Free programing class from MIT

Getting ready to take a Python class and I thought I'd mention it for anyone that's interested. There are a lot of other great, free classes from major Universities (https://www.edx.org/schools).

This class assumes no previous programing experience but is far from a cakewalk; if you take it be prepared for the 12 hours per week. A couple people on my team have completed it and found it very useful, even if you don't plan on being a Python developer.

There are no issues if you start and decide it's too much of a commitment. I did that last time around. :)

If you decide to do the class send me a PM.

Took Python in college. I can give you my old text book if you want it for free (if i can find it)

Thanks for posting this. I was just comparing the open courseware chemical fate and transport class that MIT has to the chemical fate course I am currently taking to see if I could understand the concepts better. No luck, theirs focuses on chemistry problems and mine focuses on calculus problems.

Looks like there is a lot of great courses available that I will be checking into.

Coursera and Khan Academy are your friends. I found a free Python instructional online years ago, and am now doing a C language programming class at school.

I'm taking a java class now through Coursera/MIT. Its kicking my ass.

Great find. I also singed up for Python course.

drift_g35: Java sucks! I hated my java course.
