I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is new to Python. The professor is very good at intuitively explaining how Python works. You just ease into Python for the first 3 weeks. If you are skilled with another programming language, you can complete this course in 2-3 weeks. Also, the first 3 weeks might seem a bit easy for you.

Excellent course for beginners and it helps me to understand the fundamental blocks for python programming very easily. The instructor is very encouraging and he is enriched with knowledge about the subject. Thank you coursera for this wonderful start-up for python. I highly recommend this course for beginners of python programming languages

I enjoyed the easy and casual way with which Professor Charles Severance explains the different aspects of Python. I also enjoyed the fun videos at the end of each lesson where he interviewed interesting people related to our topic, and showed "office hours" from different parts of the world. Made the online class feel very real and personal.

Je suis fier d'avoir mis la main à la pâte pour aborder et finir ce cours avec mon anglais moyen. La nécessité d'avoir une traduction en français pour la compréhension de certains concepts.

Le cours état intéressant dans l'approche global pour un débutant comme moi

Merci au professeur pour son enthousiasme et sa pédagogie. Thank you so much !

if you are thinking and wondering whether learning a programming language like Python is for you, think no more. This first course took me step by step in learning the very basic of Python and I got more confident in learning this and I am taking the second course. The lecture is super friendly and fun and he is very down-to-earth. Kudos C.S!

Very useful introduction to python. Charles has a very didactic and dedicated approach to his explanations, and although sometimes it gets a bit repetitve, it actually really helps to let it sink in slowly, as you will really remember the explanation that works best for you. The exercises and tests are concrete and really test your knowledge.

Everything about this course is exceptional. As a beginner, programming to me felt daunting and too complex. Yet this course has shown me just how easy it is for one to learn to code using python. Everything from the assignments to the lectures are done perfectly and you never feel lost. Why are you still reading this? START THE COURSE!!!!!!!

First time taking a programming course. I was able to understand the basic concepts of python codding and I am looking forward to the next course Python Data Structures. I hope to get a better understanding on how to apply python to real world situations when I conclude all the courses available.

I am very excited. Thanks Prof Chuck and CTA's.

Absolutely delighted and feeling elated after having gone through py4e. Dr. Chuck was just awesome. I havent gone through an online course in such a fast manner as this one. He is just incredibly doing justice by teaching us py4e from the scratch without any programming background. Would definitely recomment it to the beginners just like me.

great teaching skill

although i have knowledge of programming language but the way sir explain its amazaing.

now i have more understanding how computer communicate with human

and sir your traceback concept i really helpful for me (personally)

and thank you very much sir for sharing your experience and way of thinkink if any thing wrong happend

This is the best course I have enrolled so far. The way he teaches is different, he encourages you to participate, put efforts, and see things differently. Furthermore, this course is more practical. In addition to this, the extra work is quite interesting i mean the office and the talks with the producers of different software and hardware.

This course was absolutely incredible! I loved the enthusiastic teacher, Charles Russell Severance and his funny way of teaching. I loved the material that he taught and how he taught it, and I think the entire 5 courses would be worth it for anyone who wishes to know a beginning programming language that could be used as a professional one!

Beginner-friendly and suitable for all who are interested in and willing to learn about programming without any prior experience. Concepts are demonstrated clearly with vivid explanations. Strongly impressed by the enthusiasm and love for his career of Prof. Charles Severance. Glad that we can go along the very first tour to Python with him.

Never thought learning python would seem so fun and easy. It is all because of how professionally this course was designed and of course the way Dr.Chuck explained every little thing in detail so that we don't miss out on any important concept. I will definitely recommend this course to my friends and colleagues interested in learning python

The instructor is amasing.. even though I have previous knowledge of programming, his way of explaining things and trying to explain the way that the program works is amasing. he is relating the way Python works with our way of thinking and that way helping us understand better how to think as a programmer.. definitely HIGHLY recommend... :)

I have a little experience from a couple of college classes programming in java and MATLAB. This course was a good, straightforward introduction to python. For those familiar with the general structures of programming (conditional statements, loops, etc.) , this course will be easy and go quickly - you may be able to finish in a week or two.

This is a fairly easy course to follow especially for someone who is trying to learn a programming language for the first time. Dr. Severance's lectures are very engaging to watch and I recommend trying out the codes that he will show you during the lectures. It will help you a lot in answering Assignment questions. Thank you Dr. Severance.

Very simple and easy to understand! Even though I had some previous knowledge of Python, Dr. Severance taught me new ways to approach problem-solving in Python, and made me enjoy myself while doing it! I 100% recommend this to anybody who wishes to get a firm grasp of programming. Regardless of your age or abilities, this course is for you.

It was a very beneficial course for me, a person hates software but meanwhile trying to learn them :) The instructor was able to take your attention to relevant and necessary topics with not just teaching you but also chatting and laughing you. I offer my personal thanks to Charles Russell Severance and I would like to be a student of him.

Charles Severance is AMAZING. I'm a complete beginner and this course really has sparked an interest in Python, I've taken many other courses and basically failed to get excited to continue learning and that was not the case with this course. Take this if you are just starting out and really need someone to break it down to simple terms.

I thoroughly enjoyed Professor Charles Severance and his Python course. With no prior coding experience, I was able to complete this course and earn the certificate. I hope to continue learning Python by taking the second part of this series in the future. I especially enjoyed the combination of videos and textbook materials for learning.

A Great beginner course! Thank Coursera and Dr. Chuck for offering such a convenient learning platform and great lectures!

Each quiz and assignment is so essential to build up the knowledge. Wish Dr. Chuck could offer a couple of optional assignment by each study week as some bonus so we could practice a little more!

Once again, thank you!

I was looking for an online course where you could get to know things like you would do in a classroom session, to my surprise coursera provided the same experience as I was looking for. It was in depth and Mr. Charles is a gem! He really wants everyone to learn. I hope more people take this course and kick start with heir career in Python.

I used to program back in high school in C++, but as the time passed, I forgot a lot of things and this course helped me recall basic logic and functions of programming. I'm a marine biologist now, and I am interested in using various programs for modelling and data analysis, and I feel I am on the right track learning the Python language.

This course is the first course I finish in Coursera, its so amaizing that I have great fun in this course and finish it in threedays.While, I may suggest my friends who will take this course in the future to learn this course with a more detailed textbook along with the Python for Informatics. Thanks, Dr.Severance and the teaching stuff.
