This MOOC provides you with the foundational skill set required to write computer programs. If you are interested in learning how to write interactive, graphical programs from an introductory level in a real programming language, this is the course for you. You will begin by learning the basics of editing and running programs. Then you will learn how to create 2D graphics using shapes and coordinates. Finally, you will learn how to create interactive graphics that you can control with the mouse. You will even solve a set of interactive puzzles using your coding skills in the Sleuth game which has been created especially for this course. The course uses the Javascript language and the p5.js library.

Principais avaliações do INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER PROGRAMMING
The course itself is great and I have no faults with it. But the whole Sleuth Assignment was rather Frustrating and Tedious.
I really enjoyed this course's structure and learning material. The methods and tools used to teach the information was also very appropriate and efficient.
good foer beginner who wants to learn java script. But it should be clear that the assignment can be finished during taking the course, not only in week1
easy to follow through to learn some basic concept of how computer works, especcially with the concept of internet, would be good to introduce some game dev knowledge briefly maybe
