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.

Dr. Chuck has a special ability to teach programming to people who doesn't necessarily have programming background. This is rare among programming teachers, and shows that he is an excellent educator.

It was quite an interesting course covering mainly the book as referenced and while beginners can get hold of it too, programmers porting from different coding platforms can also catch up easily with python as taught in this course

My very first MOOC, and it totally got me hooked. The teacher is really good at explaining key concepts and the book is very useful and educational. Definitely will keep on going with the rest of the courses on this specialization.

Great course to get then basic picture of what programming is about. With this course and the book "Python for Informatics" I've learned the basics of Python very quickly and without much pain. Thanks dr. Chuck, you're the best! :)

A very well-structured course, aimed at those without prior programming experience. Dr. Chuck takes the time and proper care to explain all the basic concepts thoroughly. This serves as a great way to get your feet wet with Python!

So easy to follow along step by step! Very helpful to see how to go from Atom to Terminal and the pacing was very appropriate for complete beginners. Seeing some of the exercises worked out was super helpful in debugging my code.

I learnt a lot in this program including how to write simple python programs and how to simplify my codes during the progress. I strongly recommends this course for python programing starters who have little acknowledgement of it.

I thought the instructor was very helpful. I took a C++ class at a different college and the course material was outdated and hard to understand. The instructor gave good examples and explained everything in a way that made sense.

It was actually my most enjoyable course. It had the most work to do by far and that is what in turn made it most enjoyable. I was forced to learn and I love learning so that¡¦s why it was my favorite.
Special thank to Charles :)

IT's a 0 level course of python that literally teaches you from the scratch and if you know nothing about python like me 🤦♂️😑 then this course is best for you.
The teacher is also very nice and you can easily connect with him .
