I completed the course in about three days. I've never programmed before to the learning curve was excruciating but nonetheless I managed to get through and finally get my python feet wet so to speak.

Great course for those who want to start on learning a new programming language or who wants to start programming. It is suitable for either cases. Also, it is just enough difficult for those who want to face some challenge.

It is a great course for beginners! I would also recommend it to people who know a little programming with prior knowledge in some other language, This course just dos what it says and makes you feel comfortable with python.

I'm amazed at how quickly i progressed from knowing absolutely nothing about computer programming to understanding these concepts and apply them!

All thanks to Charles Severence for making the learning experience so awesome!

The teaching materials are sophisticated and robust; you can expect to absorb quite a lot of the basics if you utilize the textbook and the video. I wouldn't mind having more exercizes, but overall it was a great experience.

I was a total beginner in programming before this course and I was feeling little bit afraid of the subject, however after completing this course I feel much more comfortable and confident about myself that I could learn it.

Basic course with good implementations and cases for better understanding .But the last for loop execution in the terminal was my biggest trouble.The loop videos seemed to be rushed for a beginner .They were not so friendly.

Great course, good explanations, excited for the next instalment. Only downside is it seems that Python 3 is now being implemented as opposed to python 2.

I personally would have preferred if this course went as far as lists.

It's a clear and nice tutorial. Although I've learned python before, I still find it fascinating and worthy to spend several hours to review some of the basics.

And the professor himself is super humorous.

Good experience, 5/5

This is really best course for individual wants to learn python without having previous knowledge in programming. Dr. Charles has explained each concepts in simple manner and his book "Python for infromatics" is really good.

Loved learning from Charles Severance. Really felt like I learned the fundamentals of Python AND programming at the same time. Learned a lot about computational thinking and OOP which I can apply to Java and other languages.

I am a novice at programming. But Dr. Chuck is amazing. He made us understand some basics of Python programming in a simple way. So, I would suggest if you want to learn Python programming from zero, this course is for you.

Es un programa muy bueno para personas que no saben nada de programación y es un buen curso para desempolvar conocimiento para las personas que ya saben programar en otro lenguaje, definitivamente un buen lugar para empezar

Good introductory course for beginners to python programming. The instructor was very clear in his explanation. The coding assignments and quizzes were fun to do as well as it provides a good way to do some hands-on coding.
