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.

This is an awesome course with great details to basics. The details are explained in very simple way and it is very easy to understand and follow. Even though I am on Coursera from 2013, this is the first course that I completed 100%. So kudos to prof. Severance and the team for awesome content and helping me in completing this course.

I had a great time learning the basics of python programming. Sir Charles Severance teaching style is excellent and he explains the concepts very clearly. I enjoyed every lecture presented by him. I will definitely recommend people to learn python from this course. I will continue to learn the advance python from Sir Charles Severance.

Great course for beginners! Learn about basic programming principles, how computers actually run programs and how to think like a programmer. The instructor is very engaging and makes the class fun. Sometimes they throw in extra videos featuring relevant interviews by people in the tech field, which is a nice touch. Highly recommended!

I took this class in preparation for my Master's program in Business Analytics. I appreciate how it starts from the basics and goes through installing Python, best practices when writing programs, etc. I find the getting started part of programming can be intimidating, but this made it much easier to start (and hopefully stick with!).

For a one-directional learning, Charles did a great job keeping my engage. The discussion/forum is very active which is perfect for my learning when I have problems. I have tried learning python from different channels and this is by far the best. Thank you so much. I really feel that I learned a lot and motivate to continue learning!

I was familiar with python before this course and wanted to touch up on it. I found myself leaning new information that I didn't know before, and finding new ways to think about programming. Professor Severance is entertaining and motivates me to learn more. Great course, I would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn how to program.

All those who had given 1 or 2 stars to this course,are the ones who always criticize everyone.This course is seriously quite amazing and everyone thinking of starting with python should go for it.DO NOT FALL FOR THOSE NEGATIVE COMMENTS AND REVIEWS. The instructor is very good and explains everything so beautifully. Hope this helps :)

The course is very well structured to suit the needs of a new programmer (me) who is trying to learn python from the very scratch. Prof Charles keeps the video lectures engaging and the assignments help get a grip on how to actually put them those learnings in a code. Would recommend to anyone who wants to learn python from the basics

This course is excelent, i learned a lot and will continue to navigate through the whole program.
Thanks to everybody who made it, and made it free access as well. Your work is much appreciated!
I'll try to help with the translation to spanish so other people in South America can do it as well.
Thank you again from Argentina! Much love!

The Teaching technique adopted by the Trainer was extremely helpful in adapting and absorbing the new programming language. The day to day and simple examples adapted in the said program to explain the new language really proved the name of the course-"PROGRAMMING FOR EVERYBODY ". It was an amazing introduction to the WORLD OF PYTHON.

This course is every useful and easy to understand for beginners. I really have no idea what python and any other programming languages are before I started this course. Also English is not my first language. However I could understand this course very well, the practices in this course are very effective! Thanks a lot for helping me!

The best course for everyone even those who lack background in programming like myself. I recommend everyone to take this course. In today's world it feels like you are walking naked without knowing how to code even basic programming. That was internal thrust for me to do this course.
Go for it, it worth your time and money. Thanks !

This was an excellent course. Dr. Chuck is engaging, clear, and moves at a perfect pace. The course has helpful assignments, quizzes that actually assess comprehension, and plenty of opportunities for practice. As a 24-year-old who has never done any coding before, I cannot recommend this class highly enough. Truly a great experience.

This course has helped me a lot in having the correct understanding of programming language. The mode of teaching is not only erudite but also simplified for a non computer science student which doesn't have any background in programming. At the end of this course one can have the necessary skills and logic to think like a programmer.

I would like to register here that Dr.chuck is the man, i would ever refer to any one who needs to learn Python programming. He is efficient, knowledgeable and friendly, and regarding the course material, i do not know, if it can be any better.
I am glad to continue with python for everybody specialization.
Happy learning!
God bless you!

I am really glad to take up this course, which helped me to understand the Python language. I am not a programmer before but found it not so hard to understand the concepts, so I would highly recommend starters to go through this course as the instructor teaches every topic interestingly in a fun way to learn and grasp things quickly.

The pace of this course & the course content, along with the Creative Commons material is fabulous for anyone who has no prior experience in programming. Prof. Severance is great at what he does, and the assignments are also brilliant. I wished there were more peer review assignments or more assignments so that we could practice more.

Dr. Chuck is now my favourite professor on an online learning platform. His way is teaching is just awesome and he always focusses to teach the complicated topics in the easiest way possible. I really want to thank COURSERA for giving me this opportunities to learn some new technologies under the guidance of such a wonderful teacher.

I am very thankful to course tutor Dr. Chuck and University of Michigan for providing such a useful course. I have tried programming for first time and I can say that I too can creatively and confidently write useful codes, this is just because of teachings of Dr. Chuck. I will definitely enroll for further courses too, Thanks again!

I have heard from people that python is not easy. But this course has completely changed my perspective, because the instructor has made the programming language so easy, that it can be understood even by a person who never had learned any programming before. I look forward to complete all the 5 courses in this module. Thanks a lot .

It is a course for everybody if don't have any prior knowledge about programming even then Mr. Severance will make it very simple for you to understand the logic behind the code and also will help to understand the flow chart of code i.e how the code will starts and how it will work. One of the finest courses I have ever enrolled in.

A great base for first-time programmers. Users with experience in other languages might find this somewhat tedious and repetitive at certain points. Although, you can skip the repeated parts. As for Charles, the professor, I find him to be a great teacher. He's good at Python, he's good at teaching Python, and he clearly enjoys both.

It's a great course. I'm actually going to recommend it to at least five separate people. He was intelligent, highly structured/organized, and went over things multiple times to ensure implant/imprint. The quizzes and assignments would have been difficult, but not unbearable without prior coding experience. Overall, very good course.

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT COURSE ESPECIALLY DUE TO THE BEST GUIDANCE AND LUCID EXPLANATION BY DR. CHARLES SEVERENCE. HE GIVES TO THE POINT , SIMPLE YET EFFECTIVE EXPLANATION AND SOMETIMES BRINGS WHOLE HEARTED HUMOUR AND LAUGHTER WHICH MAKES YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO HIM ON AND ON. HE IS REALLY ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS I HAVE EVER ATTENDED.
