Great course for technical and non-technical individuals. As a veteran IT practitioner I find Python to be extremely logical in its structure and friendly to learn quickly.

Solid straight-forward approach and presentation. Making some things 'simple' that were not that simple when I first learned them. (Companion book terrific as well.) Thanks!

Dr Chuck is witty and detailed. Since I did had prior experience with python, the first part was more of a review for me but I highly recommend this course for any beginner.

It's a really good course if you are trying programming for the very first time. If you're trying to refresh your basics however, just the assignments should be good enough.

Great when starting the with the basics. Course goes at a nice steady pace and assumes no experience of programming. Charles is a great lecturer and makes it all seem easy

I thought that the course was really great and I learned quite a bit. The only criticism I have is that the jokes made by the prof. made me cringe but that's rather trivial.

That course was very good, the teacher is very cool.

As a begginer in Python, i found it a bit difficult in the chapter 7, I think it was too many content for a short time.

The professor is great at walking you through the concepts at a good pace. Sometimes it feels too slow however its really not as I think the pace helps cement the concepts.
