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.

Great course! I always thought of programming as a too-difficult-and-complex thing for me; now I want to learn more. Thank you Dr Charles Severance for explaining everything in such an affordable way.

The course and the instructor are amazing. I would like if there is a summery distributed (before the course) to help practising and memorising codes and their meanings.

What I personally liked about this course was it was started from the scratch and ended up being pretty complex. But my Professor was helpful in every step of my course.
