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

brief and succinct

Nice Work Team!!

A great course for beginner and intermediate users.

Great introduction for Python newbies

Really thorough introduction to Python. Is perfect for anyone who has never been exposed to a programming or coding language before. Easy to follow and the enthusiasm of the instructor is infectious!!! :)

Excellent course and just took me less than a day to complete

Exceptional course

This is a review of the first og five parts in the Programming for Everybody (Getting Started with Python. It deserves 5 stars. The video tutorials are great and informative and the course also includes PowerPoint slides used in the lectures, the complete book which can be downloaded, quizzes and assignments, an autograder for the assignments and a playground where you can try out your Python skills and examples covered in the lectures. And, even though I haven't used it, a discussion group categorized in weeks (for the different topics covered), where both students and staff are very active. There really isn't a negative side, but if I where to mention something, it would be that I am guessing the PowerPoint slides originally where used for Python 2.7, because some of them have not been updated all the way, to Python 3. And, even though some of the quiz questions are very simple, some harder questions should be available, to make us prepare more. And of course, a few more assignments per week would help boost our confidence, even though I know we could do that on our own. Great course and great teacher.

This is the first course I have taken in Coursera and I liked it very much. Not only about the teaching style of Chuck making it a lot of fun, but I started to love Python for the programming. Thanks Chuck and the Teaching Staff of Python for Everybody:)

Good for beginners. Explained basics concepts with example
