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.

It was an awesome course , the instructor was very good at explaining it in a (hogward) like way .It was fun, i feel like anyone who doesn't have prior knowledge on programming can learn it with ease.

Most experts explain their topics with to much complexity for the novice learner. This course is not that. The professor has done a great job starting from the basics, making it engaging to learn.

The course is very complete and the explications are simple and easy to understand as someone who has programmed in Python comparing the content to how my first semester learning the language was.

It is a good course for those who are starting to program. I recommend do it even if you already know some programming language because you can review some topics and learn python in the begining.

Excelente curso, las lecciones son faciles, no te perdes al momento de hacer los ejercicios y son lo suficientemente retadores sin caer en la necesidad de ser muy complejos o exagradamente fáciles

Perfect way to introduce yourself in Python world. Dr. Chuck is allways funny and you really enjoy watching the videos. The course structure goes slowly but sure that you're learning step by step.

Your first impression might be that the course looks a little dated, however don't get it twisted, this course is timeless and is relevant for as long as Python 3 is the most up to date Python.

Es el mejor curso de python que pude encontrar, al principio no tiene mucho que ver con el tema pero que eso no te quite la emocion por aprender, se entiende muy bien pero tambien hay subtitulos.

This course is very good for the foundation knowledge about python. It helps newbie understand some very basic things about python. But, it is not good for someone who already good at programing.

Very good introduction to python and programming in general. The way they make us think in the videos is very helpful to solve the problems and it doesn't scare people with overcomplicated things

This course has been very helpful and easy to follow. The lessons are clear, however, I think it would be helpful to explain how to use the syntax for some of the functions, even if just briefly.
