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.

Excellent, although, even without having any programming experience except some Visual Basic at school about ten years ago, in my opinion the course could have bee more difficult and the pace quicker.

Amazing course, I have learnt a lot, and I am looking forward to doing more of this university's courses! Great videos and readers, many exercises from which I've learnt so much, more so than in other courses I've taken before. Thanks for everything.

Feeling very confident after learning in this class. Amazing explanation, examples, quizzes and the most important thing is the content is too good and is of high graded/ quality. The professors are so favorable to us. Never felt bored and much more.

Very well explained as well as elaborated by the professor. His teaching methods are quite good such that even someone with no prior experience of coding(in any language) can interpret as well as understand. Solid 9.8/10 course. Highly recommended!!

A good course to all those people who wants to learn the python programming from scratch. It has the basic knowledge one should learn before jumping into the actual programming. And yes, felt really happy to see Guido Van Rossum for the first time :)

Awesome lecture and resource materials provided in this course. I would happily recommend Charle's p4e course to anyone looking to gain more knowledge in this space. Additionally, this was my first Coursera experience and I must say it was fantastic!

I really enjoyed this course a lot. Dr. Chuck is excellent at teaching and making programming interesting. I had tried learning python before from various other sources but I used to later get bored and quit. This course however was very interesting.

Learned a lot within a week! Really good teacher that explains the course well. The start can be a bit slow as it has a lot of theory, however it is well worth it and enhances your understanding of python. Will definitely continue the specialization.

This is an excellent beginner's resource. And I'd just like to say thank you to Prof. Charles Severance for providing this course. These free resources for the sake of passing on knowledge are so crucial in making programming available to everybody.

Awesome course for beginners, any one from non computing background also can enroll to this course and start learning Python programming.

Dr Charles makes programming with Python real fun and easy.

This the coolest course in Coursera coz of Dr Charles.

Prof Chuck is one of the funniest professor I've ever heard. Good sense of humor paired with high experiences in teaching, excellent teaching materials (perfect difficulty for the quizzes and assignment). I would like to be such a good lecturer once!

I have been out of College for 10 years and had a little experience with C, C++, and Visual Basic so this course really helped me dust off the cobwebs of coding in general and start done the path of learning Python. Definitely Recommend this Course.

The course has increased my interest in coding. As the name suggests, it is suitable for everyone. Therefore, I will recommend it to my friends at work. I would like to express my gratitude to the instructor who made me understand the course easily.

Charles es sencillamente el modelo de profesor que todos deberian seguir. Un tipo como un amor palpable por lo que hace,que abarca de manera brillante y en muy poco tiempo los conceptos basicos y nociones del lenguaje en cuestion. Gracias Charles!!!

It has been an amazing experience learning from the great professor severance. This is only the start of the courses that I'm going to take to improve my skills in computer science and hopefully land a good job in this field. May God bless Coursera.

On point!!

Easy to understand & the workshops are great.

For a beginner like me who had no experience in Python, this course fulfills my expectations & increases the level of curiosity after each session.

was able to complete this course successfully .
