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

E

Excellent course that I have used for teaching. Really fantastic resource.

Very Good Beginner Course for Python. Pretty short in material length but if you are looking to start programming I would strongly recommend it. Very good examples and quizes at the end of each section make sure you know your stuff.

This course was extremely helpful in getting started with Python. Professor Charles made it even more interesting with his style of teaching. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn the basics of programming with Python.

Excellent programming introduction to everyone. Very detailed lectures and readings. It builds from the basics and gradually introduce more complex situations, leaving no sense of big confussion compared to other courses I've taken. Thanks Dr. Chuck and thanks to Coursera.

This was a great intro for anyone who has never programmed and very well articulated. Concepts clearly explained. Giving it 5 stars since the effort that has gone into making these videos is poorly understood by people who have not been in lecturing positions - I salute you ! Having been a self taught programmer from the mid 80's on BASIC with Apple 2E's, it is a breath of fresh air seeing this kind of material on the Internet. I had to dig around in libraries which had books (yes paper!). If the youth could rather spend time exploiting this fountain of knowledge instead of hacking away on FPS and Online gaming then we could see some really cool stuff happen :).

Fun step by step

The course was to basic for me but it filled up some of my basic knowledge gaps.

Clear explanation, super easy to start with! I benefited a lot from the course. It is highly recommended for those who do not have programming backgrounds. Well done Dr. Chuck!!
