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.

All I want to say it's not just python it has a lot more in it I never regret opting for coursera as it aims in building interest rather than just telling u bookish stuff

This course was a good primer to Python. The instruction was clear and the examples were thoroughly discussed. Most of the bonus content was a nice addition to the course.

It is easy to learn in under 3 days minimum. Bonus points if you have programming background. It is highly recommended for entry level programmers or aspiring programmers.
