Scott, John, Stephen and I are happy to announce that the class website
for our Coursera course "An Introduction to Interactive Programming in
Python" is now open. The class's homepage is viewable at
https://class.coursera.org/interactivepython-2012-001/class/index
The class website includes the first week of class materials as well as a
welcome survey that we encourage everyone to take. Class will
officially start on Oct. 15th, and your first quiz will be due on Oct.
18th. If you have no previous programming experience, we strongly
suggest that you start looking over the first week's material this week
and get an early start on the first week's activities. (A typical week
has 7-8 videos, but we've included more videos in week one to provide
more detail.) We'll be monitoring the class forums this week for your
questions.
We'd like to conclude by sharing a little bit of our philosophy for this
class. We've built a new tool (CodeSkulptor) that will make the
process of creating, saving and sharing your Python programs easy.
We've designed the class curriculum to be fun (focusing on making simple
games). However, learning enough programming to be "dangerous" is a
challenging task. We're going to ask you to work hard (we estimate 7-9
hours a week). For our part, we have four instructors and lots of
community TAs who are committed to answering your questions on the
forums and helping you succeed.
We're all very excited to be offering this class, and we hope you are equally excited to be taking it.
