! Even a person with zero programming knowledge can easily crack this up. It is a very user friendly learning tool. One can easily finish the course with so much flexibility and adaptiveness. The course is really qualitative and suits a developing programmer who's needs are simple. I am completely satisfied with the course as it met my goal which was to learn the first step of coding in python.

This is the perfect course for someone who is a beginner. I understood the logic and made it simple to remember how to program. The instructor and lessons are understandable and fun to learn and I can say I actually learned how to program. I came from zero python knowledge and was very pleased with what I acquired over this course. Additionally, the professor is very personable and about the course material and the delivery method. Thank you

Rating 5 stars for teaching style. When you are largely unfamiliar with programming it is important to not skip silly steps in explanation that might seem obvious. The information was very compact with made it easily digestible and encouraging to continue to the next level. The exercises increased nicely in complexity without sudden jumps in knowledge so that it would not give the impression that you are stuck forever in the pit hole of doom ;-)

This course is just amazing.

It help me start learning Python and also help to improve my English.

The professor is excellent and also very funny,i like him.

Course material is the reason that i choose the course.This course has a chinese subtitle,and also has a PDF version of the book(which also has translated into chinese),it's so good.

I will take the following course as well,and i think it will also help me a lot.

I'm looking forword to it.

Best for: Casual learners on a budget who are looking to learn new skills. With The Great Courses, there’s no minimum subscription and you get unlimited access to only what you pay for. Overall: The Great Courses is a flexible platform that allows you to learn on your own terms in your own time.Compared to other platforms, The Great Courses has online and offline options and is compatible with over devices like Roku, Kindle Fire, and even DVD.

I think that the course was very good. If you are a beginner and want to choose the right way to learn Python, this course is a good option, but in order to establish a strong foundation, you must continue to apply what you learn in the course. I think it would have been better if the course had included more exercises, not for evaluation but only training exercises.

Many thanks to everyone who worked hard to produce this educational material.

Easy to understand and follow along. Having the lecture's typed out helped a lot with taking notes and going back over information that was mentioned and if something was mentioned quickly but you did not quite catch. Allowed to take your time and give your the resource to understand the material. Great instructor that clearly explained the material as well as gave easy examples for first time programmers to better understand what is going on.

This is an excellent course for a beginner with no coding background like myself. After contemplating on which course to start on learning programming, I am so glad I took this one. This course built up my confidence in taking the challenge to learn something totally new! Lectures were engaging, study materials were adequate, reading the free online book before watching lecture videos really helped too. Thank you Prof. Chuck, you are awesome!

I'm Japanese.This is my second online lecture and I enjoyed it. For people who has some programming experience in other programming language like me, maybe this lecture seems a little boring and prolix.But if you hadn't write python,you want to study python,you don't want to overlook fundamental python syntax and you need experience of lecture by English teacher without your mother language subscript,this lecture will be good for your future.

Hello There! I am a PHP web application developer and I am highly interested to make myself a good programmer. Recently I am to learn OpenERP Software which is created using Python. I found this course very useful to enrich my skill in programming concept and learning Python. I am very happy to find this course via one of my friends. I am so excited. This is really a great opportunity to learn. Thanks much for your effort dear management! :-)

The course is useful for anyone from any background who wants to learn the fundamentals of programming and begin programming in Python. The content is simple to understand, and the assignments are simple to complete. The variety of videos and interviews is also intriguing, providing an exciting insight into the founders' and experts' perspectives on what we are learning. If you want to get started with Python, I highly recommend this course.

Dr. Chuck certainly has made a difference for me. His approach to teaching this class was natural, didn't even feel like an on-line course, and he certainly knows how to break the subject down into manageable bits. The quiz you get after a chapter is neither too simple nor too hard to grasp, just the right level of complexity to stimulate your thinking and thought process. Very well made, and I highly recommend it to anyone who's interested.

The Python course I completed proved invaluable for my professional journey. It provided a comprehensive understanding of Python programming, covering fundamental concepts and advanced topics like data analysis and visualization. The hands-on approach, practical examples, and interactive assignments enhanced my skills and confidence. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to boost their Python proficiency for professional success.

This course is very helpful and anyone can do this, as its name says Programming for Everybody, a person who has not done any programming before can also do this course. It will clear your basics and will make it stronger. It will cover all the basic concepts with examples and assignments. And Dr. Chuck is a very good mentor. I can assure you that you will not only learn from this course but you will also enjoy doing this course. Thank you.

I learnt lot of things from here, i never used language before this course, because of my background is based on networking, i never think about that i can use language, Learning Python is very interesting, when you have such a nice Instructor like sir in "Programming for Everybody ".

Well I'm very much thankful to Coursera team to provide such nice platform, I will used these skills to my studies projects also.

Thanks,

Sadam Hussain Channa.

it's a perfect programming course for those who has absolutely no idea of computer science. take me as an example: i'm an Art students, I major in business, I always thought CS is boring and much complicated (beyond my understanding ability), however, this course gives me confidence, and more importantly, I would like to learn further! Thank you Dr.Charles, wish you could come to Shanghai someday maybe, and I can join your office hour time.
