    Easy to follow and not boring. The instructor breaks things down in simple form. The Coursera platform is sometimes a bit quirky but otherwise the content in this course I thought was quite excellent.

    Extremely basic but Dr. Chuck is so interesting that you never get bored. You can pass the course in a few days with minimum or even no programming knowledge. It's a good starting point for beginners.

    I have some experience in programming, including Python. Nevertheless, this course was great, I strongly recommend it for everyone, who has no experience at all or is eager to start use this language. Everything is simple and clear, there is no way of misunderstanding material. Also, it is really funny. Charles Severance, thank You very much!

    This is a well structured, well taught course for beginner programmers, or those seeking to learn another computer language. I feel confident in my ability to write basic Python programs, and am excited to continue with this course series. I would recommend this course to anyone who has a desire to pursue an interest in computer programming!

    This specific course covers topics such as programming principles, variables and expressions, execution flow, functions, and iterations. Its study material explained concepts clearly, especially the textbook "Python for Everybody". Its work load was light, requiring only a few hours to complete all the lessons and assignments of a given week.

    Dr. Chuck is amazing at making Python really interesting and personable for everyone. I love his humor and how he takes the time to really be thorough in his lectures. The fact that the course continually builds on the previous portion also helps us as students make sure we really grasp what we learned. I'm excited to continue in this series.

    I tried to learn python basic from many source but I felt it was too difficult for me so I almost gave up on programming but after going through this course I really learned python basic very easily. Teacher charles teaching is good very easily understandable with good example. Thanks Sir Charles Russell Severance and coursera for the course.

    From this course, I successfully controlled the basics of programming computers using Python, like sequence, condition, loop and iteration statements. What gave me huge confidence to study this course is that the course has no pre-requisites and avoids all but the simplest mathematics. Now I am ready to take more advanced programming courses.

    I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is new to Python. The professor is very good at intuitively explaining how Python works. You just ease into Python for the first 3 weeks. If you are skilled with another programming language, you can complete this course in 2-3 weeks. Also, the first 3 weeks might seem a bit easy for you.

    I enjoyed the easy and casual way with which Professor Charles Severance explains the different aspects of Python. I also enjoyed the fun videos at the end of each lesson where he interviewed interesting people related to our topic, and showed "office hours" from different parts of the world. Made the online class feel very real and personal.

    Je suis fier d'avoir mis la main à la pâte pour aborder et finir ce cours avec mon anglais moyen. La nécessité d'avoir une traduction en français pour la compréhension de certains concepts.

    Le cours état intéressant dans l'approche global pour un débutant comme moi

    Merci au professeur pour son enthousiasme et sa pédagogie. Thank you so much !

    if you are thinking and wondering whether learning a programming language like Python is for you, think no more. This first course took me step by step in learning the very basic of Python and I got more confident in learning this and I am taking the second course. The lecture is super friendly and fun and he is very down-to-earth. Kudos C.S!

    Very useful introduction to python. Charles has a very didactic and dedicated approach to his explanations, and although sometimes it gets a bit repetitve, it actually really helps to let it sink in slowly, as you will really remember the explanation that works best for you. The exercises and tests are concrete and really test your knowledge.

    Everything about this course is exceptional. As a beginner, programming to me felt daunting and too complex. Yet this course has shown me just how easy it is for one to learn to code using python. Everything from the assignments to the lectures are done perfectly and you never feel lost. Why are you still reading this? START THE COURSE!!!!!!!

    First time taking a programming course. I was able to understand the basic concepts of python codding and I am looking forward to the next course Python Data Structures. I hope to get a better understanding on how to apply python to real world situations when I conclude all the courses available.

    I am very excited. Thanks Prof Chuck and CTA's.

    Absolutely delighted and feeling elated after having gone through py4e. Dr. Chuck was just awesome. I havent gone through an online course in such a fast manner as this one. He is just incredibly doing justice by teaching us py4e from the scratch without any programming background. Would definitely recomment it to the beginners just like me.

    This is the best course I have enrolled so far. The way he teaches is different, he encourages you to participate, put efforts, and see things differently. Furthermore, this course is more practical. In addition to this, the extra work is quite interesting i mean the office and the talks with the producers of different software and hardware.

    This course was absolutely incredible! I loved the enthusiastic teacher, Charles Russell Severance and his funny way of teaching. I loved the material that he taught and how he taught it, and I think the entire 5 courses would be worth it for anyone who wishes to know a beginning programming language that could be used as a professional one!

    Beginner-friendly and suitable for all who are interested in and willing to learn about programming without any prior experience. Concepts are demonstrated clearly with vivid explanations. Strongly impressed by the enthusiasm and love for his career of Prof. Charles Severance. Glad that we can go along the very first tour to Python with him.

    Never thought learning python would seem so fun and easy. It is all because of how professionally this course was designed and of course the way Dr.Chuck explained every little thing in detail so that we don't miss out on any important concept. I will definitely recommend this course to my friends and colleagues interested in learning python

    The instructor is amasing.. even though I have previous knowledge of programming, his way of explaining things and trying to explain the way that the program works is amasing. he is relating the way Python works with our way of thinking and that way helping us understand better how to think as a programmer.. definitely HIGHLY recommend... :)

    I have a little experience from a couple of college classes programming in java and MATLAB. This course was a good, straightforward introduction to python. For those familiar with the general structures of programming (conditional statements, loops, etc.) , this course will be easy and go quickly - you may be able to finish in a week or two.

    This is a fairly easy course to follow especially for someone who is trying to learn a programming language for the first time. Dr. Severance's lectures are very engaging to watch and I recommend trying out the codes that he will show you during the lectures. It will help you a lot in answering Assignment questions. Thank you Dr. Severance.

    Very simple and easy to understand! Even though I had some previous knowledge of Python, Dr. Severance taught me new ways to approach problem-solving in Python, and made me enjoy myself while doing it! I 100% recommend this to anybody who wishes to get a firm grasp of programming. Regardless of your age or abilities, this course is for you.
