About the Course

How many times have you decided to learn a programming language but got stuck somewhere along the way, grew frustrated, and gave up? This specialization is designed for learners who have little or no programming experience but want to use Python as a tool to play with data. The first course will introduce you to programming languages, with Python as an example. You are going to learn how to use variables and operators, as well as input/output and flow controls to build simple Python programs. The pace will be very slow, so you will feel comfortable learning Python as quickly or as slowly as you like. Are you ready? Let's go! Logo image courtesy of Mourizal Zativa.

This has been a great start to understanding the basics of programming. I would highly recommend this course for folks from non-coding backgrounds (like myself) to try this.

This course is very friendly for a beginner with no background in coding. As a starter, I can pick up all key points. This encourages me to keep going

Di Wu is an excellent teacher! I have struggled to follow the numerous websites teaching Python. His method is simple, clear and to the point. If not for my day job, I'd do a deeper dive and finish all the Python courses in this specialization at one go. Thank you Prof. Di Wu for your straightforward teaching method and keeping it simple!

This training is very good because each topic is explained first with definitions and then presented with a few examples. After all this, we have the opportunity to practice everything on the next examples and tasks. The knowledge is divided into individual topics and is not overwhelming. By far the best Python training on Coursera.

It was a good introductory course to Python. Labs and assignments allow you to practice what is reviewed in the lessons but you will need outside assistance if you're new/novice to programming. I would still recommend this course for all beginners. Welcome to Python!

Everything was super clear until the last assignment. Everyone complaint that we didn't have the tools to resolve Assignment 4. I agree

This is a waste of time. There are so many better resouces out there, and many of them are free. I can't believe that they're going to give you a Master's degree for an education of this quality (from a major research institution, no less...).

Go here instead:

Courses:

Harvard CS50P

Helsinki mooc.fi

Georgia Tech CS1301 on edX

MIT on OCW and edX

freeCodeCamp

Books (free on author's website):

How to Think Like a Computer Scientist (Think Python) (there're interactive edition on the web)
