Those who don't have a prior programming knowledge will find it easy and those who already know a little bit of programming, this will be easier. Most importantly it covers every single basic knowledge of python.

Dr. Charles is amazing and explains everything in a very lucid manner by giving examples from the real world that you can relate to. I would highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to start programming.

the course was nicely explained. all the joke and real life example make it more interesting but the peice of code search the most occuring word in a paragraph is still not taught even when the course is complete

This is doable for anyone who has interest to learn coding, in this case, learning about Python. Dr Chuck has made it pretty simple to digest, learn and understand even if you have never learn or done any coding.

I truly enjoyed this course. It was fun and interesting even when I thought the last assignment would beat me...ha ha. I loved every moment of this course! Thank you for giving me a strong foundation for Python!!

A great beginner course for anyone who wishes to embark on their journey in the world of programming. Excellent coursework, incandescent teacher, awesome explanations with great analogies! Couldn't be any better.

The course was easy to follow and fit into my life between other things (work, son). The content was interesting and explained clearly. Exercises could have been harder, or at least less like the text / examples.

Wonderful class. Really helped me refresh my understanding of python. Also made me realize there was still a lot I did not know. The professor was great and he articulated the material wonderfully. Thank you!

Dr. Severence's videos are highly informative and he goes step-by-step through the material in a simple and straightforward way. Free pdf book. Free help from course mentors for each week's homework. Great class!

It's an excellent introductory course for beginners in Python. I had no programming experience or knowledge before I took this class, and now I got a basic understanding of this fascinating world. "Hello, World!"

Awesome for Beginners in Programming! Must take this course if you are an early learner and this course is very much focussed on basics and foundations and then it teaches the concepts binding those fundamentals.

A really well-paced introduction for getting started with python. Even though I have programming experience, the lectures really covered the basics very well and gave me a good foundation to further learn python.

I started this course from scratch without knowing any idea of programming.

A series of well-designed lectures helpd me to keep moving forward step by step.

I really appreicate Dr.Chuck.

Have fund with this course!

Very nice class. I enjoyed all the lectures, especially how Dr. Chuck conveys a concept comparing with real world things. It was nice of him to show us the motherboards and how each component works in a computer.

The best option for taking your first steps in Python. The instructor is so welcoming, you can tell he has a passion for his job and feels the need to share it with us. Can't wait to keep learning with the team.

This course starts with the basics of computer hardware and architecture. It progresses with the explanation of how main and secondary memory works.

It then talks about Python language and its various constructs.

The course is really great and especially for beginners. The instructor teaches with such interest and delighted manner by explaining each and every concept with real-life examples makes it much easier to learn.

This is a great course! It is an easy and practical way to get into Python, I really liked. Also, the teacher includes awesome interviews that generate more interest about programming. I totally recommend it.

I was struggling for learning programming, before I found this course from Dr.Charles Severance... He is an amazing teacher, and he gave me a lot. Now I think, I did an amazing start for my career. Thanks a lot.

The instructor is very engaging and the course is thought in a masterful way. While the amount of content is admittedly underwhelming I can easily recommend this course as an excellent starting point for python.

I would honestly like to have more quizzes and assignments for extra practice and engagement. I love this course so much. Moreover, this was my first online course ever on an online education platform. Stunning.

This is my second Python course. Course is excellent for beginners. Instructor is very good and keeps your attention on the course. Coursera is a good platform collecting necessary things for teaching. Thanks...

Literally I love the course and learned the basics of programming and Python. And I wanna say thanks to the Coursera team for providing such a course. Last but not least I'll be grateful that I took this course.

It is an amazing course where you can learn the basics of programming. It´s quite interesting understand the way you can communicate with your computer. Thank you to all the people who make possible this course.

When I started this course, I know only the basics of Python, but with this course, I learnt the basics in detail. Thanks a lot to Charles Russell Severance sir, the way you explained the course is Excellent!!!!
