AnonymousVery good. It is step by step. The person who is explaining it takes time to explain to you to help you remember and understand. I would recommend this to people who are getting started. It also challenges you and gives you assignments to challenge. You also code yourself. In the courses, you get videos, assignments and you also have to read.You can even change the language. :)

AnonymousVideos are superb, coach has quality knowledge.
Assignments are not good at all. There are no tests for them. Its really chunky and old style. Especially if you compare them to like Codewars.com. Also the code editor is garbage sometimes puts spaces or tabs or even whitespaces. Easier to use your own and copy paste back in. -

Anonymous is taking this course right now.
I am taking this course right now . It's an awesome course !! I think if someone really wants to gain confidence in Python then you should take Andrea Neagoi Python Zero To Mastery course with this . -
AnonymousA very good course about Python. It is given by an experienced instructor, who is abel to learn new and difficult stuff in an very understandeble manner. Not only the videos but also the problems to solve helps understanding. Only the last lessons are more difficult. Clearly meant to dig in yourself and find out how more smaller programs can efficient and more understandeble solve difficult problems. Thanks for this great course.

AnonymousI wish dr. chuck could be my teacher. The way he teaches and just sends over a piece of information to the student is so seamless and so perfect.. seriously, I have never met such an amazing teacher that just delivers courses the way he does. I'm in love with this course and it's helping me throughout my years of decision-making for what I will be going for in my higher educations.

in fact this is the best tutorials i've had from all python tutorials so far. I'd recommend it for anyone who is interested in learning python. The teaching methodology is more interactive and interactive exercises coupled with a lot of examples. It also incorporates a lot of friendly videos and does'nt makes one bored when sitting on the tutorials -
AnonymousI have some programming background and this was my first attempt at Python. I found the course to be well taught and relevant to real world examples. I had some difficult with the web services section so I would have appreciated some more instruction in this area. I would recommend this as an introduction course to Python.

The greatest course on Python i've ever been attending, thank you dr. Chuck for all your amasing work you have done to help stutendts like me to enter in a wonderful world of programming. I'm going to attend all your other courses on django, postgreSQL, and web development -
AnonymousIts the best way to gain confidence in coding through practice and regular exercises,
it took me 4 weeks for almost completing the course with understanding, not only for beginners but also for those who want to brush up their , its the best place to go py4e.org -

Dr Severance is truly a hero in the field, After a year of trying other courses in different styles and languages with little luck or gain, I'm finally beginning to feel like a programmer day by day thanks to CSev, and he has awesome tattoos. -
Andrew Griffin completed this course, spending 4 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be medium.
Great course with really good explanations of the basics for Python programming. I would definitely recommend that anyone considering taking a programming course should take this course first. While you start from the bare bones basics as you progress through the course you are quickly introduced to some harder ideas and concepts. -
AnonymousThis is an awesome course. I am halfway through and really enjoying it. The way Chuck explains python, it is very clear. I have tried other free online courses on python, but this one is the best. May be, I like the way he explains :)
