intro to Python (programming) free course, anyone else down?

[htsamurai]

check it out, I'm trying to get into programming and I found this on coursera.
https://www.coursera.org/course/interactivepython

who wants to be my coursera buddy, we can take a bunch of the same courses, and share secrets, do eachothers hair, make out. Sounds fun, dont it?

I've been thinking about learning some coding language.
Why Python?

Python is super beginner friendly and way more intuitive with its syntax and workflow than most languages IMO

pretty much this, at least from what I've heard. Been messing with it, tons of stuff online about it too

Signed up.
I'd been looking at Codeacademy and Programmr but I'm apparently not self-motivated enough...

[Seizurema]

Python is the shit.

I just recently got into linux and it seems like the language to learn. Haven't figured out a way to do it easily though.... until now..

[odontophobia]

I signed up.

[Seizurema]

I'm about to.

Thanks for turning me onto this site mang! Lots of stuff I'll probably take.

[htsamurai]

what other courses did you guys find worth taking?
I've got Game Theory, Intro to Finance, Jazz Improv, Intro to Programming for Musicians and Digital Artists, Songwriting and Inspiring Leadership Through Emotional Intelligence.

lets seriously be Coursera bros!

I've been planning on the coursera Python class, as well as Programming for Musicians and Digital Signal Processing.

In the meantime, learning Python on Codeacademy.com has been working well for me.

[oldangelmidnight]

I didn't see Programming for Musicians and Digital Signal Processing. Sounds cool.

Class semi-started tonight.
Looks like there's a peer review section. We can use this thread as a way to link each other's stuff for review if y'all want.

Cool site! It's a shame they don't have anything on SQL... I need to learn that sometime soon

yeah I was thinking the same thing.
I'm going through the week 0 vids now, Code Skulptor is a genius idea, really hyped for this
