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.

I am good with PHP and learning Python has been pretty easy, I have learned Python from several other classes, but this course taught me some things that I stumble on because of my knowledge with PHP. They are different. LOL

Excellent course. The teacher is very didactic and the classes are great. Dr. Chuck shows good energy to transfer knowledge. The forum is very useful and the managers help a lot with the solution of the doubts that may arise

Great information for anyone trying to get their feet wet with Python and coding in general. Dr. Chuck makes difficult information understandable due to his down to Earth mentality. Can't wait to learn about Data Structures!

I learned a lot through this course. Mr. Charles Severance is one of the best teachers to study python from. Though the course was a bit difficult towards the end, but he explained it in such a way that even that became fun.

Charles Severance does an awesome job of explaining things and is a very good teacher. This is a very good course. Some parts do not make sense at first but if you keep at it everything comes together and clicks. Thank you!

Muy interesante, te enseña a comprender mejor los dispositivos que utilizamos a diario. Además, te da unas base de programación. Aunque no esperes saber programar según termines el curso. Hay que echarle muchas horas a esto.

I loved the very down to earth approach taken in this course and as someone who plans to use this course as a stepping stone into the world of data analysis/visualization using python, I highly recommend this specialization.

I enjoyed this course. Dr Charles is an amazing tutor. This course lays out the foundation of python programming very well and leaves you hooked on its content - even if, like me, you have no prior background in programming.

Ótimo curso para aprender a programar. Isso vale pra qualquer linguagem, pois o instrutor dá ótimas dicas de lógica de programação neste primeiro módulo que no futuro, no aprendizado de outras linguagens, são muito valiosas.

Dr Chuck is a wonderful teacher. I have thoroughly enjoyed the introductory course and man behind that is Professor Chuck. I left me craving for more, even though I have finished college with graduation in civil engineering.
