For folks that have never programmed this class does a really good job of explaining the basics in very understandable terms. wish it had a way to advance past basics into syntax for those that understand the basics.

Although, this was my first time with python, I was up and running with a few basic codes in as few as two classes. The instructor is amazing and I enjoyed this course. Thank you Prof. Severance and the Coursera team.

This course is perfect for starters. I've learnt some Java and C++ before, but I discovered some fun and useful ideas in this begainer's course. Thanks to Pro. Severance, again I find programming easy and interesting.

This course has really helped me to built a strong fundamental concept in Python. Charles Severance was really good at explaining the fundamental concepts. Hope to continue further Python courses with him. Thank you.

Great inciating course. Simple and easy to follow, no need of previous experience on the theme. The tutors helping with trouble have quick response which assures the comprehension of topics and the fluency of modules

this course has made my basic clear in terms to programming .. As it also give free aids to students who is willing to learn but cant afford them. this platform made it simple by giving financial aid to the students

The teacher was very fun to learn from, and the course felt cohesive and easy to follow. The hands on exercises are nice, and I even experimented with my own things following his instructions. I'm excited to do more!

Getting taught the basics in a systematic way. Very good for beginners. Motivating instructor. I hope to continue learning more about python. But now I need a little break, reading dostoyevski. Thanks y'all. Spasiba.

Awesome course! Dr. Chuck is superb as being a teacher...great professor...good analogies, great explanations, thorough and the course is set up with relevant and challenging exercises. Excited to moving to part 2 :)

Great course, I took it to understand the basics of python language, and I am very confident and satisfied with the material that I have learned, the instructor delivery is very smooth and simple. Highly recommended.

Me parece una excelente opción para cualquier persona que no tiene ningún background de programación. Yo sí lo tengo, pero me hubiera encantado que cuando aprendí a programar hubiera sido de esta forma tan intuitiva.

a very good course for those who are just starting coding without any previous knowledge of any programming language. Also very helpful for people like me transitioning from a different programming language to python

An excellent course if anybody wanted to learn python. The Teaching Faculty is exceptional. If anyone want to learn basic's of python programming, I would highly recommend you all to take this course and complete it.

Together with David Malan from Harvard University, Charles Severance is a genius at conveying knowledge in a compact and understandable way. The course is suitable for absolutely everybody, no matter how old you are.

This course was really enjoyable and very easy for the ones who know another programming language. Professor Severance is a great instructor. I'm looking forward to completing the next courses of this specialization.

This course was extremely easy to follow and the instructor was probably the best I've had. Goes into detail and explains all the mechanics so you can understand why you're doing something. Would recommend to anyone!

I had a rough experience with Python before taking this course. But this course has changed it.

Now I am curious to learn more about Python and to improve my knowledge in it.

Thanks Coursera, for this wonderful course.

Excellent introduction to Programming in general and to Python specifically. Dr. Charles approach is very easy to understand and follow. I'll continue with the specialization on my way to develop useful applications.

Very good introduction to programming with python. Really goes in detail through the basics of programming and python. Although it covers only really basic things since there are other courses in this specialization.

I am really great full to the coursera community that they considered me for such a great course which helps in all round development of programming skills, it really teaches you each and everything you need to know.

This was my first online course. It was a very well taught course. Absolutely enjoyed taking it, and I am glad that I took it. Very well-planned course, even for the beginners as it starts from the basics. Loved it!!

Very clear (maybe too clear as for experienced C/C++ programmer), but I want to learn Python! and I find it amusing to work with code on a basic level, what makes my motivation very high. Glad I joined this course :)

The instructor is engaging to listen too. I had already taken another beginner Python course before this one, but I learned a number of things in this class. Most notably, I have a much better understanding of loops.
