    Probably the gentlest introduction to programming for adults possible - so especially suitable for someone who feels a bit intimidated by computers &/programming - with a very helpful forum and a forgiving grading policy. Four stars because althoug…

    I've tried (and failed) to learn basic programming in the past. This course was accessible, easy to follow and fun. The lectures and exercises demystify Python and programming in general. Plus Chuck is one of the most entertaining lecturers I've ever had. There were a lot of times when I laughed out loud. Not something I would've expected from a course on programming. Highly recommended.

    Good course for learning the pure fundamentals for Python. Dr. Chuck is a great instructor and his lectures are certainly not boring.

    If you have any previous programming background (even minimally), you may find the first several lessons rather easy and skippable. However, as the course progresses the concepts and particularly the assignments become more and more challenging.

    I would definitely consider taking a more advanced Python course from Dr. Chuck.

    Dr. Chuck did a really beautiful job with this MOOC I highly recommend this course for absolute beginners. You will learn the basics of programming and will allow you to take more challenging courses.

    I am taking it along with Rice (Does it sound weird,whatever), and I seriously feel there cannot be a better beginner's program than Dr.Charles' one. #Completenoob

    I have done programming before but that was 6 years ago. His stuff was a amazing way to get back into it. His book and the course together are a great way to dive into understanding programming.

    I would recommend this to anyone and everyone looking to learn programming or refresh on it.
