The Professor is very humourous. But his teaching methodology is very efficient. I have learnt the basics of Python programming in a very short time but very interesting way.

Professor Charles Severance is excellent at what he is doing.

He can make even people new to coding or even general computer science concepts understand what he is teaching :)

I would really like to thank Charles Russell for delivering this in the best way possible. Tests at the end of every chapter were helpful to apply and retain what I learned.
