If you're interested in Python use this. He applies real-life problems to illustrate what he means and even includes mini problems that are simple, but challenging within the video.

Excellent introduction to Python (and - I think - to the principles of coding more generally) for the first-timer. The course is well-structured, clear and just challenging enough.

Charles Severance is one of the best teachers I've come across online. In this course he introduces python to beginners and demonstrates that programming is, in fact, for everybody.

It has been refreshing to learn the basics of programming and in such an easy manner. The way Dr.Chuck took us through the basics, it was really kind of easy to grasp the concepts.

Liked it a lot! Information is structured very clever, so you don't feel intimidated if you never learned programming before. Your knowledge gradually becomes stronger and stronger.

This is a great course! Very straightforward and easy to understand. It also greatly motivated me to explore more about computer science even though my intended major is psychology.

This is an excellent course overall. It goes into great detail, slowly and steadily, and covers each concept from several angles, until it becomes second nature. Highly recommended.
