This was a wonderful course! It got really challenging me in Chapter 5. It took what I knew in .Net to help me try and figure out the solution for the graded assignment. I look forward to the next course!

The instructor was very helpful. The material made a lot of sense after he explained it. The course was much better than other online ones I've done where you just type commands with little explanation.

Pretty awesome course to do as a Python beginner. Being a computer science undergraduate myself felt that this course can be taken up without having any prior knowledge to programming. Go house Slytherin!

I would recommend this course to non-programmers and junior programmers too. The material is explained in a very simple manner and the additional weekly interviews are very inspirational and motivational.

Great introduction. Dr Chuck covers the critical pieces without throwing everything at you. Highly recommend it for people learning from square one or just wanting add another language to their toolkit.
