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

Excellent course for people who are absolutely new to programming, and want to have a solid start.

This course is an excellent resource for true beginners. Charles Severance has this amazing way to explain things that helped make the shift from thinking that computers are super-smart and I am just not smart enough to understand them. After this course I think that I am smart and computers are dumb. Highly recommended!

Hi My name is Kapil Raj and i am from India. This is the first course i have done from Coursera. Its an awesome course. Its a great course for someone who have just wanted to learn programming or have a little prior knowledge in programming.

Amazing teacher. The explanations are clear, fun and the courses supports are highly engaging.

Quite accessible for anyone who has never done any programming. It is very engaging! There could be harder exercises to practice but in general the course is well structured and exercises are good!

It is a good place to start if you are looking to dive into the ocean of awesomeness of Python. Dr.Chuck makes the course easy with his style of teaching.

I am really thankful to Dr. Chuck and all Coursera team.

Very good introduction. Easy to follow. Meaningful assignments. I don't feel like I wasted a second for this course.

The course has very nice tools to help you check your code. Although I had a bad time installing python at first, eventually I could made it run both on windows 10 and mac os Sierra. I highly appreciate Dr. Chuck´s humor, not only is highly unusual to joke so much in a class, but needed for something as black&white as a programming class can be. I do have one HUGE advice for the course, do the little problems in the video. Each video has several structures and ways of doing things, do them each, and squeeze them. You will need it to fully understand more complex problems. I wish the course would do a lot more short reviews, instead of a general review after each video. Continuing evaluation is critical to get more feedback and improve significantly. Best of Luck !

Excellent course to start in programming world
