Introduction to Computing using Python
In this computer science course, you will learn about foundational computing principles, such as how to write and read computer code and how to run and debug code.
You will learn about programming concepts in Python and how they demonstrate computing principles and domain applications that use programming concepts and computing principles in real applications.
The course will also cover:
- procedural programming
- control structures
- data structures
- advanced topics in algorithms and object-oriented programming
This course builds on a custom textbook written for the class and online course delivery and provides ample interaction and formative evaluation. The course teaches both the theory and implementation of core computing concepts in a highly interactive, multi-modal manner.

What people are saying
failing several times trying
For me this was a complete success after failing several times trying to lean Python.
indenteation does make sense
This was not not for computing concepts (to whose I have been used since 40 years) but for giving me the possibility of writing and testing code (after so much time) AND learn this strange interpreted language called Python, where indenteation does make sense, that I'm going to use in my spare time.

The lecture video guides me step by step.
problems only require
Exercises and problems only require the knowledge provided in the lectures and/or the smart book (This is in contrast to some other introductory courses where there are wide gaps between the materials in the lectures/books and the knowledge required to do the exercises).
