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

The professor made the content easy to understand. As a beginner, this course introduces programming in a very thoughtful way. It keeps me focus on the right things so that I did not get freaked out at the beginning when the working environment looks very different from the experience of an end-user. And it step by step build up my understanding in programming elements. I signed up this course with rather strong motivation (my ultimate goal is to run statistical simulation and develop statistic packages for other users), so when I see the course introducing the elements I did not understand at all before, I can see the power behind those programming building blocks. Hence, this course really made me wanting to program more!

You learn the basics of coding in a very relaxed and understanding way.

A great introduction into fundamental concepts in Python. Dr. Chuck is a perfect teacher, funny, competent and engaging. You will watch the videos in no time! Also, the electronic version of the book is free and covers every problem you can possibly come across in this course. My recommendation: install Python on your computer immediately after enrolling and track the differences between Python 2 (course version) and Python 3. For example, instead of using "print x", you will use "print(x)".

Great course, made python learning challenging, but absolutely not terrifying. The assignments I felt were enough, nd look forward to trying out the capstone project when i have the available funds. Thank you so much Charles Severance for the intuitive and fun lectures and book.

All Credits goes to Professor Mr. Charles .Thanks for every thing "Coursera"

It is a great course for beginners. The casual approach of the professor made concepts stick to our brain. thank you

This is the best course i have fall in love with this..!

The course is interesting and is very suitable for beginners!

Good course, but a little bit easy for programmers who have experience in other programming languages. Better to add more challenging assignments. :)

assignment is a bit too easy, suitable for totally new beginners
