Awhile back I remember watching a TED talk on the future of free education and a free education course provider called Coursera.
The talk was called What we’re learning from online education by Daphne Koller.
After filtering through the available courses in the computer programming field I found a course that starts on August 19th called Learn to Program: The Fundamentals.
The course is taught by Jennifer Campbell and Paul Gries at the University of Toronto but offered freely through the Coursera site.
The programming language they use for the course is Python.
So I took a leap and registered in the course. It begins on August 19th.
I also reviewed a lot of the materials on Python’s own site: Python.org
