Informações sobre o curso: This two-part course is designed to help students with very little or no computing background learn the basics of building simple interactive applications. Our language of choice, Python, is an easy-to learn, high-level computer language that is used in many of the computational courses offered on Coursera. To make learning Python easy, we have developed a new browser-based programming environment that makes developing interactive applications in Python simple. These applications will involve windows whose contents are graphical and respond to buttons, the keyboard and the mouse. In part 1 of this course, we will introduce the basic elements of programming (such as expressions, conditionals, and functions) and then use these elements to create simple interactive applications such as a digital stopwatch. Part 1 of this class will culminate in building a version of the classic arcade game "Pong".
Para quem é direcionado este curso: Recommended Background - A knowledge of high school mathematics is required. The class is designed for students with no prior programming experience.

The way I see it, this course has been carefully crafted to assist the beginner with developing practical proficiency in building things in Python. I love the fact that this course doesn't leave you hanging with so many references to sift through and go "figure out" on your own as other training platforms tend to do. That leaves beginners confused and lost, and demotivated. But because there is more handholding, yet the perfect balance to give the confidence needed to actual build in python, I think this course is a masterpiece so far. Looking forward to completing the course.
This is the perfect course to improve programming skills in python. Especially, mini-projects were awesome! Had fun! :)
Excellent course. I like that the assignments actually offer a challenge and make you use your skills like an actual programmer.
Great professors, very dedicated, talented and knowledgable. Clearly experts. Very clear instruction. Will Recommend!
