Great comfortable easy pace. I have done a few beginner online courses for Python, but this is the first one where I feel like I truly understand the basic concepts covered in the material.

I really enjoyed this course and learned a lot. The course material, all the slides and that hardware stuff was really awesome. Professor Chuck is really good at explaining python concepts.

This was my first course at Coursera. I made good decision to start this course and i am happy to continue my learning in the next python course by Dr. Chuck.

All in all, I can recommend :-)

Dr. Charles has been a great mentor in the entire journey of this course. I will recommend to my friends who are interested in learning python. And I wish to meet the instructor personally.

It is very basic for a rookie who wants to enter the Python world. Plus, the content and teacher both are very friendly. So it is a nice choice for people to take the first class on Python.

I very like this course. It's cover basics but assignment went me to think and it was great experience to code a little programs by myself. I completely sure that I'll go to the next class.

Good intro to Python and programming in general. I have a few years of JavaScript experience and was able to complete this course in 2-3 hours. Very good detailed explanations with visuals.

This course did a great job of presenting the basics on Python programming. I am looking forward to continuing the specialization, and learning more useful ways in which to code in Python.

The best course for the starters. A detailed explanation of the curriculum and the best explanation so far. The coolest part is the quizzes and the assignments with a deadline. I rate 5 /5.

This course is a great introduction to python. The instructor is awesome! He does not make learning programming in python intimidating for a 'newbie'. I've enjoyed learning python thus far.

It is a easy introduction to pythons. I think it is for the very beginner, who will not work as a programmer in the future. I attend this course because i want to use it in my study of law.

Had a really great learning experience, this course is a very good point to start for people who have no experience in programming, almost every concept is explained in detail from scratch.

Good course for beginners who has no experience in programming. An introduction to python and basic programming concepts. I think it is too easy for someone with a programming background.

I had zero experience and I wanted to break into programming in the worst way. This course not only made me feel like it was possible, but it also made me excited to continue learning. !!!!

Brilliant! Simplified and very easy to understand.

I sat through two semester of C++ lectures and learnt very little, but this short course taught me a lot of concepts and how to apply them.

Awesome class. Way better than the other intro programming courses I have seen. I feel like I'm actually learning something and I enjoy the class. (something difficult with online classes).
