This is a really great class, you must be sure to follow along in the free book, don't just do the graded assignments, there are assignments in the book as well that will allow you to hone your skills.
Don't worry the book is free to download. I have mine on my ipad.

Dr. Chunk is so funny and he teaches well.And I like this interview and office hour part.I learned a lot in this course and I will keep learning his other python course. Thx!
awsome teacher
Very good for learning the basic syntax and the professor is great.
Great introduction by a great teacher!
I liked the fact that the lessons are simple but to the point, and assumed no prior knowledge of anything resembling programming. Though it is of course very easy to anyone who has even limited programming knowledge, I want to say thank you for providing a friendly and non-judgemental way of teaching a programming language, an experience I did not have when I was being taught.
The course itself is wonderful,very instructive, well organized, and easy to understand. My only "complaint" is that it is too simple. That being said, this course is the fundamental of the fundamental of python. Mastering this sole course is far below enough to wield python as a powerful data analyzing tool. Also, I think even though this is designed to be an intro course, for people like me who is a total rookie in the world of computer science, it should have mentioned, at least touched upon a little of what is algorithm, because there is no way we won't come across various algorithms in the future of learning computer science. I just think it'd be good to have a heads-up.
Excelent Intro to python, explained very well and step by step
100% recommended
This and the following courses are taught clearly and engagingly - a great intro to both progr
