    Excellent beginners' course. Dr Chuck gives lots of examples and clearly explains the logic behind the code needed for structuring data. The quizzes and programming assignments at the end of each chapter are fun to do and allows you to become confident in understanding the core concepts. Plus, the homework assignments build on each other, so you have a chance to use everything that you've learned. The course was a blast! Highly recommend!

    This was not my first contact with a programming language, but it was with Python. Which I consider an excellent language to start with, with a simple and very powerful syntax.

    I find this course very useful, in which each topic goes deep and is easy to follow. I recommend it!. Dr. Chuck Severance is a great teacher.
