This is the most wonderful programming course I've ever had! The first time I was told how to think in order to use all these wonderful things: while, for, None, try.

Thank You!

Great, instructional videos. The exercises are difficult but it really encourages/forces you to ensure that you understand the material, rather than regurgitating the lectures.

Loved having Dr. Chuck teach this course!

His approach and explanations are easy to follow as a beginner, yet also challenging enough that I feel I got a lot out of this course.

Good introduction for non-technical folks.

I have experience with a few languages, and it was nice to see it walk me through the syntax with progressively challenging exercises.

Really good for someone who knows about programming, but not in python. The pace is pleasant, it is better than a book, as you hear how the jargon is used. Highly recommend it.

Really well-designed course. The best thing about this course is that it focuses more on computer science or programming skill-building rather than the Python language itself.
