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

A great (and gentle) introduction or review of fundamental concepts in Python programming and basic computer science. The lectures are clear and the assignments are relevant/well-designed. This course series is second only to MITx 6.00.1x over at edX, which is considerably more challenging, time-consuming, and somewhat better executed. The code grader for the MIT course test a wide array of cases to ensure that the student has minimal leeway in terms of shortcuts while one could easily fool the auto-grader in this course. The assignments also lack depth and challenge compared to the MIT assignments. Overall, the course is well organized and a great option for beginners.

It is very simple course. It is perfect for nonprogrammers.

great ! the process of learning is interesting.

Fantastic

I have taken this course before. It is my third challenge. I could pass all the assignments now. I feel like I get something from this course and I really appreciate all the Coursera staffs and Dr.chuck for helping me to pass this course. thank you jongchan

The course is for people with little programming background. It is really helpful and interesting. Prof is extremely funny and responsible at the same time. like it very much.

If you can't program at all this is an excellent course, If you know how to program in any language this course is not for you.

this course is very interesting

Very good lectures, assignments, and examples. An excellent course.

Very good to start learning Python. More exercices would be great.
