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

awesome

A really good introduction course of Python with hands-on exercises. The tutor is really interesting, and I had great fun and sense of achievement during the course. I highly recommend it to those who want to learn Python.

A good introductory course. Lots of time spent explaining basic concepts with good examples. Be sure to get the book (free pdf available) and read the chapters to help you with the assignments.

I had zero experience and I wanted to break into programming in the worst way. This course not only made me feel like it was possible, but it also made me excited to continue learning. !!!!

It was an amazing course with a brilliant teacher.

Great way to get started with Python!

Good introduction in Thinking as a programmer and learning python. I will start the second course right away, because - yeah, it's just the first half

Great tempo, explanations, and exercises.... To give 5 starts, I would have liked more assignments.

Learning a new language is really difficult. Thanks to coursera and the instructor they made this course so easy that any one can understand the concept of the programming and complexity of it very easily. Thank you coursera and special thanks to the instructor.

Nice and well structured class. I liked it to learn the basic Python syntax (loops, functions etc.), before you get to data structures in the second class. At first, that was counter-intuitive to me, since in other courses on different programming languages, it was the other way around, but it worked quite nicely. The only weakness of the class: In the assignments where you have to enter your code to get a specific output, just getting the output was not enough. A more or less concrete code was required. It was sometimes a bit frustrating to figure out what went wrong. But anyhow: A good course for anyone with little programming experience and a wish to learn Python!
