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

Great step by step introduction in programming!

One of the bests courses I took in Coursera!

Great course for anyone who has little to no experience with programming.

Best introductory course for programming.

Very good course for beginners in Python. The instructor gives solid explanations in each of the chapters and it is very easy to follow. Activities are well suited for entry level developers, challenging you to think a little but not to overwhelm you. Excellent to get a solid grasp on the basics.

Excellent for beginners and to refresh

Very good course! And really interesting bonus videos!

The course is really very good and interactive.

I like this program mucho! Yes, you can learn Python from a book or from an automated, text-based course. But the videos by Dr. Chuck give the course the human touch and a real-world college feel. With a human in the loop, slight and useful nuances of coding and perspective on coding come through subtly and informally, beyond what text alone can provide. -- My only hangup was with the Autograder, the automated checker of submitted programs. For the final program I delivered output as required. My code was syntactically and semantically correct. However I had to rewrite my code several times to fit the hidden requirements of the tool. That was frustrating. To resolve the problem I went to the Forum and received prompt feedback on my efforts. Again, the human support aspect of Coursera distinguishes it from other tools. On the way to resolution, I did get feedback on alternate and cleaner ways to code. Thanks very much to those that monitored and respond to the forum. -- I am VERY HAPPY with my experience with Coursera and this course. I am very excited: I feel empowered and confident that I can achieve my goals of not only acquiring a good, basic foundation of programming (Algorithms, Data Structures, etc.) but continue to advanced and current topics (Machine Learning, Big Data, etc.) Thanks to all!

Excellent teacher, excellent teaching!
