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

wondrful lessons

before starting this course i was a beginner. And now days i know much more things through this .. Thank You sir AND Coursera

The course is explained very clearly so it is easy to understand.Thank you very much for providing this course

Very nice explanation. It was nice experiencing learning python

good

excellent instructor, and the material covered was good. I wish he gave an introduction about the packages and libraries and how to use/ import form them

Went through important things needed, some felt very easy as I learned a bit on my own prior to the course. I found the graded material to be good and on topic. The multiple choice assignments were very, very easy, while coding exercises were super simple, with an increase in difficulty in the last couple. Questions and online text editor were specific in how they wanted the questions to be done, something I was worried about a little. I would rather use Pythons built in IDE, however that's not exactly possible, using others would be hard to integrate as well. Maybe just submitting your .py file would make it seem more natural, the online editor was good, but felt weird and didn't act exactly the same with some traceback errors, and other functions, plus looking at black and white can get tiring really fast. If you have done any learning on your own, depending on how much, this first course may all be review for you, or mostly. It is good to get information from other sources that are reliable, as they will add certain bits and examples to help better understand things. I was able to finish about the first 3/4ths very easily, and the last quarter wasn't very hard, or time consuming, I just didn't try to complete the assignments as quick or often. With some strong basic knowledge and time, you could potentially finish this in a week, and someone who is good with python a day easily, that's why it's for beginners. Switching from another language to python, depending on if you have any experience at all, you could skim through the material very fast, shouldn't have any issues, since it would all be syntax.

It's a very helpful course for beginners who wants to learn python

Really liked the course. It started from the basics and kept me engaged throughout the course. Will 100% recommend this course for the beginners.

It was a very precisely designed course for the beginners and I just loved the way it has been taught.
