These courses released for free by MIT OCW have been invaluable to me. Thanks again. The content is nothing short of gold.

[@AskATony]

Nice to see Dr. Bell is back! I saw an earlier version of this course like 8 years ago and it was very good!

[@Amingo21]

Computer science student from Africa taking this course is really helpful.

[@sergemoktali7948]

From Africa thanks a lot. There's no way we might have such a qualitative (and it's free, may God bless you) content from our universities out here. This might make a big difference ❤

[@Dante-fk4yi]

Just get her book, it’s absolutely the same thing.

Hello bro can you please take me through how to install anaconda python un till i reach on code editor and shell/console

What Africa kids need is a device and access to the internet. Knowledge is easily accessible from anywhere in the world in this era. Thanks to her and MIT for making this content available to all.

[@josephcote6120]

I'm retired from a long career as a programmer and programming teacher. Learned and used a lot of languages along the way, but never happened to do Python. Enjoying this series to see what I might have been missing and how Python differs from what I already know.

[@Cukito4]

It's like a heavily improved Basic and it's wonderful.

[@Javy_Chand]

I liked the older version of this class, its great it has been updated! It helped me a bit in my own intro to programming class, so definitely appreciated.

[@banshee6969]

I will learn python in a week if the classes are of this quality. Thanks OCW

[@pandaxpanther8128]

High School freshman here interested in a cs career, and this course so far seems amazing, fast paced but very helpful. Thank you very much for this free course.

[@oakleyorbit]

Already working as a SWE but coming back is really good for brushing up and sharpening your skills.

[@adwaeitdixit9032]

Awesome, was looking for something just like this for brushing up knowledge before I begin my masters

[@ARUNRAWAT-rh5ks]

Thank you, MIT OCW, for democratizing education and empowering learners worldwide.

[@weixuanpks6050]

best course ever. took this few years ago to learn python

Finally they update this course. ❤❤❤

Thank you MIT OCW for doing these classes! I love how Dr. Bell explains things so that even an absolute newcomer like myself can understand it! I'm forever grateful! 🙏🏾

[@zahidnisar3857]

Congratulations to you and the institution, very informative and nice lectures

[@Lamb666]

Quick skim through, definitely looks like a good refresher for an introductory course.

[@vorsybl]

You can find these fundamentals at work in every system, even the most complex.

[@fearmamba]

What do you mean by "Quick skim through"? i'm not a native speaker lol

[@Petticca]

@fearmamba To "skim through" something is to check, or look ahead at a few (usually) random sections of the thing, in this case a video, to better judge if it is likely to be something you will want to go through properly.

[@fearmamba]

@@Petticca Oh, thanks bro, that makes totally sense.

[@Studentmaniac]

I watched half way now I will try to complete with the pace of MIT Schedules

"Wow, this introduction to computer science and programming using Python is simply fantastic! I love how the video covers everything from the basics to more advanced concepts in such a clear and engaging way. Whether you're new to coding or looking to sharpen your skills, this series is a must-watch. Can't wait to see what else is in store - let's code our way to success together!"❤

[@darrondavis5848]

I am struggling with the circumference question. Pi=3.14, radius 2.2*2 .My answer is 13.8. Mit answer is 15. Please assist...😢

[@steve3586rgt]

@@darrondavis5848 The circumference is 13.8... like you calculated. When she mentions "15 something" she's actually referring to the _area_ of the circle, which is (2.2**2)*pi. I had to go back and replay that part several times before I realized she was referring to the area not the circumference. So to summarize: pi is 3.14159292 and circumference is pi*4.4=13.823008848 and area is pi*4.84=15.205309733.

[@joesan7588]

@@darrondavis5848 operation is Pi*rad^2 = 3.14*2.2*2.2 = 15 and this as an integer number .

[@joesan7588]

just adding in Phyton exponential operator is coded as doble star so; it should be written as 2.2**2

Naming your kid Ana with a last name of Bell ensures that kid having to clarify her name for the rest of her life.

I have this weird problem with Spyder Ver 5.5.4. If I run the "Compute approximate value for pi", it works when I just click on Run and then type the variable names they return the proper values. But if I click on Debug and Run button, it fails and complains that pi is not defined.

HEY, IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE TEXTBOOK (OR JUST DON'T WANT TO READ ALONE), I'M DOING ALL THE ASSIGNED READING FOR THIS COURSE ON A PLAYLIST OF VIDEOS ON MY CHANNEL I hope that's allowed, I mean I'm never in a million years going to make money off of that.

Hello. Thank you for uploading this amazing course, but I was wondering how is it different from 6.00.2x on EdX. I tried to enroll but I'm past the the deadline.

[@mitocw]

It has similar materials as the EdX course when it was run in 2022. The MIT OpenCourseWare version doesn't have built-in assessments, people to help answer questions, and any certificates of completion... but it is always available. There is also another EdX version of this starting May 29th, if you are willing to wait: www.edx.org/learn/computer-science/massachusetts-institute-of-technology-introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming-using-python. Best wishes on your studies!

I have read her book

[@LanKelley]

[@chandrasekars8904]

This is a great channel on Python programming. There is one channel "techie talkee" which explains all important features and concepts in Python - Data Science very clearly with excellent examples. It will be very useful to watch.

[@pjm3005]

i assumed that an MIT lecture would be harder than this.

[@mitocw]

We recommend look for a course that is not titled "Introduction to...". As the course description states, "This subject is aimed at students with little to no programming experience." Here's a link to all the courses that we have: ocw.mit.edu/search/?t=Programming+Languages. If you just want video lectures, click on "Lecture Videos" under Features. Best wishes on your studies!

[@gabrielgomesmabiala6707]

People are always praising MIT so we must see some of the lecture live to really confirm that they are brilliant

How to submit course

[@brittnyfreeman3650]

What is the next course after we complete this one?

[@mitocw]

To get an idea of what courses to take, we recommend you look at the EECE Curriculum page: www.eecs.mit.edu/academics/undergraduate-programs/curriculum/. Best wishes on your studies!

[@rafaelquadros7970]

Hi, just started following this as I wish to learn the basics about CS and coding. At 22:30 she runs a program, can anyone tell me if that's free and where can I download it? I couldn't find info about it at the course information page.

[@mitocw]

She is using Python to talk about the types of data objects. Python is free to download and use: www.python.org/downloads/. Best wishes on your studies!

Can I learn from here,if I don't have any knowledge in computer science?

[@mitocw]

Yes, this course is designed for people who don't have any computer programming experience.
