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

Great content, great platform but most important great instructor!

really thorough and approaachable introduction to python! the instructor is just great and the assignments are just challenging enough

Excellent!!!

It's a perfect way to start programming

Chuck is awsome!

I would have loved to give it a 5 start rating but here is why I did not. Towards the end of the course Dr. Severence introduces 'None' type. It is a beautiful way to deal with problems when you a predefine elements is a list. However if a beginner tries to use 'None' type in order to find out the largest and the smallest entries using while loop...it creates a problem. You would start your code with asking the user to enter the value...if compare it with 'don'...if it matches you break out of the code. Now...if you try to compare the number obtained in the first line of code with 'None' variable it says cant compare string with None type...if you try to change the date type and try to compare an int value or a float value with 'None'...it still cant compare it. It took me three days to figure out a way to solve the problem...I initialized the values of the largest and the smallest variables with an integere 0 and just did what I was expected to. But deep down I feel as if I could not acheive this using the None data type. So just a feedback. I would love to have a conversation about it with anyone interested.

very good

I really liked the course, I learned the basics of python

This is my first online programming course and it goes well:) Thank you Professor :)
