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.

Excellent, although, even without having any programming experience except some Visual Basic at school about ten years ago, in my opinion the course could have bee more difficult and the pace quicker.

I didn't know a thing about Python before this course and about programming itself - but now I started to understand it bit by bit. So this course is fantastic - highly recommend anyone who wants to learn Python.

This was a great experience to me but i want to suggest if its possible than please add some more basic topic which is used frequently in day to day programming like exception handling, file handling etc.

Thank you

El instructor es muy claro y hace las clases amenas. Las explicaciones son excelentes. Los videos muy claros. Ideal para aquellos que se inician en la programación.

Me encantaría que estuviese traducido al español.

very good for the one who is learning to program but for the person who is already aware of programming constructs, this course is kind very basic and lot of time is wasted to hear the stuff which one already know

This is a great course, I love the delivery. It has increasing difficulty from one chapter to the next and the bonus/interview section motivates you to continue with the course. A excellent resource for beginners.

Really well done. I think of all the different online courses I tried, this is the one that helped push me through to start seeing coding as less of a thing to be feared and more of a language that can be learned.

I loved the course! It was exactly what I was looking for - start learning to programme from scratch.

The teacher was good as well (and really funny :D), always giving very detailed explanations and good examples.

I like Dr. Severances' style, so far. His videos are engaging and fun to watch. I also appreciate that the textbook is available for free, as well as a ton of other Python free resources, for the sake of learning.
