Very good introduction to basic programming. Very easy for beginners in python who have already some programming background - but still extremely useful to quickly and efficiently learn python basics.

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.

Great course for technical and non-technical individuals. As a veteran IT practitioner I find Python to be extremely logical in its structure and friendly to learn quickly.

Solid straight-forward approach and presentation. Making some things 'simple' that were not that simple when I first learned them. (Companion book terrific as well.) Thanks!

Dr Chuck is witty and detailed. Since I did had prior experience with python, the first part was more of a review for me but I highly recommend this course for any beginner.

It's a really good course if you are trying programming for the very first time. If you're trying to refresh your basics however, just the assignments should be good enough.

Great when starting the with the basics. Course goes at a nice steady pace and assumes no experience of programming. Charles is a great lecturer and makes it all seem easy

I thought that the course was really great and I learned quite a bit. The only criticism I have is that the jokes made by the prof. made me cringe but that's rather trivial.
