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

worth it

I just finished this course a couple of hours ago and I'm happy to provide a review. I must admit that I'm not a beginning programmer. I've been writing computer programs professionally and for fun since I was a kid in the late 1960's, so I've been around the "block" a few times, but I never spent any time with Python. I'm currently retired and I recently started pursuing an interest in statistical learning theory. I wanted to get a rapid but solid understanding of Python, found "Dr. Chuck's" course through Coursera, and started it three days ago. Now certainly one of the reasons I could zip through the material so quickly was having a lifetime of experience to draw on. But my experience wouldn't have been nearly as useful if the course weren't so well designed and delivered. No matter what your background is, I think you'll benefit from Dr. Chuck's clarity and enjoy his humor as you watch the videos and read the textbook. I can't wait to start the next course in the specialization...

The best course I ever do

great and an easy way to start off with python.

One of the best programming courses ever. Dr Chuck explains the concepts to you in the simplest way possible. Highly recommended course for someone getting starting in coding

100% recomendado!!! Vamos por mas

good course for newcomer

In the first course of Programming for Everybody (Getting Started with Python), Prof Severance gives a great introduction for anyone who's interested in learning Python whether for personal or business use cases. I found the material and assignments very easy to follow and complete. I look forward to moving on and completing all of the courses!

This course helped me to get how my computer "read" Python code. I can use my basic knowledge now! It was really interesting and exciting!

Great, this from a beginner point of view.
