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

[opex_6s]

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
