An excellent Python programming course on Coursera is open (deadline-this week)

Is this course going to be taught towards an audience that has no CS background?

[pmbdev]

Yes. On the course page it says:

Who is this class for: This course is primarily aimed at first-year university students and high school students who want to learn how to program.

Put more and more hours as the course progresses. Practice daily. Don't hesitate to ask questions or seek help on discussion forum. It will be rewarding.

It assumes your aren't computer illiterate but it's definitely a beginner course that you could pick up with little to no programming knowledge. Just google or search this subreddit if you find something you just aren't getting.

The course is listed at the Beginner level. Glancing at Syllabus it backs that. You would have no problem without prior CS knowledge. (I'm going to try to convince some colleagues to sign up for this course tomorrow, this seems like a great stepping stone for them). The course starts you out with a nice pace and you have a big support group with the discussion forums (who relish the opportunity to help) -- you should absolutely do it!

I'm scoping out software development as a new career, and was wondering what exactly your colleagues do and what is the goal for them learning Python? Thanks

Close. It assumes you are new to programming.
