Ratings and Reviews for Programming for Everybody (Getting Started with Python)

nice

Perfect for the people who are new to programming, every topic was explained in detail. A little bit slow for people already familiar with some programming language. Overall great python concept

Easy to understand the basis of python ...would really prefer for all engineering students to pursue this course before joining college for a better and clear picture of programming in your classes.

Thanks Dr. Chuck, You helped me overcome my fear of programming.

At first i thought learning python will be difficult but this course made it so easy.

Great Course.It made so simple

awesome python course

I took the whole specialization which I strongly recommend over individual pieces. These courses go through a book provided by Charles Severance. He includes all the material and TONS of code he made. Charles goes through all the code he brings up in the class and explains each piece. There are fluff pieces throughout that are not necessary to pass but offer some history. Overall a great course with a great instructor.

Excellent introduction to Python for me--someone with limited prior coding experience, but strong Excel and math backgrounds. I enjoyed the core and optional lectures and found them to provide excellent instruction on using Python. I would have liked more assignments which would help to reinforce the instruction and get the syntax locked in. I will probably try to find separate sources for getting the additional practice I need to achieve these objectives.\ \ As a side note, one-third of my total course time was spent trying to figure out how to get atom to recognize Python. Evidently, it is a path issue which can be solved with defining a path with some code I don't understand or by checking a path box when you load Python. I figured out the latter and reloaded Python, but it was a lot of time spent on this issue.

This is only for absolutely for beginner
