Extremely basic but Dr. Chuck is so interesting that you never get bored. You can pass the course in a few days with minimum or even no programming knowledge. It's a good starting point for beginners.

Excellent Intro course. Always wanted to learn the language but I guess needed to find a best to do it online. So, I am taking advantage of spending more time and working from home, then, I am exchanging daily commute time for learning purposes. Good deal, right..?

This course gives you a head start to learn how to program Python in an easy and basic way.

If you don't know nothing about computers this is the best introductory course.

If you have some experience with computer but knows nothing about Python, this is also for you.

This course allows anyone to introduce to the principles of programming and the available tools that makes easier to code. Python itself as a Programming language is very readable and ideal for beginners or for non IT professionals who desire getting these skills.
