Dear shrini, Scott, John, Stephen and I are happy to announce that the class website for our Coursera course "An Introduction to Interactive Programming in Python" is now open. The class's homepage is viewable at https://class.coursera.org/interactivepython-2012-001/class/index The class website includes the first week of class materials as well as a welcome survey that we encourage everyone to take. Class will officially start on Oct. 15th, and your first quiz will be due on Oct. 18th. If you have no previous programming experience, we strongly suggest that you start looking over the first week's material this week and get an early start on the first week's activities. (A typical week has 7-8 videos, but we've included more videos in week one to provide more detail.) We'll be monitoring the class forums this week for your questions. We'd like to conclude by sharing a little bit of our philosophy for this class. We've built a new tool (CodeSkulptor) that will make the process of creating, saving and sharing your Python programs easy. We've designed the class curriculum to be fun (focusing on making simple games). However, learning enough programming to be "dangerous" is a challenging task. We're going to ask you to work hard (we estimate 7-9 hours a week). For our part, we have four instructors and lots of community TAs who are committed to answering your questions on the forums and helping you succeed. We're all very excited to be offering this class, and we hope you are equally excited to be taking it.
