    I just bought the book “Python-introduction to programming”

    @superrcabb11 I would suggest buying the book “C++ For Dummies”. It comes with a free compiler. It’s among the most common and useful languages and you won’t need to buy anything.

    My 7 year old son programs in C++ and that’s how he learned.

    It is my dream to study at MIT but due to lack of financial support and distance, its seems like my dream is impossible.. but now that there is an online course, it feels like I am a hundred step closer to my dream.. thank you very much.. :’)

    Such a great school. It’s nice that I can go to class here even if I’m 3000 miles away.

    Hey this is great! I’m going to take Intro to Computer Science and I have no clue what to expect. These lectures could really make the difference for me.
    Thanks MIT!

    @Avatar831 It is not absolutely useless because you are learning it once, then when you actually have to take the class in college then you can pay more close attention to the things that you may have missed the first time around, or things that you may not have understood as well, and all the while not having to pay for it again.

    @Avatar831 The education is whats important. Not the piece of paper.

    This may Technically be “free” Ivy League Education, but it’s absolutely useless without any degree.
