Online Course : "An Introduction to Interactive Programming in Python" by Rice University

[Tim Cooke]

Today is the beginning of the Rice University run course on An Introduction to Interactive Programming in Python hosted on Coursera.

Rice University wrote:This course is designed to be a fun introduction to the basics of programming in Python. Our main focus will be on building simple interactive games such as Pong, Blackjack and Asteroids.

If you are taking this course then swing by the Bunkhouse Lounge and have a chat with fellow Ranchers on any issues you have, or just if you want to tell us about something cool you've just learned. I've heard on the grapevine that a couple of our members are taking the course so you'll be in good company.

Best of luck, and have fun with it!

As Tim mentioned, the course opened up last night/this morning (depending on your time zone). Right now, we've been concentrating comments on this primary thread: https://coderanch.com/t/638588/Bunkhouse-Lounge/Online-Introduction-Interactive-Programming-Python

For now, I'm kind of inclined to keep just using that thread. If I think it's getting too bulky and we fork it, I'll include any reference links to new forks on the thread above.
I've also posted a link to that thread in the Coursera class introduction forum, so we may see some new JavaRanch members trickling over.

Cheers!
