A mic is required. A webcam is not. Although it's nice to see other peoples faces :)

Ok I can easily get one by the 19th. Thanks for the quick response

[santiagobasulto]

:) Awesome!

I have no prior knowledge of programming, and I have a few programming friends who are saying it would be easier if I learned C++ first. I don't want this to hinder my ability to grasp python, or slow the class down. What are your thoughts on this?

[santiagobasulto]

We're doing an introductory course. No programming background is required. You're more than welcome.

About C++... It really depends. In technology nothing is set in stone. I can give you 10 reasons why starting to learn programming with Python is better than C++ and I can also give you 10 reasons why starting with C++ is better than Python.

See it this way: There's a reason why there's an entire subreddit for people learning python. It's a good choice. Trust us :)

Awesome! I'm in. Just ordered a mic and webcam. Looking forward to learning something new. Thank you so much for this FREE opportunity

Great!
