This course will introduce you to the wonderful world of Python programming! We’ll learn about the essential elements of programming and how to construct basic Python programs. We will cover expressions, variables, functions, logic, and conditionals, which are foundational concepts in computer programming. We will also teach you how to use Python modules, which enable you to benefit from the vast array of functionality that is already a part of the Python language. These concepts and skills will help you to begin to think like a computer programmer and to understand how to go about writing Python programs. By the end of the course, you will be able to write short Python programs that are able to accomplish real, practical tasks. This course is the foundation for building expertise in Python programming. As the first course in a specialization, it provides the necessary building blocks for you to succeed at learning to write more complex Python programs. This course uses Python 3. While many Python programs continue to use Python 2, Python 3 is the future of the Python programming language. This first course will use a Python 3 version of the CodeSkulptor development environment, which is specifically designed to help beginning …

This course is very essentials for python beginner. Python coding, syntax, error detection, equation, etc i learn from this course and special thanks to my dear instructor and heartful thanks to the RICE University and Coursera. It will help us in the future career and help to learn Advanced level programming of python.
BATHINENI K –
This course is really good for absolute beginners because they start teaching from scratch in a very understandable way, by giving many examples. But i gave 4 stars because i felt that the course complexity increased suddenly high up the incline from 3rd week to 4th week, i just felt a bit difficult, other than that everything else is amazing.
Jankees R –
Very good and clear course. Last star would be given if it would work in Google Chrome or Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge
Nikhil J –
Very well explained the basics… But I would say the course is good for the one who is new to programming world. I will look for advanced course of Python now.
Muhammad K –

Really liked the development of the course with clear instructions and step–by–step build–up along the way. The final project was challenging but just enough to not be frustrating.

really helpful, I like it very much
Ketyeth –
I really enjoyed this course, and the best part is I passed! The videos are shot with high quality, sound is clear. Both professors are excellent presenters, very experienced, and they always look so positive and encouraging. Lectures are organized very logically, I don’t see any jumps or gaps in concepts. Practice problems in every module are at the right level (or suggest to make it a bit more challenging in the future ) and really relate to the modules. The final project really enhances my understanding of all those coding techniques learned throughout the course. I would highly recommend this course for beginners who want to start learning Python.
Adrian B –
As someone who has past programming experience in different languages, I felt like I needed a good refresher on the basics because I don’t code for a living. This course was just challenging enough for my first time attempt at learning Python but not so challenging that I got frustrated. The pace was good and not super intense. I could work full time, have a life outside of work and still finish the work without feeling rushed.
P G S V –
Both Facilitators performed well
Guoyuan C –
so good!!
Zhuoyu C –
Good tutorial, but I think it focus too much on detail for someone who are new to programming. Show them the fancy part first and leave out the redundant details

Very interesting and helpful! The final project is really combined the knowledge from those 4 weeks.
Terence A B –

Wei Q –
This course is clear and consistent throughout, easy for beginners to get familiar with python, and the humor of Joe and Scott certainly add flavor to the course!
Vipin B –
This course is very good for beginner. It gives exposure to all the basics required to become a good programmer. Its tool suggestions are also very good like pthon tutor and pylint.
Anjela M –
I had tried many other online courses, but never continued and completed them. To my good surprise I was able to follow through this course and complete it. It’s a good start for the beginners who get easily demotivated. Here I was able to get required help via templates, hints and forums to complete the assignment.
Onedio S S J –
Excellent Course! Congrats!
Gabriel N N –
Very informative from the beginning, Could do with some more practical videos though.
Deleted A –
excellent course assignments.
Conrad U –
Great course! Love the python codeskulptor!
JIMDJIO D F D –
This is very good I loved following, now I am ready to solve problems in python
Afridi M –
Loved the instructor!
Paul R W –
I know I lost points on the final due to some formatting errors. It would be good to get more feedback as to what they were. otherwise this was very east to follow and I really enjoyed it.
Dominic T –
Was very clear and helpful! Thanks a lot!
Alex D –
I have experience in Java, I just wanted to start learning Python for work. I was able to do all these in one week, so I can’t say what the experience might be like for a brand new programmer. I thought the instruction was good. I liked how the instructors laid out the tasks and how they progressed. Overall a great course.
Shahrin Z M Y –
Good intro course for python. Test is much harder than the lecture and notes.
Mark A –
Very clear to follow and great amount of tips + guidance!
Gilbert S –
The professors and online mentors work hard to make the material accessible, and encourage students to review the significant ancillary materials they have made available to achieve excellence in this course.
NACHIKETA K –
nice course but need more exaplanation
Ilham R –
As the name suggests, it is so essentials
Ton S –
Please consider revising the questions in the intermediate quizzes that aren’t clear. In the forum you see a number of questions that cause confusing among participants. Instead of saying: “this might be confusing” and “we agree that this is worded strange” revise the questions. Also please consider adding more practice questions between lectures instead of the large list of questions at the end of each week.
