It has content, where it starts from basic of computing, from hardware analogy to understanding and writing program. It also has interviews of Guido and founder of Arduino as bonus content. So overall i recommend this course for people who want to learn python.

Very satisfied with the structure of the course. Although I am from a programming background hence could get hold of the basic topics quickly to finish the course in a week but highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn python and is new to programming.

Learning a new language is really difficult. Thanks to coursera and the instructor they made this course so easy that any one can understand the concept of the programming and complexity of it very easily.

Thank you coursera and special thanks to the instructor.

Suprising combination of easy threshold of entry for audience without programming experience and quickly growing complexity of tasks that will keep people with more experience interested. Nice sense of humor by Dr. Chuck as a pleasant bonus. Highly recommended.

Well structured course which makes it easy to learn the material and includes lots of exercises to test your understanding. Assignment solutions are thoroughly discussed which makes it easier to assess the efficiency of your own code compared to the professor.

very good course for beginners. The explanations and course materials are perfect. The language used in the book is easy to understand. New students, must try to read the book first and then listen to the professor. That will be easy to understand the content.

This course is well designed and easy to understant. I will recommend this course to beginners as well as intermediate users in programming who have an interest in learn Python irrespective of their main subjects (biological, physical sciences, commerce etc).

I'm very thankful to Dr.Chuk. He is a great teacher with awesome teaching skills. He became my one of the favourite teacher in my life though it's online course. I don't know any coding language, but now i can understand what ever he has taught. Thank you Sir.

I had a great time. I love to take more courses from coursera and University of Michigan. I had developed interest in taking online courses. The interviews (short talks) at the end of every week are so inspiring. It develops self-confidence in me. Thank you.

I really enjoyed this course. It helped me to bring back some knowledge and implement them. As human, we never stop learning, so these online tools help and motive me to keep progressing… Many thanks Mr. Charles… I would really like to keep up on leaning here…

I am so much happy that I am the part of the course .The teaching technique is so so amazing .A special thanks to Dr.Chunk for teaching in a interesting way.This course has helped me with all the basics of python. One of the top level courses I have ever done.

Before starting this course, I'm not sure whether I'm able to complete it or not but now I'm surprised as well as feeling accomplished.

And all the credits goes to the instructor. The experience from this class is cannot be expressed in words it's beyond that.

One of the finest courses I ever have done loved watching Dr. Chuck. This course starts with the basics of programming in python, with very well explained each and everything.

I will highly recommend this course to the one who is starting his/her programming.

Really well done, it was the first online registered course I followed and it exceeded my expectations. Ok I'm not really a beginner in coding but I wanted to restart from the basic because I never used Python. Simple direct and concise what I was looking for.

For anyone with no programming background and want to learn Python, this is a course just for you. Professor Chuck explains the concepts is such fluid manner that there will be no difficulty in comprehension.

Great course to begin your language-learning journey

Great introductory course in python. I had previously done some python but I wanted a solid foundation in the language before moving on to more data science specific courses using python and this Specialization is just what I was looking for. Onto course #2!

Anyone who wishes to start learning Python, look no further. The instructor is not monotonously boring, the videos are divided into small understandable chunks, and is perfect for people in hurry. This was by far the best experience I had in terms of learning.

This course help me to look python on different perspective. Dr. Chuck has good explanation about the course. If you want to get more from this course, you must start to take another exercise/case about python programming and he will tell you about the source.

Charles' enthusiasm really helps make the subject matter more interesting. The assignments begin easy and get more challenging towards the end which is great, it tests what you have learned throughout the course. Overall, it was a great introduction to Python.

excelente para iniciantes! uma linguagem clara e simples. É o inglês da linguagem de computação, todo mundo deveria saber! uma atualização e tanto para mim aos 61 anos de idade! Espero utilizar python na minha carreira de análise de dados em sistemas de saúde!

Great course for those who know zero programming, or for those (like me) that have not programmed in a while. The professor really goes out of his way to explain concepts and gives context on the history of programming and why things are done the way they are.

It was good and clear! If you are going to take it, I strongly recommend to dedicate time to it and also read the extra materials as much as you can, since it helps to a better understanding. The only thing is that I wish there were more exercises to practice.

A good introductory course for absolute beginners. Students having prior programming experience in any other language will find the contents to be too basic. The syntax will be the only new thing that experienced programmers will get to learn from this course.

Professor Charles is a great professor and he knows his stuff and very enthusiastic and humorous sometimes. Thanks to this class there were new paths for me to journey on, coding is fun. I included in my resume and that was a plus for my current job. Thank you

My sincere gratitude to Mr Charles Severance, he has been such a captivating teacher that I could not resist myself completing the course in a couple of days, more than a month before the schedule. You made learning to code a fun packed activity. A BIG THANKS!
