Perfect for the people who are new to programming, every topic was explained in detail. A little bit slow for people already familiar with some programming language. Overall great python concept

This course is simply awesome. I come from commerce background and had no idea about coding at all. But, not even a single time I felt that I am not understanding it. The instructor is too good.

Love this course! It's easy to follow and there a little jokes here and there that make it interesting. I have some experience with Python so it was a lot of review but it was still interesting!

Excellent course, very well organized and explained. I had basic previous training in C++ in the Engineering grad but even for a student with no background I believe it would be easy to pick up.

Excellent way to start understanding the core concepts and syntax of Python. Doesn't delve too deeply into anything advanced, and is a perfect way to see if you'd be interested in further study.

Se explican los temas de una muy buena manera, me gusta que cuente con subtitulos para las personas que hablamos otro idioma, y la parte de los ejercicios me parecio muy interesante y educativa

Charles is really good at explaining Programming with basic examples related to our day-to-day lives. I really loved it when Charles compared Python to a dog and how a dog responds to keywords.

I was fascinated with the proffesor. He really wants every student in his class to learn, and explains so clear and concise. This is one of the best classes that I have taken in Coursera. 10/10

This course is an excellent option, but I must say that it will not give you all. It just gives you the simplest things, but for the assignments you need to study and look for more information.
