This course aims to teach everyone the basics of programming computers using Python. We cover the basics of how one constructs a program from a series of simple instructions in Python. The course has no pre-requisites and avoids all but the simplest mathematics. Anyone with moderate computer experience should be able to master the materials in this course. This course will cover Chapters 1-5 of the textbook “Python for Everybody”. Once a student completes this course, they will be ready to take more advanced programming courses. This course covers Python 3.

Python was my first language to learn and i'm happy that i chose this specialization course. It was thought simple and straight forward and the assignments helped me a lot to learn the course better.

I loved it! Dr. Chuck is extraordinary in his explanations. A great way to start on Python programming. As a person that hasn't programmed in years it was an encouraging and educational experience :-)

This is the best course I've taken by far! The instructor does well at explaining the concepts and makes it interesting. I really enjoyed this course and am excited to continue forward. Thank you!
RR
The course is really helpful for me to enhance the Python programming language. Thank you for offering this kind of course special thanks to the professor. His teaching methods are really impressive.

After completion of thin course . I am fully excited to learn more courses on it. Here each ad every content is very clearly explained I'm very happy and thanks a lot COURSERA (founders)and team.

The course is excellent! The content is very clear and the professor even makes it fun to learn! I would recommend it to anyone interested in programming with no previous knowledge in the subject.

i really liked the course very much, especially sir who is teaching us in a very simple manner, The best teacher I have ever seen who now the tacts for explaining the language in a very nice manner

Very beautifully taught. I gained basic python programming knowledge quite easily. The lecturer is fun and encourages students to want to learn more. In general, it was an awesome learning experience.

I strongly recommend those who are learning this course read the book written by the professor, it really helps a lot, only watch the video is not enough.I'm eager to learn more about programming now!

Great beginner course for starting programming in Python. Wether you want to ultimately learn other languages this is a great place to start. This is a very well thought out and developed course.
JV
Excellent for beginners like me. Although, I do wish that there were more examples and explanations per topic, more exercises per topic, and more projects per topic to really drive home the material.
KP
good morning sir .I'm learned the programming for everybody getting started with python the classes are very interesting and assignments are challenging please give the permission for the next course

Excellent, although, even without having any programming experience except some Visual Basic at school about ten years ago, in my opinion the course could have bee more difficult and the pace quicker.
Extremely basic but Dr. Chuck is so interesting that you never get bored. You can pass the course in a few days with minimum or even no programming knowledge. It's a good starting point for beginners.
Lecture videos were broken into small parts whereby it's easy to understand and digest. Assessment given were relevant to what was taught for each segment. Navigating around course contents were easy.
I did not find this course helpful. The assignments seem to ask for more info that you've been taught in any of the videos. My analogy for the course is this: It's like making a newborn baby watch a video on swimming and then throwing it into the ocean and acting shocked when it doesn't know how to swim. The mentors in the discussion forum are condescending and do not help when you don't understand the terms they are using. I would not recommend this course for beginners.
first time i had done any course online and this was a wonderful experience
I learned all the stuff and the explanation provided was good.
i would like to do more courses from here
thank you!
Great introduction to Python and programming as a whole. Everything is broken down making it easy to understand. Had zero programming experience before and this class made it easy and fun to get into.

After trying tutorial after tutorial and exploring many different resources to learn Python, I have finally found one that works! This is a very fun course, and the free textbook is simply incredible.
The professor's lecture is so awesome, however, the content is adjust to the new programming learners. I heared extended part of the course is charged, you can purchased it if you want deeper learning
Very good introduction to basic programming. Very easy for beginners in python who have already some programming background - but still extremely useful to quickly and efficiently learn python basics.
I completed the course in about three days. I've never programmed before to the learning curve was excruciating but nonetheless I managed to get through and finally get my python feet wet so to speak.
Thank you. It was a worthwhile course. Entertaining as well. I just wish that there were more sample homework before the exercises so students could see how the lessons are applied to actual problems.
excellent for beginners, very well described, great understanding grasped and its simple, very simple, but thats what makes it 5 star, is that its for anyone or as the title says pythong for Everybody
Very slow pace, might be good for totally beginners BUT if you know anything about CS or programming it will be too slow for you.
Easy to follow and not boring. The instructor breaks things down in simple form. The Coursera platform is sometimes a bit quirky but otherwise the content in this course I thought was quite excellent.
Dr. Chuck has a special ability to teach programming to people who doesn't necessarily have programming background. This is rare among programming teachers, and shows that he is an excellent educator.
This course is organized and explained very well. It is moderately challenging, and I recommend it to get interested in Python. The teacher and the assistant staff are very good. I enjoyed the course.
Great teacher Chuck and obviously a great course for people just starting out with programming. Well paced. The suggested timings for the assignments were a bit off, I think, but well, that's just me.
Extremely well laid out curriculum, to the point videos and excellent book. Built my confidence level to clear the course. Thanks Dr.Chuck for all the hard work and diligence to support the community.
Two weeks of all sort of nonsense, including macarena, Harry Potter, sorting hat, videos of meaningless travels and lots of self-promotion. Pure crap that doesn´t worth anybody´s time. When theory started on week 3 it was confusing, boring and as time is life I decided to quit. It shocked me that a serious university like University of Michigan has a clown on its payroll.
