Excellent Course. I have computer science background but still as the name suggest its for Everybody and Dr. Chuck is good mentor. Looking forward to other courses of py4e as well. Thank You Coursera

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.

It was a great course. It was challenging yet still fun. Discussion forums were helpful. I definitely need to go through the material a couple of times.

Very well done … appropriate if you have zero programming background or as a quick intro to Phython basics if you have some development under your belt.

This course is a great primer for beginning Python programming. I like having the examples, so I can refer to them later, when I start my own programs.

This course was a good pace for people who are new to programming. I'm not quite new but it helped me to understand concepts that I was shaky on.

Thanks!

Great class, great teacher. Dr. Chuck made it quite easy to understand the difficult nature of Python for me, as someone who has never coded much before
