I loved it! Dr. Chuck is extraordinary in his explanations. A great way to start on Python programming. As a person that hasn't programmed in years it was an encouraging and educational experience :-)

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.

Charles Russell Severance is amazing teacher! Course is absolutely great for the beginner level: clear explanation, good examples, very efficient lessons, short and to the point.

So far this is the best program I have taken on-line. Thank you!

I loved how the course instructor took from 0 and made python seemed so easy to grab. Amazing work with the assignments and quiz, it does test the our knowledge well. In all, it was worth my time. Thank you Coursera for this service of yours.

Интересный курс "для самых маленьких в программировании". Классный профессор, с юмором и очень подробными объяснениями как всё работает. Единственное, хотелось бы более профессиональную среду разработки вроде Visual Studio с отладкой и прочим.

I wasn't new to programming but awful at it. I was new to the syntax of Python and took up the course to learn the language. But it was a fun course and I also improved my Fundamentals. Thanks to Professor Severance for the amazing experience,

This is a great course. The teacher not only knows his material, but has a lot of experience working with first time programmers and so knows what errors they are likely to make and what questions they are likely to ask and addresses them all.

Rather slow in the Introduction with technical stuffs on computer hardware and all, not quite related to programming skills, but in the end I picked up lessons quite nicely. This is my first-ever online course that I've successfully completed!

It was a great course overall.All the concepts are explained very well.It is recommended for beginners. The programming assignments are good for practice of all the concepts learnt.And also there are extra learning and practicing materials.

Outstanding course by Dr. Chuck, the name is truly accurate, anyone can learn Python. It's been a while since I wanted to learn a new skill within Programming, but for some reason the learning experience wasn't as clear and direct as this one.

This course made my day! before doing this course, programming was a horror to me. But now this course helped me to love programming. A very special thanks to Professor Charles Russell Severance without whom this journey wouldn't be possible.

Easy to follow. Charles seemed to have put a lot of thought into the pedagogy. Foundational elements are strung together in a logical, reinforcing order that aids the learning process. Looking forward to the next course in the specialization.

Excellent Intro to Python and programming in general. Professor Chuck take the time to explain in detail the ins and outs for how functions work, for example, rather than rushing through it. Invaluable instruction for any beginner!

Thank you!

Great content, especially for someone without coding background. Online lectures are very useful for learning at my own pace. And I can replay the videos whenever I need to. Great quizzes and assignments to make sure I have learnt the content.

This course is amazing!

If somebody is already familiar with a programming language it'll take just about a week to complete this course.

The instructor presents the course in very simple and clear language which makes understanding even better!

If you have a programming background (I have) then this course really simple. Some might say too simple, but for me it was useful to 'get back into the game'. Also, simple isn't necessarily a bad thing. I understood everything, and enjoyed it.

Covers the very basics of python. Even if you are new to programming (not only python), this course gets your simple programming knowledge right. Charles is one of the best professor i have seen, who involves his student in the video lectures.

I saw different courses on python then I felt that this course is much deeper, having more exercise and the community is much more helpful.

All the materials and course teacher are awesome to complete the course and learn basic python deeply.

It is the best course to learn python from scratch. I would highly recommend this course if you want to learn python from the basics. The course instructor is amazing, he never make you feel boredom and always keeps you fixed with the course.
