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

A perfect way to start Python

watch videos of avinash jain,it is more helpful. also should include implementation instead of explanation of every topic

wow!

very effective teaching

very helpful for starters like me, thank you professor!

Programmers using complex lingo in your life making you feel lost when they explain something to you? This is the course for you! Other resources you tried on how to program are too complicated, and sound like an alien is speaking to you? This is the course for you! Why? Everything is explained so "Everybody" (anybody!) can learn! Plus, everything is communicated slowly, and compared to things in everyday life (of that of the "99%" of the population) so that "Everybody" can understand. Note: Great for LEARNING the basics. Not for PRACTICING. I used this course alongside "Learning Python the Hard Way" since that is an exercise only focused book, and this course is strong in terms of it's ability to communicate complicated concepts. Also, if you are someone in the tech industry who thinks his explanations are too "dumbed down", take this as a chance to learn and improve your own communication skills by watching someone who is able to communicate "complex ideas" so that "Everybody" can understand.

thanks for coursera .

Excellent course and materials.

Encouraging. This is a course you are not likely to drop out of. The order of info being given, and the explanations are very easy and relatable. The foundational knowledge and skills this course passes on is solid, essential, and prepares for future learning very well. No computer background required for this at all. I also commend the Dr. , for his ability to simplify the concepts without teaching anything which is untrue. You won't need to unlearn anything you learn here as you continue to advance. It's all good stuff, and I appreciated a little bit of the trivia. I can tell this is an old course given some of the bonus videos of historical nature were recorded a few years ago.... but I'm doing it in 2018, but it's still relevant. I appreciate that I do not need to wait for a session to start, and there are plenty of peers still doing this course. You can do this at your own pace, and won't need to wait long at all for any peer review.

The course is well organized and benificial to beginners. The instructor is quite humorous.
