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

best programming course till date,i will highly recommend this course for beginners.

Love the class. A bit frustrating that the Kindle version of the textbook is not broken down into chapters and so, doesn't line up precisely with the chapter references in the Coursera class.

Great introduction to the basic building blocks of programming. I've "stared learning" so many different programming languages, and this course had me watching every video just-in-case there was some nugget of wisdom to be gleaned. And there was always a nugget to be gleaned.

very basic and the lecturer takes far too long explaining basic concepts

It's a course on which you learn how to learn programming.

Excellent course, well taught. I don't have a computing background. Weeks 1-4 felt easy, Week 5 I had to focus, and weeks 6&7 I was pausing a lot and trying to digest the material. Next time this course is run it may be helpful to spread this material across 8 weeks, so that material in weeks 6 and 7 can be done over 3 weeks. instead of 2 weeks. I would also like to see more exercises (even if not graded) in weeks 5 to 7. E.g. to try out the various new lessons/functions. Although, on relflection, there was nothing stopping a student trying this out in Atom or in the PY4E playground! Many thanks.

Charles is a very good teacher.

good for beginners to start off with to understand the concept of a python language

Thanks Dr Chuck for bringing up this course.While this course is very important and useful for the very beginners I would like to add that people with some computing background will find this one very easy.

loved the course. Very easy to follow along and understand
