A well-designed course, especially for the beginners, who are really enthusiastic and passionate about programming. It really helps you to learn from scratch and it does not require any prerequisites.

Great course. I am a C# developer looking to also learn Python, so I watched all the videos on 2X speed and flew through it in a few hours. It was a good way to get the foundation of Python fast.

Another great course by Dr. Chuck! I never thought I would learn the basics of programming so quickly. The assignments are so fun that I forget I'm being graded. Looking forward to the next one!

I like the course design and the exercises are very helpful to review the key concepts in the videos. I think the course wants to teach us how to think like a computer scientist by learning python.

I do learn a lot about python from this course.

Even though I'm a super beginner as to python, but this course gave me kind explanation and inspiration.

I do wanna recommend this course for everyone!

The pace and structure are perfect for the beginner programmer. The courses build in difficulty in a logical progression to help the learner gain a solid infrastructure for more challenging topics.

Dr. Severance is the programming professor I should have had back in '87 when I was crunching thermodynamics with Fortran 77. Boy I was lost back then! He does great and it all works well online.

It's an exceptional course on Coursera. Course is a bend of theory and wisdom lectures from Python founder and inventors in computer sciences. It's always pleasure to listen to Professor Severance.

Great overview - went over things many times but patiently and slowly. I have taken a few intro to programming classes and this was one of the easier to follow and understand ones I've experienced.

This course is very basic and is for the learners who are very new to programming. If you already know the programming in other language, only keywords are different and may not be as you expected.

Best professor and amazing course. Need to make people work more. Assignments are interesting. Include more than 2 assignments as people taking online courses don't get time to work on their own.
