Excellent programming introduction to everyone. Very detailed lectures and readings. It builds from the basics and gradually introduce more complex situations, leaving no sense of big confussion compared to other courses I've taken. Thanks Dr. Chuck and thanks to Coursera.

This was a great intro for anyone who has never programmed and very well articulated. Concepts clearly explained. Giving it 5 stars since the effort that has gone into making these videos is poorly understood by people who have not been in lecturing positions - I salute you ! Having been a self taught programmer from the mid 80's on BASIC with Apple 2E's, it is a breath of fresh air seeing this kind of material on the Internet. I had to dig around in libraries which had books (yes paper!). If the youth could rather spend time exploiting this fountain of knowledge instead of hacking away on FPS and Online gaming then we could see some really cool stuff happen :).
Fun step by step
The course was to basic for me but it filled up some of my basic knowledge gaps.
Clear explanation, super easy to start with! I benefited a lot from the course. It is highly recommended for those who do not have programming backgrounds.
Well done Dr. Chuck!!
The basics covered in an easy, comprehensible way. A 6-year old would get that probably, which means it's explained like it should be for a "getting started with" course.
Good for Beginners!
This is my first class on coursera. Love it!
Mr. Chuck is the best!
A really good course for beginner's who want to learn some programming.
