Excellent for beginners like me. Although, I do wish that there were more examples and explanations per topic, more exercises per topic, and more projects per topic to really drive home the material.

The course is excellent! The content is very clear and the professor even makes it fun to learn! I would recommend it to anyone interested in programming with no previous knowledge in the subject.

It's a really very good course for beginners. In this course all concepts are taught very nicely and easily.

I recommend this course for all students who want to lean coding but my suggestion for them is to first complete c and c++.

good course for people with no programming background. very clear and easy-paced. for those of you who are familiar with python or other computer languages, i would suggest to use 1,5 of the normal speed when watching the lectures.

Dr Chuck's introduction to programming where he is explaining variables, constants and later functions, arguments etc. is really good and I would say universal for any programming language. So definitely excellent course for anyone.

So far, I am really enjoying this class. I am so thankful for this free source. I have taken a few python classes, the the beginning was a review, however the instructor makes the course beginning very enjoyable to watch. Thank you!

The best introduction to a programming language one can possibly imagine . The instructor was very explicit in the logical approach and took care of the basics and technicalities while switching between text editor and the prompt .

Very beginner-oriented, but still gives a good overview of the basics in Python. Reasonable weekly time commitment and also good balance with some non-technical information like the story of the Python creator in (optional) videos.
